i applied for the USA b2 visa and my appointment date was on the 23rd of July 9.30am at the us embassy here in Lagos Nigeria, i got to the embassy at around 8.30am, i did the necessary documents check and got in for the interview proper. my purpose of my trip was to visit a friend in Maryland and visit places of interest, my interview went thus:
VO: Good morning
Me: good morning sir
VO: passport please (slid it over to him)
VO: why are you going to the USA?
me: on vacation
VO: where are you going to in the states?

VO: i see you have a brother in Baltimore (looked through my application before asking)
ME: no, a friend
he tagged my passport and gave me a white slip to go pick up my visa in 3 days, which i did and i saw a 2 years approved visa.i thank God for his favor and i will say to people pray, prepare and be yourself and you will see its not a big deal.
observations:
they don't need to see your documents, they will only ask you if they don't see the confidence in your word. when in the hall don't involved in any chat with people just be relax.
documents with me was:
1. my savings bank statement
2. letter of approval of leave of absence
3. letter of introduction from my employer
4. identity card (don't hang it on, just put it in your pocket, that's shows you are trying to prove something, just be relaxed)
