Once you get by the embassy you sit by the area with the benches (it has a roof over it now) where the taxis and other people are and wait till they start calling people based on their appointment times (eg. 7:30- 8:00).They then separate people into two lines (green card or immigrant and the non-immigrant visas) the K1 visa is classed as immigrant. It was a 5 hour long process (I had a 7:30 appointment as did everyone else) and there were like 10 people there.
First they called my name (I had to listen carefully because it sounded muffled) and I gave the person the appointment "letter". Then I sat down and waited till I was called again and this time they double checked info and took my documents (the ones on the list) and payment receipt. (She asked if my fiance was with me so I guess that's allowed and might help.) Then I sat down again. Then listened for my name again, this time it's the consular officer and I heard her more clearly. The downside is that those waiting can also hear some of the interview. The officer asked me the usual questions such as "how did you meet?," but also asked me about my career aspirations once I get over to the USA. The interview only lasted a few minutes and I wasn't even asked to show any pictures or chat logs. But it depends on the case so bring them anyway.
This was the easiest part of the process, just requires some patience.
