Easy.
Arrived early.
Security check similar to the airport.
Went upstairs and waited.
Once called in we swore to speak the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
We came in with all our paperwork, and all the previously filed forms, even though he didn't ask for 99% of what I brought/had to bring. We brought 3 photoalbums (last 5 years of visits/ wedding/ honeymoon and after)
He asked for my ID's
He asked me the list of odd questions (am i a terrorist/communist/polygamist, etc) I laughed as I answered all of them no.
He asked my wife about her job.
He wanted to see the latest pictures (honeymoon).
He congratulated me on my wedding and greencard.

Im approved !! WOOHOOOO
It was a very nice appointment.
The lady that helped me was very friendly, and helpful.
The consul was a great, kind and happy person.
I had a very pleasurable experience.
Thank you Consulate if you read this !
The lady collected the forms, and made me feel like everything was already approved.
The consul asked me to swear i filled it all out truthfully, and while looking through the package to assure completion,
he asked me how we met, where she lives, if i like it there, what she does for a living.
It felt like he was really interested, and it seemed to be more as a way to kill the silence while he verified completion,
than that he was trying to set me up, to find reasons to deny it or something.
So everyone : dont believe the ghoststories. If your situation is a legit relationship, and you have everything prepared and complete:
feel comfortable, be confident, you have nothing to hide, and they arent trying to make it hard on people that are for real.
A lot of people tried to make me feel like it was a 50/50 chance of a yes or no, but thats not true.
By law, public transportation is allowed to deny me access to their vehicles.
But when i have my ticket, and plan to take the bus to work, i dont worry that they might deny me.
Simply because i didnt do anything wrong, and i have a ticket, so im not a concern to the driver.
The same applies here.
Dont worry about getting denied. If you do get denied, then you can worry about it then, or better, you fix it.
But if you have everything well prepared and are legit, and for real, theres nothing to be worried about.

*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.
