the entire embassy visit was easy and went very smoothly.
we(both usc and alien fiancee) arrived at the embassy around 12:45, we were one of the first to arrive, and it was empty inside, security was so nice, but dont bring anything with you, they will store mobile phones and small camera but not much else... around 13:05 they started to call numbers and first for us it was window number 5,just to check interview appointment letter,
then sit and wait for document check(waited for about 30 minutes), when called we returned to window 5 and one by one we were asked for our documents. usc was required to submit a new letter of intent to marry, though alien fiancee was not required to submit new letterr, as they said her attendance at the interview was proof in it of it self of her intent to marry.. we had all correct paperwork so it went very well, the woman was pleaseant.
WE TRANSLATED OUR OWN DOCUMENTS AND WAS CERTIFIED(SIGNED) BY BENIFICIARY, WHICH WAS NO PROBLEM AT ALL, (WE used google translate to start then just cleaned it up.) YOU CAN TRANSLATE YOUR DOCUMENTS BY YOURSELF IF YOU WANT!!!!
she told us to wait for consular officer to call us!
waited for about 15-20 minutes then the consular office called us, first just the alien fiancee, the consular officer(CO) was very nice and asked a few questions,
how and when did you meet,, when will you get married, when was the last time saw fiancee and how often have you seen fiance, at which point the CO told me, the UScitizen i could come to counter and answer as well...
asked about finacial support documents, as we had a third party, usCitizen's mother, as the finacial sponsor, which was no problem at all!!
and couple other really easy questions about paperwork.
we were able to both attend the interview which made the whole process easier, both for fiancee and the embassy!!
The consular officer was very very nice and everything went perfectly and easily.( the beneficiary has had a tourist visa to the usa denied about 4 years ago and it never even came up during the questioning !!)
all in all it was a great experience and easy !! you have nothing to fear if you have all your paperwork!!!
