Admittedly, it's been a while since I got a K-1 visa, but the process hasn't changed all that much in this regard. I was asked about how we met, what she did, what sort of work I planned to do... stuff like that. It was completely anti-climactic and I wasn't asked any question to which I didn't already know the answer. There's no trick questions!

Hey Neilus, I'm not applying for K-1 but my appointment's tomorrow too!
Hope yours goes well. I'm getting the usual butterflies I get before job interviews/international travel/ etc.

When I was looking for info about the doctor's experience, I found this lady's blog. She was also applying the K-1 - admittedly this is from 2011, so it might have changed a little - hopefully it will help: Queen's English: The visa interview

Try searching this forum too - I was getting very nervous last week and found reading other people's experiences made me feel more at ease and remind me if I needed to bring anything.

I would hope they'd sub "fiance" for "spouse" for the relevant ones to them!

All those seem rather run-of-the-mill, which anyone in a genuine relationship should be able to answer easily. In fact I would even say that if you over-prepare with multisentence answers to questions such as "what does your spouse's mother and father do?" it might actually cause alarm bells to ring. ...... The interview isn't a trick, and the process isn't intended to thwart genuine relationships. Just relax, the process is nearly over, and if there is a spoke to be stuck in your wheel it certainly isn't going to come from not remembering whether your fiancé(e) has two brothers and three sisters or three brothers and two sisters.

The CO asked what my father in law's (co-sponsor) job was - neither my husband and I could answer specifically.
We know what company he works at and his vague field, but his job title or actual job description - eh.....

The CO was totally fine with that and remarked that many people our age can't explain their parents' jobs.
Sometimes they do know or talk about their own job and they go into such great detail, but they use so much jargon that she has no clue what the person does either!!

Exactly! It ain't mastermind. Just tell em what they want to hear, no more, no less.
I said once that by the time you get to the interview stage, it's virtually a formality. In typical internet fashion I got shot down on here, it's not a formality scoff scoff scoff. However, once you get to the interview stage, it's virtually a formality

Not by me you didn't. If there is a problem with your application 99 times, or more, out of 100, it will have already appeared during the processing of the paperwork and you won't even be at an interview.

I suggest, instead, that people tell the truth - because telling "... em what they want to hear..." simply isn't the same thing. That's probably what you meant, but that's not what you actually wrote.

Congratulations! ..... I'm guessing none of the questions were unduly challenging?

BTW Bonus points for using "got", you'll settle in just fine in the US.
