My interview was at 9am and arrived before 830.I waited outside a good half an hour before I went through security and was able to access building.
I was given a number and waited about an hour before I was seen by the first Inmigration officer.She was pleasant and efficient.Checked all my original documents and provided her with copies of requested documents.Also took my finger prints.
She also requested the notarized extension of our petition as it expired last month.I paid fees and was directed to the waiting area where I only waited another 15mins and I was then interview by a nice American lady who asked me to sign a document and then asked where we met and how my Fiancee proposed me and then told me that we were approved.
I was out with a big smile at 1045 
We are now waiting for the delivery and I will be on my way ...

Arrived at the US Embassy at around 9:30am (interview time was 10am and I was instructed to turn up 30 mins beofore hand), and followed the road work like signs directing Citizens and Visa Services. There was a short line of about 10-15 people at the start of the visa entrance. At the front of this line was a woman who worked for SMS (well, she had a reflective yellow vest with SMS on the back of it) who was checking appointment times. She checked my name off against a printed list, and directed me down to another woman wearing the same type of vest.
The second woman told me to place all metal items into a small plastic bag provided. My phone and ipod went into one bag, and everything else (including belt) went into another, because I would get that one back, but the phone/ipod would not be allowed in. Once I had my things bagged, she asked my appointment time, and then directed me into one of 4 or 5 lines divided by chains. I was in row D. I assumed it was done based on... read complete review

Very odd experience - I arrived at 8am (1 hour early) and after going through the completely dehumanising entry with non smiling officials, I then went to wait for my number to be called in the waiting area. My number was really high compared to the ones being called but don't be put off because the different visa types all have a different start number.
Waited about 30 mins for part 1 - showing documents & fingerprinting, then waited for number to be called again.
The actual interview was very quick indeed. Gave birth certificate and police form, he then went through the financial support information.
BE WARNED - They went ONLY on last year's tax return. They weren't interested in all the letters I had from his current employment (in local government) which clearly showed that he fulfilled their requirements. Had I not been selling my house at a profit (luckily I took the letter from my estate agent with me), they would have denied my visa!... read complete review

CONSULAR INTERVIEW
Waited for 30mins outside, but glad it didn't rain. Waited for an hour inside, then went to bank teller style window to give documents and verify some things. About two hours later was asked to the window where I was interviewed by a very officious person. She ended the interview with me swearing that everything I had said was true, and told me as soon as we got certain things in order I would get my visa.
