Interview was straightforward -- we checked in 15 minutes before the interview time. There was a basic document check at check-in, then we went into a big room with two lines, one for the pre-interview document check, and the second for the interview itself. The pre-interview document check was straightforward, as was the interview that followed -- just a few questions for Giuditta -- when did you meet your fiancee, what's your job, have you lived anywhere other than France and Italy, what's your fiancé's job, has he lived in France with you. Then the consular officer stamped the application and said, "everything is in order, the visa is approved, you should get your visa in two weeks."
One thing that I hadn't fully grasped is that it's a good thing for the petitioner to come with the applicant. It's not required, and I'm sure Giuditta would have done fine if I hadn't been there. But the consular officer did direct a few questions to me (about my divorces and my children, and why we were going to live in Oregon), and I got the sense that it helped that I was there. So if you're fortunate to be in a position where you can both come, you should.
