I reached the embassy at 6:45am for 7:15am appointment.
After checking the appointment letter the guard let us in.
On reaching the hall, the attendants instructed us to take out our documents and get ready.
On reaching the hall, immediately I was called at one of the windows (I was issued the first token)
HERE there was a n Indian lady officer who greeted me and asked me to show all the documents (ds160, PCC, birth certificate, translators affidavit-original and a photocopy)
Then she started asking me questions;
*who is calling you
*what is your name
*have you ever been us
*have you ever applied for a visa and got denied
*what is your date of birth
These were simple questions, I answered all of them. Then she started to ask if my fiance has sent me any sponsoring documents, I confirmed if she is asking for the i-134. She said yes and then she started typing something on the computer and then started arranging all my documents and stapled them neatly and placed it in an orange file and wrote my name on it and issued me the token for the final interview.
I then waited for my turn, meanwhile rest where going through the same procedure. I waited for roughly 40 minutes. My token number was then flashed on the screen. I went to the respective window and saw an American officer waiting for me, he was a sturdy man maybe in his early 30's, casually dressed. I greeted him and he greeted me back but he had no smile. He asked me to raise my arm and take the oath. He then started to ask,

Me: Answered
Interviewer: Oh, how do you know if he is trustworthy? When was the last time you saw him?
Me: Answered
Interviewer: Thats totally fine.
He took an entire 5 mins I suppose to see all the pictures and read their captions
After this he started to type, without uttering a word.
He has asked me a lot of questions with a stern face, and I really couldn’t believe I answered to all of them very confidently looking into his eyes!
Then he said, ok, your visa is approved!!!! (With a smile)😇🌸
He then started to explained about the domestic violence and congratulated me and gave me the white receipt. 🎉🎉🎉♥ï¸
