Straightforward, my appointment was for 9:15, I went in early(7:45) and was asked to come back at 8:45, which was ok, there are some comfy lounge chairs just outside the security entrance you can relax on.
When I went back they screen, keep your phone, laptop and all cords etc, then you hand your paperwork to one of the ladies who sort through and take what They feel you need and put together a 'package' for you to hand in... They actually missed one piece of paperwork and later I was called back to provide, but was not an issue.
You go up to 59th floor, take a 'visa' ticket, wait for your number to be called. There were about 10 people in there, but they were getting through them quite quickly. I was called up to first window, all my papers taken by a Very friendly lady CSO and then back to wait for interview.
Interview went well... How did you meet? (I covered all aspects so he didn't need to ask any further questions 8-) ) Then he said Ap... read complete review

Very smooth interview process. The consular official was pleasant and asked a few general questions. We failed to provide an original of one document so we're given a yellow 221(g) and told we could re-complete the form and return it by mail. We did just that and received notice that the K-1 had been approved exactly 14 (agonizing) days later. Total interview time was less than 15 minutes.

My appointment was for 8:30, I realised a week or so out that my flight (earliest flight to Sydney from Brisbane in the morning) wouldn't be landing until 8:05 local time, due to daylight savings. I emailed the consulate and asked if I could have a later appointment time, or just show up and wait, but that I would be late. They said they would let security know I'd be delayed that morning. And I was! Due to traffic, I arrived at about 9:30.
This turned out to be fortuitous as I'd been dreading having an "audience", knowing I had a complex and very personal interview ahead. Luckily, I had only one other waiting behind me so that really helped my nerves. All the staff were friendly and efficient. It helped that I had a folder with tabs, so I could access everything I needed without shuffling or fumbling. I highly recommend this.
The questions I remember were:
"When did you meet?"
"How did you meet?"
"Do you have mutual friends?"
