This is for the Nashville office since VJ is too lazy to add it to the list:
1) The office was easy to find (especially if you stay at the Best Western or Holiday Inn Express that are 2 minutes away).
2) You have to go through Airport like security (removal of shoes, belt, jewelry, etc then metal detected). You can bring your phone which is nice, but usage is discouraged.
3) The beneficiary checks in using their ID (Me as the petitioner never had it checked).
4) You are then called by the immigration officer.
5) You are sworn in just like when you had the consulate interview and then the beneficiaries picture and index fingerprints are checked.
6) Both my wife, myself, and my 11 month old daughter were allowed in during the initial interviewing. I evidently didn't submit a copy of my passport's bio page so it was good that I brought both my passport and a copy.
7) I submitted additional financial documents (like my last 2 months of pay stubs) just to strengthen that, but the IO didn't need anything else on that topic since I had submitted my IRS tax returns.
8) We gave her pictures, copies of both of my retirements with her listed as a beneficiary, insurance statements with our names on it, electric bills with both our names on it, and then for shits and giggles a credit card offer my wife got in the mail. We didn't have lease or banking because we hadn't gotten her SSN....
9) We did get asked "How did we meet?" "Where did I propose?" "show me a picture of the wedding ceremony you guys had" "Is our Daughter going to be added to this application (she's gotten Us citizenship through me so no worries there).
10) The IO went through the application to verify things were correct (wedding date, names, birthdays, etc).
11) Once the IO reached the Eligibility question portion (The Yes/No questions you have to answer about if you had a crime ever, etc), the IO escorted me and my daughter out. This part is only asked of the beneficiary. My wife told me the IO went through each Yes/No question. Only thing my wife was asked about was a prior conviction that was overturned (an overstay in Switzerland) that she provided the copies of the court document with the translation, which the IO was very cool about in her comments.
12) After that, they are lead out a different door on the other side of the waiting room and out you go. We got told that the IO has 30 days to review the case, request additional information, etc.
