My interview was quick and easy.
The US Embassy in Tokyo has a photo vending machine (if you're having trouble finding a place to make the size of pictures needed, drink vending machines and restrooms.
Once inside, I took a number and a very nice Japanese clerk asked my name. Then you pay the fee of $131 or the equivalent in yen. I paid in US dollars.
The first time my number was called, I turned in all my documents. Then the clerk asked me to sign the DS-156. The Japanese clerk took care of everything else.
The second time my number was called, was to take my finger prints; left 4 fingers, then right and both thumbs. It took about 2 minutes or so. An American lady with her nose pierced did this part and she was also very nice.
The third time my number was called was for the interview. My interviewer was an African American male. He asked:
How did you meet her?
How long have you know... read complete review

Arrived 30 minutes early; was 2nd in line.
Japanese staff and US Immigration Officer were very polite and friendly. Only maybe 30 minutes and USCIS Officer joked to me. I could relax.

My appointment was 10:00 and I arrived there around 9:20.
As soon as I entered the building after getting through the security, I payed $100 and took a number. I was called three times: First, I handed in all of the documents I brought right after I took the number, second for the biometrics before 10:00 I guess, and third for the interview around 11:20. The officer asked me several questions how I met my him, when the last time I saw him was, if I have been to where he lives in the US, then how many times, and other related minor things like my hobby and third language skill since we met neither in the US nor in Japan. Everyone was very nice with smile, and the interview was smooth and nothing to be worried about! Mine was in English but I saw a couple of people taking in simple Japanese.
When I got out of the embassy, it was 11:45 and found myself very hungry and full of relief.
The visa arrived 2 days later! Hope my review he... read complete review

Fiance's interview was very simple. Asked where we met and what our plans were when she comes to the US. Sent her on her way and the Visa was received within a week. Embassy is also VERY fast at processing stuff. Best of luck to anyone filing in Japan.

Just filed the I-130 at Tokyo. Showed up at 1:15pm for the appointment at 2pm, and was about 8th in line. As 2pm rolled around, the line got really long; maybe 30 or so couples.
At 2pm, the people started to file in. You gotta go through some airport-style security. They give you a little basket to leave your cell and mp3 player in and you retrieve it on the way out.
You walk through security, then outside and up to the building itself. You go in and a nice guy will ask you your name and to select your type of visa on his little computer. You'll get a number and a checklist. You sit down and wait to be called. We got called in about 40 minutes.
A word to the wise: there is a photo booth there. You do not need to get pictures taken elsewhere, just do it while you wait for your number to be called. Its 1000 yen per person.
So, you go up to the counter and a nice Japanese woman checks to make sure all your things are in order. S... read complete review
