First off, it is far less scary than you'd think.
My appointment was at 8.30, got there at 8.10 and queued up for the "All other services" line, got my number (e.g. W506). Security check, no big deal.
Once in the big hall with all the counters, you will be told where to wait for your number to be called out.
All in all I'd say it took about an hour for everything 'inside' that hall.
At the first counter I had to show passport, appointment letter and visa payment receipt. He gave me a checklist with all the things I should pre-prepare for the next step (Birth cert, divorce cert, marriage cert, police cert, affidavit of support and supporting documents).
At the second counter I gave the officer all the requested documents. He explained when and how I will probably receive my visa and asked no further questions.
At the third and last counter I had a short chat with one of the consuls. He asked when and how my fiancé and I met. He quickly asked what I was doing in my hometown right now and why I studied but stressed that that would not affect my visa application.
After approx. seven minutes he said I would probably be issued my visa in a few days!
All in all, everything went very smoothly. Everyone was very friendly. Fast and uncomplicated.
