Overall, I had a good experience during my interview!
I arrived at 8am (appointment was at 8:45am) and the security guard directed me to a long line of people. There was another security guard to the side holding up a small square shaped cardboard (approx. 12 by 12 inch) and said that any electronic devices, keys, or purse/package that was bigger than that cardboard would not be able allowed in and that the Embassy would not hold your items so basically…its your problem how you get rid of those items. A lot of people sounded mad but most were there with relatives, I left my purse with my mom and just when in with my documents and wallet.
Almost immediately, a guard called for anyone applying for a relative/fiancé visa to step aside and join another (much shorter) line. I went in almost immediately after that. Make sure to keep an eye out on your things going through the security point because I almost lost my appointment letter on the conveyor belt they use to scan your items. I followed the path leaving the security office and turned right at the end. I handed my appointment letter to the person standing at the door, do not sit outside and wait with the mass of people, right after you hand them your appointment letter you go straight in and all the way to the back of a long room. There are several windows for interviews but the ones at the end, #9 onwards, are for non tourist visas.
Once inside, I waited for about 15 minutes for window #11 to call me. Since this was my second interview the lady just asked for my antecedents penales, judiciales, and policiales. I had to let her know that I updated the Affidavits of Support so that she would take them. She also asked for my medical exam, which she took and just handed back the xray that was inside. I was given a green slip of paper and asked to walk outside, turn left and head for the door right in front of the American flat to make the payment. It the only door, huge, like a vault…like golden gates…cant miss it. Walked inside, and entered a small room to the left, there I had to walk straight to the first window (Caja) to make the payment…Do Not take a ticket and wait, just go straight to the Caja and make the payment! I paid in cash but they also took Visa.
After that I walked all the way back to the first long room and sat…and waited. You don’t have to notify anyone that you made the payment; you just wait till they call you back up. About an hour and a half later, I was called up to the window again and they asked the payment voucher and took my fingers prints. After this point its just a bunch of waiting….
It was a nice wait, I got the chance to talk to some of the other people waiting for their interview and exchange stories. The interviews were being held in window #14 and #15 (actually a room not a window).
At 12:20pm I was finally called into room #15, the consular officer asked how long I’d been waiting and apologized for the delay. He looked over my file and noticed that I was approved for the I601 Waiver; he asked if I had a copy of the approval (thank God I did) and just read over it and handed it right back. I was asked the following: When did you enter the US? Why did you leave the US? Did you meet your Fiancé after leaving the US? What’s your fiancé’s profession? How much does he get paid? (I had a sponsor because my fiancé was hired just 4 days before my interview) When do you plan on getting married?
After that he just grabbed a piece of paper, wrote some things down, and said “Congratulations, your visa has been approved.” I was so happy; I was trying not to cry! He handed me instructions on how to register on DHL, but I told him I’d already done so (although Im not sure if I did it right). The instructions weren’t much help either, it made no sense when I tried to follow them at home. When I left the interview, there were about 6 more people waiting, so don’t get too worried if the wait is long.

*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.
