Smooth. Just 4-5 questions by the consular officer. The Indian pre-screener was much tougher, wanted to know everything. The consular officer did not even look at the wedding album. It was all over in just 2 minutes. Arrived at 12.00 at the Anna Saalai gate. Citizen spouse was not allowed in, so had to go alone. Paid the VFS courier fee. Sat in a room for about 1 hour before the Indian pre-screener called. He was very thorough, and asked about the W-2s. Luckily, after having read previous reviews here, I had brought them along. In addition, I had carried all calling records, Skype calling logs, some selected emails etc. But none of those were required.
After being done with the Indian pre-screener, waited another 1 hour, before the consular officer came over and asked a few general questions. When she asked me when did I see my spouse last, I told her my citizen spouse was waiting outside. She said "Visa approved!". I asked if I could pick up my Visa later that evening, but she said I could pick it up only the following day at the VFS office. I got it around 4.30pm the following day and everything looked ok.
Entered the US a couple of days back. Happy to be with my spouse at last!
