Base on my fiancee, Hiu Ha chan, when she was at the interview.
There were so many people upon arrival, Tuesday May 27. I arrived about 15 minutes before doors was open, I even had time for breakfast at McDonald. Before entering, each person was inspected for harmful materials, I was lucky enough to bypass because a security randomly told me I can enter. Upon entering, I was told to hand in any cellphones or any communications electronics. (Even my NDS was handed in.)
First to be in line, thanks to that security.. Even though my husband had everything neatly binded in folders, the officers told me to unbind everything. It was not a delightful sight because there were many papers that was about to separate. The first interview was with a cantonese officers. It was a she, she was not too friendly at first because of the binding in the folders.
She asked many questions: (seen below) All answers was answered in Cantonese.
What is your fiance name?
How old are you and your fiance?
Have you met his parents?
What is your grandfather and mother names?
How many times has your fiance seen you?
How did you two met?
Does your fiance have any siblings and have you met them?
Have your fiance met your parents?
How come you don't have other months for MSN messenger?
After that, I had to interview with a English lady. I asked for translation before my English was very poor. Although I didn't want to attempt to answer in English, I was told I had to try without translation.
After looking at our pictures of proof, she told me I was very cute and nice. We both laughed. And I said "Thank you" in English. Haha
What is your name and your fiance?
What does your fiance do for a living?
She checked my I-134. She said your fiance has a house already, and complimented my fiance as smart and professional. We talked about buying house at his early age and how hard it is because of the economy and his age.
Continuing...
She told me to pledge and that was it. I passed my interview.
I paid my $25 HKD and they told me I will receive the visas/passport in about 3-5 days. I was so happy.

*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.
