I was super nervous - for absolutely no reason!
The interview was a breeze!  I was in and out in right at an hour, and everybody at the consulate was very nice and friendly!
I had my appointment at 9:15 am and arrived at the gate right at 9 am. There was quite a long line for the non-immigrant visas, but I could skip right by it and go straight to the security check point. 
In the consulate we (my fiancé and I) started the process at window 22. My passport and fingerprints were taken, then I was told to sit down and wait for my number to be called.
We sat down for maybe 5-7 minutes when I was called up to the next window (in my case window 20). There, another officer went over my submitted documents and gave me a flyer about domestic violence. (I handed that to my fiancé and told him he might need it down the road :P haha)
We then had to wait for maybe 10 minutes when my name was called again (window 17), this time for the actual interview. The interview was sooo super quick! I didn't even last full 5 minutes.
The only questions asked:
-How and when did you meet?
-What does your fiancé do for a living?
-Are you going to live in South Carolina?
-When do you intend to travel to the US? (ASAP!!)
That was it!! Maybe he didn't asked anymore questions because my fiancé was right there by my side and that was proof enough for him?
I brought so much evidence with me to the consulate (photos, Skype call logs, phone records, boarding passes, cards and letters, ...), and they did NOT want to see a single thing.
Even though I could have just brought my passport and nothing else, I am still glad I had all those things with me. It just made me feel very prepared and gave me a little boost of self-confidence.
The officer told us that we were approved and that we should get the visa in the mail in about 7 days, that was already it! It all went so super quick, I still can't quite believe it. haha
(I also asked about picking up my visa package the next day, but unfortunately that is not/no longer possible.)
