The interview process was very well organized. All the paperwork from NVC made it to the consulate, so there was no need for me to submit any additional documents. Once you go in and check out your cell phone, you walk into the interview room. The person at the first desk takes your passport and gives you a DHL form to fill out so your passport can be delivered back to you.
Then, a person calls you up from the desk marked - Immigrant petitions and checks all the paperwork that the NCV submitted together with you, asking you questions about your relationship in the meantime. This person asked for a certificate of martial status (udostoverenie za semeino polojenie) that one is supposed to get from their local municpality - I did not have one, but it turned out not to be a problem.
She asked me for pictures, I had some from the wedding, honeymoon and Christmas with my family after the wedding. She asked for pictures of us before we got married, I have not brought any, but it may be a good idea to bring some. After she checked all the forms and organized them for the CO she told me to sit down and wait.
The CO called me and she was very nice and sweet. She asked me to tell her the story of our relationship. Some of the questions she asked were:
1. How did you meet?
2. How long have you been together?
3. How many times has your husband been to Bulgaria?
4. Did some of his family attend your wedding here?
5. What do you plan to work there?
6. What does your husband work?
7. Where do you plan to live?
8. When do you plan to travel?
That was basically it. She asked me to swear everything on the form was true, and I knew the good news was coming. She gave me a little pin with the US flag and wished me good luck and all the best in America.
She was very nice, not at all arrogant or condescending or pushy. I felt very much at ease.
Good luck everyone!
