I'm submitting this review second-hand as I was not there for the interview itself. I apologize in advance if my details are flimsy as I know many of you turn to these reviews to get an idea of what to expect. My fiance's appointment was April 19th, at 9:30AM. He arrived right on time, passed through security and had to surrender his mobile phone. He was asked to pay the fee for the day, which he did and then proceeded to wait in a hallway for about an hour. After awhile a tall woman appeared and called him in. He said she was rather scary to be honest, he said that most of the other official people around seemed very open and nice, but this woman was very 'business'. She started out asking simple questions about where and when me met but did not seem very concerned with the topic. She did not ask to see any of the photos he brought, nor did she ask for the updated letter of intent. Her focus was the money situation. I am not employed, haven't been for 10 years, I live off the interest of a large inheritance. She cornered him about my income being beneath poverty guidelines, but the sheer amount of my assets made the difference. She allowed him to present proof of his own assets and potential income. She was interested in his education, and what plans he had for employment. All her questions revolved around the money and sponsorship, that was the breadth of the interview. He told me it was only about a half hour in total for the actual interview itself. When she seemed satisfied, she simply told him to go pay the courier fee for the visa delivery and that was it! No "Welcome to the states" or "You've got the visa", just told him to go pay the courier and he should receive his passport back within a week. He and I both wished she was a bit more pleasant and open, but I guess you can't have everything! I'm just glad we made it
