(Leaving this review based on the account of my spouse)
We originally received an appointment date for end of April, but contacted the consulate which gave us the opportunity to reschedule to a much earlier date via their online portal.
Here's what happened:
1. Went to first window to submit pass photo (only one required) and interview confirmation / barcode. They also requested passport.
2. Went to second window to hand in W2, tax transcript, marriage certificate, birth certificate and crime report.
3. Interview: Spouse said this was friendly, conducted in English. Questions included, "Does your spouse already live in the US?", "Were you or your spouse previous married?", "Do you or your spouse have children?", "How many people will you live with when you move to the US?"
All in all, it was very quick and they said the passport would be available for pickup within 14 days. The pickup is at a separate location that maintains regular Mon-Fri business hours.

Edtab on 2023-01-06 said:Hi, I saw you are living abroad too, my wife and I are living abroad since 2011 and she’s petitioning for me, may I ask you what you use as a US domicile proof? Is it a drivers license and bank statement or vote registration enough to proof? We just got a FE from NVC asking for her US domicile . Thanks !
Hi Edtab, I was living abroad at the time I filed but during Summer 2021 I moved over to the US alone to start working a job in anticipation of needing to fulfill the income and domicile requirements. So unfortunately I can't really speak to proving domicile. :( But I heard that those things will help. Good luck!

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
** Not all cases are transfered
