1. U.S. citizen fiance cannot come into the embassy for the interview. We emailed the embassy and they said that of course the fiance is welcome to the interview, then we gave them our names for the admittance list and printed out the email as proof; HOWEVER on the day of the interview she was not let in by security and had to wait outside. Inside I asked everyone including the consular officer if my fiance can come in, but they said that no one is allowed to come in with me.
2. I had a morning appointment. After going through security (which took about 5 minutes) I entered a waiting room, sat down, and waited. In about 5 minutes my name was called and I went up to a person standing behind a window. He took my paperwork, scanned my fingerprints, and checked for my DS-160 on the computer. He did not need the affidavit of support that I brought, however he said that sometimes they ask for it later at the interview. Then he told me to come back that same afternoon.
3. I came back in the afternoon and waited in the waiting room for only 5 minutes (but I was the first one called both times, and there were about 13 other people in the same room). My name was called to a different window and different person. First I had to raise my right hand and swear that I was familiar with all the paperwork I submitted it was true. The person asked me basic questions including:
- Tell me about the first time you two met.
- Where are you going to live?
- Do you have any wedding plans?
- Have you ever been to the US?
- Are you going to do a wedding here in Tunisia?
- Do you have more photos than these? (I took 6 recent photos that they could keep, and a photo story album for them just to look at)
The person scanned my fingerprints again and handed me a pink slip of paper with a date 6 days later to pick up the visa and package.
Overall both officers were very nice and quick.
