I have to say that I was very nervous at the prospect of the interview... I had prepared everything in two examples and was ready to answer any kind of questions, even the most personal... But in the end it all went very well!! 
I was called to a window and there a nice french lady started to ask me forms, passport pictures and other evidence of support. My fiancé had sent me a lot of things so she gave me back almost half of the papers! We went through all the forms, she asked me if me or my fiancé had been married, had kids. Then she took my fingerprints and asked if I had more paperwork to submit. I was about to say: emails, pictures, wedding registry... and she said I don't want that, it's all for the consul. Then she told me to go back to a seat and that the consul would call me at another window...
I waited a little while and got called at another window by an american woman this time. She asked me whether I wanted to talk in English ... read complete review

My appointment was at 1pm and I was out by 4:15 pm.
My visa interview lasted for 5 mins total. 1st, someone took my appointment letter. Then, someone reviewed all the documents we had submitted to the NVC asking a few questions there and there. Then, my interviewer asked where was I going to live in the USA, where was my husband right now (he was with me) she said "how convenient!" and then she said "Congratulations, you'll receive your visa in the next 7 days".
That was it. Fast and efficient. The only bad thing was the wait. We waited for 3 hours.

it all went very well, pretty quick. i was scheduled at 1pm. and i believe that 15 minutes later, i was on the 1st window, to give all my papers. 5 minutes after i was called again at the 2nd window, i was asked regular questions: "where we had met", "what was he doing", "how old we were". pretty brief. the lady was very nice, with humour. unfortunately for me, i was missing 2 papers, but she explained to me that it was no big deal, i didnt need to come back to paris, just send them as soon as i'd have them (otherwise i would have had my visa right away!!!). she answered my questions. she told me to go back to my seat. finally another 5 minutes later, i was called again at a 3rd window, she gave me some paper to send along with my missing papers, and that i'll get my visa when they received those papers. congratulations, smiles. very nice. i was out of the consulate at 2 pm!!  but without my visa due to my missing papers (which were 1: a spanish police record, for... read complete review

All in all, a very good experience. Getting information BEFORE filing the I-130 can be hard because they no longer have time to consecrate to questions from petitioners but, in fact, if you go in with all your paperwork, and if you have tried to fill in the forms correctly, they do try to help you at the window. I spent ages on my I-130 before going and the woman interviewing us just corrected it as the interview went along and it was no big deal! The I-864 interview was much easier.
Understanding what to do once you arrive at the Embassy is easy enough... Just read the instructions they give you.
I read here somewhere that someone was sent out into the street to find a Chronopost envelope because they had the wrong size...??? I found that odd because there is a Chronopost vending machine IN the Embassy in the lobby by the soda machines, so...

we were missing 2 papers  his employer's letter and my spanish police record. but i was scheduled at 1pm at the ambassy, and one hour after i was out!! it went very quickly, very smoothly. the officer was really sympathetic.
now we're just waiting for the last paper to arrive in the mail!!! it's taking so long 
but we've been told otherwise we would get the visa quickly....ouf!
