My fiance and I had a very pleasant experience for our K1 visa interview. We scheduled our interview online and arrived about 15 minutes early. They were very behind - we waited about an hour for our interview, but from there it moved quickly. I was allowed to accompany my fiance during the interview which was great - we both answered questions. We first interviewed with one officer, who was very friendly. We had all of our documents prepared and ready which was appreciated and made things go smoothly. After asking basic questions and getting all of the documents, he had us go sit back down and about 10 minutes later we met with a second officer, who asked us a few more questions before letting us know we were APPROVED! 
USCIS was having problems printing visas so we didn't get our package until the following week, but that worked out fine as we booked our tickets for two weeks after the interview and you could track the visa package and its arrival. The only big thing to note - when the package arrives it notes DO NOT OPEN / DO NOT TAMPER. Well, I freaked out because ours had a big cut in the corner - literally like scissors that sliced it open. We both freaked out and called the embassy, who said we would have to get it re-sealed. We learned later however that all the packages come with a corner cut on them and that is normal. Strange to me, but just a heads up so no one else has the panic attack we did! Overall a good experience and a very big moment in our lives!
