The interview took place at the US Embassy, Moscow. All my papers were in order, so submitting paperwork was quick and easy. The interview itself took 15 minutes at the most and was easy and fun, I wasn't even nervous. But there was a rather long queue, so, between submitting the paperwork and the interview itself, I had to wait for some time.
The consul who was interviewing me was an absolutely charming gentleman. He was smiling at me kindly the whole time and was extremely friendly and not intimidating at all. At first he addressed me in Russian, but after the formalities (oath, fingerprints, etc.) were over, he switched to English. He asked very few questions (about my English, about wedding date, about how I met my fiance). Then he said, "Congratulations, your visa is approved," and that was it. He didn't even look at the evidence of our relationship that I had with me, because my fiance had sent tons of it when he had submitted our I-129F petition.
Overall, apart from waiting and going through endess levels of security, it was a rather pleasant experience.
Advice: make sure your hands are nice and warm (and dry) before the interview. Otherwise, taking fingerprints might be a bit troublesome.
