My interview experience was actually not bad.
I had the interview at 1 pm. I suggest you come 30min before because there is a high chance that there would be 20 people in front of you. At first, you need to get DS form you applied online, one photo and your passport. For K1 and lottery applicants they were also required to take out the interview letter. We showed these documents at the very first desk before we entered the embassy (In this step they check if you have the interview that day, check the DS form and ask you what language you want to speak to the CO). Step 2, we went through a security check (still outside). Step 3, we entered the embassy and went through a full security check where we were asked to turn our phones off and hand them to them. Step 4, we entered to the room full of chairs right in front of windows with curtains, where the interview takes place. Handed in our documents and were asked to wait till they called us to one of the 7 windows. Before you start the interview, a Moroccan CO takes the required documents and might ask you some questions. These are the Qs he asked me:
Who's your petitioner?
Have you ever traveled abroad? for how long?
Do you have any other documents to support your Affidavit form?
Has your fiance ever been married? Have you?
Are you married now?
Very a few questions before he sent me back to my chair to wait for the interview call. Since it was a long list of applicants of different types of visa and that I was at the end of it, I waited almost 4 hours. It was nerve-wracking but at the same time, most of the people who had the interview before me, were approved, so that calmed me and gave me hope :D.
I finally got called to one of the windows and there was an American CO who started speaking to me in English. Even though they were more Americans there, they all spoke very clear Darija so don't worry if you can't speak English well. The questions I remember were :
Who's your petitioner?
Where have you met?
What happened next? where and when did she leave? When did she come back to Morocco?
Where does she live? Where is she now?
What does she do? is that her plan for the future?
What is your plan for work in the US?
Tell me about your wedding plans.
Do you plan on having kids?
What is your religion? What is hers?
Do you have any photos of you both?
(he shuffled through them for 10 seconds and gave them back)
Did you sign up for Aramex?
The interview lasted for less than 10 min. The CO was very nice and friendly with a smile.
For my case, I believe I had no red flags, met my fiance at least 9 times, traveled together to another country and lived there for 4 months, met most of her family in person, so I think that's why there weren't many questions or doubts.
My advice is that you shouldn't complicate things. If you brought every document they asked for and your relationship is legitimate, there is nothing to be worried about. Because there is no way you wouldn't know the answers to the questions they ask.
The embassy location was 10 min taxi from Casaport train station, but if you don't want to risk being late, I really suggest renting an airbnb apt the night before. There are plenty just 4 min to 10 min walk around it. Not will it save you time, but also the stress of transportation and traffic jams. If you really know Casablanca, you'd know what I'm talking about. It is usually crowded already by 6-7 am, so think about it.
Good luck to everyone.
