Interview was scheduled for 8:30. Arrived at consulate shortly before 8:00. Long line already present. Was directed to Window 1 where they processed my passport and handed me a number. Waited in security line for about 20 minutes. Security was thorough but quick. They collected phones, smartwatches, headphones and the like and handed out receipts for them.
After security, I was instructed to proceed across the courtyard to the next building and take a seat in front of windows 15-21. When my number was called first, it was ... read complete review

Let's start by saying it's easy to reach. I went by car, but I saw there's a metro/train station very close by. Parking was a bit more iffy for me as a foreigner (Dutch) as the parking meter didn't accept my cards and the other services/apps wouldn't work on my phone either. So I had to pray I wouldn't get towed. My fiancé mentioned there's a fenced parking area too, but I parked on the side of the street.
You first go through security after getting your number from the check in desk. This is easy, they're nice. If you have a phone, you can leave it there and you get a receipt or something. I left mine in the car because I didn't know. You then walk to a different building and walk to the back of it for the immigrant visas. Very smooth and simple!
For the whole process, you first get called to a check-in desk. We had 3 check-in desks open and 1 interview desks. It took me about an hour to get called to the check-in desk. You give them your documents, do y... read complete review

My appointment was at 8.30, and was instructed to arrive 15 minutes before that time. When I arrived there was already a long line.
There are 2 Windows, and the line moves fast. At either window 1 or 2 you'll be asked for your passport and confirmation page of DS-160, mine was a black and white print and this was fine. They put a sticker or label on your passport with your info on it and a number, which will be called when you are wating in the bigger hall. Check if they put the right label on it before you leave the window (they accidentally switched 2 for other applicants, which was quickly resolved though).
After that you go stand back in line and wait again. We were let in 5 at the time. Inside there is a small area, where you get instructions to put everything you brought with you in a bin, empty pockets, remove belts, etc.
I only brought to transparent folders with all my documents in it, I did have to remove my belt.
I did see all kind of binders,... read complete review

Review provided by fiance:
My appointment was at 8.30 - i arrived at around 8.10 and the line was already packed. Friendly staff / officer instructed me which line to stand in after congratulating me on the interview. I went to the check in at the front and handed my passport in - i received my number and a sticker on my passport. I was then instructed to join the line for security.
Even though the embassy says you cant bring electronic devices, several people in front had phones and smartwatches etc. they were instructed to turn and keep them off during their stay. After passing through security i was told to follow the green lines on the floor and entered the next building. K1 / Immigrant visas are instructed to take a seat in front of booths 15-21.
After about 30 mins of waiting i was called up to the counter - Its go time! Or so i thought - this was the documents side of things - i handed them my passport picture. They then requested the... read complete review

Staff is very friendly but strict. The immigration visa appointment took me about 2h. I was called to 2 separate counters. The first counter was about the documents. I needed the IRS tax return, they also took the most recent W-2, my birth certificate (OG and copy), police certificate (OG and copy), DS-160 (obviously). The second counter was the interview. They asked me when and how I and my fiancé met, what his occupation is, when I had last seen him, checked some photos and asked about them and then I was done. Took me all together about 2h and the experience was positive!
