We arrived, cannot take a cellphone or any other electronic device in. Must pass through metal detectors. Then you stand in one line only to be directed to where to sit on the outside benches. Eventually you enter a building and given a number to stand at a window. The person ask questions and looks at some documents, you get a brochure on domestic violence. You are given another number and told to have a seat in the front. Basically the experience is similar when you go to a Social Security office in the US, you are given a number and then you wait to be called. We had to wait almost 1-2 hours before we saw the interviewer. He was very nice. I had a photo album with me with all documents and photos that I spent months preparing but the interviewer did not want to look at it. I felt like I had to beg to show him. We were approved on the spot and left the embassy.
I drove from the place we stayed (BnB house-close to embassy). Directions were easy to follow. There still was a lot of traffic getting there at 7 am in the morning. Finding Parking was not as easy, however people are on motorcycles directing you to parking which was very helpful. There is no parking at the Embassy directly, but many lots that do not charge much (250-600 pesos) within walking distance. The embassy is in a nicer area of Santo Domingo but it still has a lot of people.
