Hello!
First at all, forgive my english but I wanted to share with you about my interview tuesday (the fourth of march) in Barbados;
I already send ds-156 (sign), ds-156K (sign) and ds-230 part 1 ( sign), they never ask me for ds-230 part 2;
The first step was to ask me documents (it was only administrative), she asks me for my birth certificate (i said her that i have a translation, she said "give me it"), my police record, affidavit of support, 2 pictures 2" by 2", she remove my signature on the ds-156k, she asks me when i intent to go to usa because it was written the 01 of march of my form) , one of the enclosure the clinic gave me (the analysis not the xray radio), and ask me where i lived in the past, she checked on one of the form and said ok, it was all.
After that, i had the interview, he asked me some questions: how many time we saw each other, if i saw his family, how long..... ; i always forgot the meaning of the "how long", he called a lady for the translation, I talked to her, she didn't really translate to the man but shaked her head when i talked, she was nice: his principal question was when started our relationship and how we communicate, how we do to know each other; the man shake his head, for him it was too much fast (I met my fiance in september 2006!)-
They said me to sign the ds-156k.
the man watched the pictures my fiancé send on the I-129 petitions, he shaked his head, do a lot of things with his face, i asked me if i will be approved , i said the woman that i have more pictures, she didn't reply; I said it to the man, he didn't react.
And the interview finish, the man talk to me and gave me a pink paper with my passport, i asked him "it is ok?" he replied yes and had a "small" smile.
The woman translate to me what he said me (i really didn't listen, maybe she noted that) that i have to go back to my country and send my passport for the stamp (visa).
I asked her for the "sealed enveloppe for the port of entry" her chief said that i will receive it with my passport and gave me a french translation of the pink paper (your visa was approved).
I felt that like he wanted to told me "go out from here" when he gave me the translation
He nevers asked me for more proofs, phone calls, mails, e-mails - I had a big bag with proofs.
I arrived in my country the wednesday send the passport the same day and the day after (today) it arrived in the us embassy in Barbados;
It was stressing but they are ok and do their jobs.
Good luck to others

Hello Vj members,
I will do a short comment because my "interview" was really short.
A man approached me, i showed him all the files i had, i asked me to sit down.
After less than 10 minutes a man approached me with my passport telling 'all things are ok for you' and ask me the question: all things are ok, i replied yes. He repeated that one another time, i replied yes, and asked one another time:are you sure that all things are ok? I smiled and replied yes and he gave me my passport.
My bigger problem was that my flight had delays from my country and there are problems also with the baggage claim, so i missed my connexion for New York.
I slept on a hotel payed by the airlines company (after debating).
Good luck, at the port of entry they were very friendly.

*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.
