Went pretty quick. She asked my husband to stay in the waiting room, and just asked me few question : how/where we met, how many times visited each other and it was done :)
Very friendly !
Edit : I received a wrong green card. I got a 10y green card instead of a 2y conditional. Sent the I-90 only about a month and half ago got NOA1, waiting for the ne green card. |

My experience there was pretty good!
I arrived around 12:35 (apt at 1pm). I had to wait until around 12:45/50.
Guards were very nice and respectful.
I think I arrived around 12:55 (after security check, no phone!! Take a book or something not to be bored..), and first call was , i think, 30 minutes later.
A nice lady speaking french asked for my passport and my waiting ticket. 10 seconds later she gave it back to me and asked me to sat down and wait until i get called again. 1 hour later, same lady called me and asked for all papers except proves of relationship. She didn't ask for JAPD.
Just to say, if someone make same mistake as me : Birth certificate older than 3 months old are FINE!
She then said to wait for the consul to call me. It seems that there was only 1 consul that was dealing with K1 visa. She didn't interview any other type of visa.
After maybe 20-30 minutes later (3 K1 before me), the consul called me. She asked if i wanted the interview in english or french. I chose english bcs for some reason i find it less stressful.
She asked how we met, how many time he visited, how many times i visited him, if he has been to college, and what was his job.
She then made a big smile (Bcs she wasnt smiling at all to be honnest.. not to be stressful, but it felt like she was suspicious), and said " CONGRATULATIONS!! You'll receive your visa within 7 to 10 days" and gave me a brochure about domestic violences for K1 visa beneficiaries.
So i came in around 1pm, i got out around 3:30 pm 
It was a great experience overall. I thought inside of embassy was HUGE and i would be almost alone or with 2-3 persons. But the inside is really pretty (american architecture + Obama and CLinton Pics ), small and there was like 20-30 ppl for different types of visas. |

This local office is probably one of the best you can find.. Had to go there twice since after my itnerview, I received the wrong GC (10y). The lady that received explained everything to me, made copies of my papers, wrote down things with USCIS stamp. I mean, she really did a great job. For the interview, the I was really nice. She asked my husband to stay in waiting room (i got scared to be honesthaa), but she just intervew me. It was like.. 10 mins, time for her to type things in her computer. How and where we met, how many times, looked at pics and thats it
Dont be afraid! They seems to be a good team there |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
