Yes, my wife just had interview in March 15th. 

Go here and you can read all the reviews http://www.visajourney.com/reviews/index.php?cnty=India&cty=&dfilter=5. I post mine there too

Only my wife went to interview (This review is based on my wife experience at the consulate and her interview)

She got there around 6:30 AM and there was already a lot of people standing outside. At 7:00 AM, they start calling the immigrant visa applicants to make a queue and they were calling by your interview time. No phones or big bags are allowed in the consulate. While you waiting in the queue, they tell you to take your passport and interview letter out and then you get in the consulate and you go through the securtiy check in and you put everything through the scanners and they pat you down. 

After that, they tell you have a seat and then they will call you inside and ask if you are from South India or North India and they have separate counters for South India folks and for North India folk. Since my wife is from Kerala, she went to south India counter. While you are wait, they will tell you to arrange your documents: Interview letter, DS 260 stamped from biometric, Birth Certificate - original and copy, Marriage Certificate - original and copy, Police Clearance Certificate original, Passport and Medical Report. Then you go to the counter and India personnel is there and ask which language you prefer. She told them she is okay with English and then he ask some question like Who calling you? and How long you were married together. He also asked if you file 2017 taxes, she said no she did not have it because we did not file it yet. He said thats okay and then he gave back all the documents that was sent to USCIS and NVC and only kept what he needed. He then gave her the Pamphlet about rights to read and he gave token number to her.

After 30 minutes, an American guy called her token number and she went to the counter. He greet her with Hi, Good Morning and ask How are you? She replied back with Good Morning and fine. Then her fingerprints were taken and after that he start asking questions. He was friendly guy. Following question was asked:
Who Calling you?
Where did your husband born?
Husband's qualification and education
Her qualification
where does your husband work
How long your husband working there and where?
How did you guys meet?
When and how do we speak each other?
when was the last time you saw your husband?
Where did you went for Honeymoon?

After that, he waited a little and type something in system and then he said the magic words, "Your Visa is approved" and show me the printed saying visa is approved. My wife was happy and smiling so much and say thank you thank so much to the guy. Then he gave her the instructions to what is next and told her congrats and safe journey

PS: Did not ask any pictures or anything else

i would suggest 3 or 4 days before incase something got delayed. Also, book your appointment for medical right away when u get your interview date because i heard it is getting booked full so fast

This means there could be longer wait time for interview as all the cases from Delhi would be shifted to Mumbai. That sucks for everybody people travelling from and around Delhi have to come to Mumbai and everyone have to wait for interview date

Unfortunately, yes, I think this is already happening. I know that since K1 was moved to Mumbai only, others have had some trouble finding available appointments (and some have been really far out time-wise). I suggest checking for available appointments in the morning (India time)--that seems to be the best time to find any openings or newly released dates.
