I am just stating the experience on behalf of my wife.
Her experience wasn't bad at all rather it was way much better than she anticipated. Everything that was asked from her was relevant and we prepared well for those questions. Anyway, from landing in the embassy door step and wait outside in a line to coming out from the embassy took around 2 hours, which was incredibly good.
Interview Time was at 8:00 AM and she was asked to appear 30 minutes before the interview time.
Reached at the embassy little before 7:00 PM. The street was clear and there wasn’t much traffic, hence reached little earlier than anticipated
She along with the other candidates were taken inside around 7:20 AM. They were reminded that no cell phone was allowed and all went through the metal detector. After settling down, she was called at counter 1 where she submitted the interview letter, her passport and 2 passport size photograph. The gentleman was courteous and while sorting out those papers asked few basic questions. At the end he returned the medical report back to her and suggested to pick up the original papers from the CO.
She came back and waited for 10-15 minutes and was called for finger printing in window 2. This was quick and seemless and after that waiting started again.
Fortunately she didn't have to wait for long as well. After 10-15 minutes she was called again at window 3. The CO was a white guy who was really polite and courteous to her. He decided to continue the interview in Bengali (could be bit broken but was good enough for her)
He asked some really basic questions regarding our marriage, when we met, what do I do and so on, something similar to what she was asked earlier on window 1. Also wanted to see some of our wedding pictures. Right after seeing the pictures, the CO focused on his PC and after few minutes told her "Congratulations, you are approved". My wife profusely thanked the CO and asked for the originals. Even though there was bit of confusion finding all the originals, but I guess that's not something outrageous and is understandable. She she came out before 10:00 AM.
As per her, people were courteous and helpful, environment was clean and the process was smooth. In her view she was happy with everything. I guess the joy transpired to everything else but I will honor her judgement. It was all good at the end of the morning.
