Overall very pleasant and timely experience! Very well organized and short waiting times. I was unable to attend and he went on his own. Just be sure to have all your documents ready and organized in a way that is quick for you to locate them!
Still doing a 2 day interview. This is what my fiance reported to me about the 2 days.
Day 1: Arrived early, took awhile to get in as many others showed up without the needed documents and slowed down the line. No one was particularly pleasant, but it all went smoothly. Asked to give various civil documents and proof of our continued relationship. Was given a pamphlet to take and look over, told what time to be back the next day for the interview, and given a complete copy of our original application to "look over". He was only asked who petitioned him and if he had a daughter. Neither the I-134 nor any financial documents were requested. Took about an hour.
Day 2: Arrived early and waited about 45 minutes for his interview once inside. Got a bit nervous as he watched a LOT of people get denied/not approved on the spot for tourist and resident visas before his turn as you can hear and see all the interviews taking place. Interview was very conversational and lasted less than 5 minutes. Interviewer (Andrew) was quite nice and very polite. Interview started in Spanish and switched to English after he asked my fiance were I live now in the US and my fiance responded with the name of my city and state in an American accent (he is also a native English speaker). After that the last few questions were in English before he said Welcome! and approved my fiance. The status in CEAC changed to Approved about an hour after his interview was over!
Questions asked (though all asked conversationally):
(Spanish)
Who is petitioning you?
Where did you meet?
I saw in your file you met on Tinder?
Was she living here?
Why did she live here?
How did all that happen? (Explained why I lived there 8 years before we met)
Where did she move after she lived in Ecuador?
(Switched to English after this question and interviewer seemed to relax quite a bit and smiled/had a pleasant face for the rest of the questions)
Are you going to get married there? I hear it's nice. (Meaning the city he just mentioned I live in)
Did you propose to her?
Do you have plans for the wedding?
And: Welcome!
Never asked to see our I-134 or any financial documents. Did not ask for anything additional on Day 2. Gave back papers given on day 1 and a white/blue paper saying he was approved and info on passport delivery.
