Had my interview on Friday and it went well  came in about 40 minutes before my scheduled interview time but it was no problem.
I came in and waited, then after about 15-20 minuted I got called to the first window where my documents and passport were taken and I was only asked about previous marriages for me and my fiance (both never married). I gave the medical envelope and got the Xray cd back to be handed at my future POE. I was asked to wait until I get called for the consular interview.
The next wait was longer, about 45 minutes until I was called for the interview. I was asked to raise my right hand and swear that all the information I am about to provide is correct. I did get a few more questions than I had expected but those were relevant to our case and situation.
When the consul finished asking questions and typing everything in, she said everything looks good and I can take a seat again until I am called.
I was called again after about 15 minutes for biometrics. Then waited about 5 minutes and was called again to receive final information about arrival of the visa and entry to the US (6 months validy, 90 days to marry) and that was it
I will add that having visited the Tel Aviv branch last summer to receive my visitor visa, I was unable to bring my phone or bag in with me and had a friend wait for me outside until I was done. I did not see different information on this for Jerusalem and was pretty sure I'd need someone to keep my things again while inside the embassy. However, only after I went in did I realize I could have taken my bag with me and deposited my phone at the entrance. So just FYI for the next applicants.
Overall, it was a positive experience and I am waiting for my passport to return now!
