My appointment was at 9.30am so I went to the embassy at 8.45 after reading loads of reviews from others saying to go early. MISTAKE! Maybe it's only in Tokyo, but they wouldn't let me in. They only admit people 15 minutes early and told me to come back at 9.15.
I come back at 9.20 and went through the usual procedures for security to gain entry to the processing area.
The receptionist at the entrance of the processing area needed to see my interview letter and ID. She gave me a paper which listed the documents required and the order in which to organise them.
1. 2 colour photos with your name written on the back of each
2. Current passport (I also took my old with my maiden name which they also looked at)
3. I-864 Affidavit of Support
4. Police certificate(s)
5. Court and prison records, military record if applicable
6. Medical examination
7. Self addressed LetterPack
She then told me to ... read complete review

I was extremely nervous for my emergency interview.
The person who collected my documents and the officer who took my fingerprints were nice. One of them even greeted me in Portuguese (my native language) which was nice.
The interviewer officer was okay, she asked very simple questions such as:
Have you lived in any other countries?
How did you meet?
How was the proposal?
Have you ever been to the US?
What is the reason for your emergency interview?
Then she said she was giving my passport back because they "couldn't issue K visas". I was very confused. She said I would have to mail my passport when they started resuming services. I tried asking more questions but all she kept saying was that they just couldn't.
I always knew I would be very nervous and it wasn't going to be a pleasant experience but that day was terrible. I was so upset when I left I could barely explain what had just happened to my fiancé on the ph... read complete review

I got in the embassy 8:30AM and went through the airport type security check. Got myself a number from the kiosk and arranged documents according to what was written on the paper given. Handed out documents for checking. Was seated and waited to be called till 0945 got fingerprints taken. 0955H was interviewed by the consul and was asked the following:

My spouse was in and out in about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Most of that was waiting. The interview itself was only 5 minutes. Things we learned:
1) Lots of confusing info on what to bring U.S. state website and embassy websites don't agree. Even the embassy would send emails telling us to bring certain documents and we'd call to clarify, and they'd say we didn't need to bring them. All we actually needed was:
Police Certificate
Her Japanese Passport
2 Pictures
Original Marriage Certificate
Self addressed Letter Pack Plus (don't get the Letter Pack Light version!!!)
Medical report was transmitted electronically from the Dr - so she didn't even need that.
That stated, she took everything (I-130, I-864, all of it). Given the importance, it's just paper and easier to have it in case.
2) It'll take 2 weeks to get your passport back while they apply the visa.
3) Interview questions are p... read complete review

This is second hand information. Butttttt this is what I was told.
Check in was super easy.
They offered an interview in English or Japanese. My wife asked for Japanese. But her interview ended up being in English. She said the man was really nice but talked really fast. She said he seemed distracted and kept talking to someone else in the room(?). He only asked a few questions; how/where we met, when we met, etc. Nothing to difficult. The interview took 5-10 minutes. So the wait was longer than the interview.
The CO asked for my wife's Japanese & Chinese police certs, her birth certificate, and something else. (I forget what). He took her passport and a few days she got it back with the visa.
Overall she was quite happy with the experience.
