I had my interview today (Dec.01). It was scheduled at 8 am. I arrived to the Embassy at about 7:30 and there was a long line already (about 30 people). A guard took our passports in 15 minutes, checked them and gave them back. Then all the line was moving fast entering the Embassy. Immigrant visa applicants were asked to follow the guard and we went to the 2nd floor. Then an officer asked everyone for their documents (originals and delivery confirmation page).
I was asked to go to the window 24 for the interview. A consular officer (young blond girl) was very nice and friendly. She didn't ask me about the language that I prefered to use and started talking in Russian. So, I just started responding her questions. The questions were very common: Where and when we met? Have you/your husband been in the US and how many times? Does he have children? How old they are? What do you do for living? What does your husband do for living? Does he speak Russian? And that's it.
Then she said that my visa was approved and I will get my passport in about 1 week.
She never asked me about any confirmation of our relationship. I had a huge folder with photos, tickets, Facebook and Skype chats and other stuff.
We even spoke a bit in English after the formal interview. She was a little bit confused reading some information in Russian during the interview. And I just wanted to make a compliment that her Russian language was very good. Because I know how hard is our language for foreigners.
So, I left the Embassy at 10 am. Everything took 2 hours taking into account that I was #4 in the line for the interview.
