Here is my experience of the US Embassy in Stockholm.
My appointment time was 08:30 but I arrived closer to 07:45, there are two lines one for US Citizens and Immigrant visa applications and another for all other visas. I stood in the Immigrant line (Yellow sign post) and was the only one there, the other line had approximately 20 - 30 people waiting.
I was there for just a few minutes before the security officer called me up and asked to see my passport through the glass, I was then instructed to turn around and show the bottom of of my shoes, and asked to turn off my mobile phone, which they stored for me at the security desk.
Once through security I was told to follow the yellow line on the floor to a small building where the visa interviews are conducted, inside a security guard asked me what kind of visa I was there for, I said K1 and he told me to go to window nr 7 to hand over my supporting documentation.
At the window a very nice lady took my details and started asking me for documents, she complimented me on well organised I was and said that it made her job much easier when people came prepared!
After she took my documents I sat down and waited about 10 - 15 minutes before I was called up for my interview, my interviewer was a very pleasant man who asked me to recite the oath on the window stating that I was telling the truth to the best of my knowledge and that nothing I was saying was fraudulent, he then asked me only four questions.
1) When was the last time you saw your fiance?
2) How did you meet your fiance?
3) When did you get engaged?
4) What are your weddings plans?
That was the whole interview! He told me I was approved and would receive my passport back with the visa within 10 days. I was so surprised that it was so easy, I had spent so much time remembering everything about my fiance that I could and was very nervous! But the whole experience was great, the staff were so kind and polite.
I really couldn't have imagined it would go so well!
