I don't know if my experience will help anyone here as I do not have complete answers for questions but I wanted to share

I want to say this was my first time and I was very nervous but it is easier than you think if you look confident and sometimes your profile speaks more than you know .
No docs were asked .I was hardly there for 2 mins

I want to thank this group as I did go through a lot of experiences shared here and also prepared for mock independently and with a friend.
Tip: read through experiences here but have your own answers prepared and do not practice till last minute .Once you are inside forget everything and think of it as a normal interview.
Interviewers do not have a lot of time is what I noticed so keep your answers short
I wish all a very best with your visa.
