All in all everything went really smoothly. The whole thing took about two hours and my wife had to wait in the car. The woman that I spoke with for the interview was very friendly. She asked a lot of general questions about our relationship (where does my wife live, how long have we been together, what do we both do for work) and about where we're planning to live in the US. We really front loaded our application with a lot of documentation about our relationship and my wife still has a car, bank account, insurance and voters registration which we included as proof of domicile along with a letter from her explaining her move to Israel and a statement from her mom that we're going to live there for a while after we move so we had a pretty solid case.
If you bring your phone or any electronics that aren't allowed, the consulate has a small storage area next to security where you can keep them. I definitely recommend bringing a book or newspaper because 90% of the time yo... read complete review

I had to wait over 3 hours past my scheduled interview time. Eventually my name was called, and I walked towards the consular officer who seemed nice compared to the rude receptionist in the front. I was asked casual questions regarding the workplace of my spouse, and how we met. At the end, he congratulated me on my visa approval, and told me to wait for another officer to explain to me the next following steps.

Very friendly, and welcoming for the interview. No point to come early because you will wait anyway. Leah came a bit early, and waited for an hour.
The first step is that you meet a representative and going over the documents that they already have, and the documents that you have brought with you (we brought a pack of supporting information as well as a recent tax return) -- *originals* of everything. This stage is important if you want to submit additional documents that they don't have yet.
The actual interview was short. They were mostly interested in how we met, how many meetings we had before getting married, etc. Interpreters are available if you need it. Everything went pretty smoothly -- the officer was courteous -- but Leah needed to submit a few additional documents, which we did, delivering them by hand since Israli post has become a bit unreliable (we actually tried them and they failed to deliver, instead delivering a pick-up notice!)

My CR-1 visa interview was conducted at the Jerusalem consulate.
It took forever for the consular officer to call me for the interview, was waiting patiently for over 5 hours (arrived there at 10 AM). Finally my name was called forth, and I was interviewed. The officer seemed pretty friendly, asking me questions about my spouse's job, and when our first meeting was... mid way through the interview, he assured me that I'd be approved, and told me to wait for instructions regarding the next steps. At the end of the interview, I was told that I should expect my visa in the next following days and so it was.

My Fiance had a good experience at the embassy. The staff was friendly and mainly asked him questions about how we met and details about our marriage plans. The only issue was that his Police certificate had not yet arrived at the embassy (he sent ordered the police certificate 20 days prior to the appointment). They approved the visa and took his passport, however, they cannot begin to process the visa until they receive the police certificate.
