Fiancee had her interview today.
Got there around 7, there were a few others already waiting.
Got let in around 7:30. Guard almost forgot to give us our letter, but we ended up with C.
Was called up for docs fairly soon, wasn't asked for proof of domicile, and they only kept my 2009 tax return for proof of support (also had 2007&2008), they didn't want my employer letter or bank statements.
Went to pay at 14A, skipped the "B" line, helped another K1 couple skip the "B" line (B liners were trying to convince them to wait in their long line)
She had to fill out part 2 of DS-230 (PKT said only fill out part I) but it wasn't a big deal.
Got called for interview around 9am. They told us they were having computer trouble and had to wait for our information to appear in some other system but would do the interview first.
Interview itself was fine, finance misinterpreted one of the questions so I jumped in and corrected her. Interviewer asked me when I moved to the US. Was asked to "wait a few minutes" for info to appear in other system.
Few minutes turned out to be a few hours, and around 12:30, we were called back up to booth 10 again. Apparently she filled out a few things incorrectly on the online form (they had her listed as male?!@) but they corrected them w/o any issue. They also asked if we had the DS160 detailed printout at this time. We only had the barcode confirmation page but it didn't seem to matter.
At 12:45 we got called back into the interview room and told us we were all set and should have the package next week.

Crossed at the Ambassador Bridge today (Monday) around 2PM. I (US citizen) crossed with my fiancee with all her stuff in my car.
The guy at the booth asked us a couple questions and gave us our orange paper that said "I-94 K1" on it and we proceeded to secondary.
Gave up my keys and left all electornics in the car and proceeded inside. There was a 15-20min wait before we could talk to an officier.
When it was our turn the officier was very nice and took our passports and sealed envelope. Then he did some stuff on the computer for 5-10min and then called my fiancee up for fingerprinting and a photo. Then we waited another 5-10min and we were done.
She got her I-94 (which was filled out correctly) and we were off! They did charge us $6, and you don't need exact change if you were wondering.
They didn't ask us what we were bringing in and I'm not even sure they looked in my car. She didn't have much stuff though.

*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.
