My husband had his interview at 7:30am on September 1st. He arrived one hour early. They took his fingerprints promptly after him entering the embassy but then had to wait an hour before being interviewed. The consular officer was an American man who spoke Arabic. He treated my husband poorly from the start and told him his English sucked. The interview lasted only 30 minutes. Asked how we met, where I went to school and did I graduate, the names of my family members, very basic questions. The CO told my husband at the end he believed he was not telling the truth because of our language barrier and gave him a paper requesting our chat logs from Facebook since that is how we commonly communicate. My husband tried to show the CO more evidence he had brought with him but he refused to look at it. Simply told my husband "I want more" in a rude tone and ended the interview. We sent back the requested chat logs same day and our case has not yet updated to a new status.
It wasn't a horrible experience for my husband but it was not a real confidence booster to have his English made fun of and to be treated so rudely. Fortunately, we had practiced the interview beforehand and he knew it was likely he would get a tough CO.
