Overall - very good experience: the officer was really nice. It is really OK if the package hasnt been delivered in time - you can come w/o it.
Some things that can frustrate but are not worth it:
- fiance visa page at embassy official web site (http://moscow.usembassy.gov/fiancee.html) doesnt say it really clear about DHL airbill paid - just visit any DHL office before interview and tell you need passport delivery from US embassy, they know what it is)
- at the entrance you need to tell security staff that purpose of your visit is immigration visa interview - they have look up in special list, different from common (not immigration) visa interview list.
- cashier desk opens at 8:30 am (that makes a line of people who have migration interview at 8 am and who have to to pay the fee before interview has started. Cashier doesnt accept credit cards, but is fine either with rubles or usd)
- Help Center really replies on emails you send them but sometimes write weird things (i had my interview date changed due Moscow wildfires in Aug 2010 to Sep 2010 - when embassy contacted me via mobile they said time was 8 am, but email reply stated 10 am - anyway all interviews are at 8 am)
Actually interview went all smooth and easy - took 2 h overall (entered embassy at 7:40 am, left 9:40 am) but only 10 min of actual interview.
