I was there at 6 am, first in line and all my papers in the exact order the requirement list puts them. Make sure you have them stacked in a way that you can easily maneuver with them, you have to reorganize them inside.
The first Embassy official was extremely helpful, funny and a total delight. She asked me a few questions about myself, my life and my relationship while she reorganized the documentation.
The CO was also very helpful, asked clear questions, was very polite and patient. I was missing a document that I hadn't known how to procure and she explained to me very clearly how to go about it.
I was in and out in 2h.

The other reviews on here were VERY helpful. I will try to not duplicate anything but point out new information that will be helpful.
We arrived at the embassy around 6:00 AM for our 7:00 appointment. This was the time when they started opening up the overall line and splitting into the four different lines. We walked directly to line 3 (THANK YOU VISA JOURNEY!) and we were the very first ones in line 3 and the very first ones they processed through. IMPORTANT ITEM: The entire interview process happens outside; you will be standing outside talking through glass windows to folks sitting inside. There is cover in case it rains and there is a Coffee Stand (Cafe Iguana) and a Crepes & Waffles but I wasn't expecting to be outside the whole time. As others stated, they gave us the laminated page with the order of the documents they wanted. IMPORTANT ITEM: DS-230 was NOT listed on that sheet, but at the window, the lady asked us for the first two pages of the DS-230 and ... read complete review

Hmmm where do I begin?
We woke up around 3AM could not sleep so we headed out the door around 4:15AM and arrived at the embassy around 4:30AM. Yes we were the first in line. Around 5:15AM another couple came but was there for a visitor’s visa to visit their kids (they were later denied along with dozens if not hundreds of others for visitor visas). It was very cold but not raining (yet) but when the sun came up it warmed up a little. The guard Policeman allowed us to the black containment belt (he will say don’t go past the black line but its like one of those movie retractable restrain belts) around 6:15AM a ladies voice came over the PA giving instructions on where to line up based on visa application. We were first inline for line 3 and second inline for window 29 because Milena read another review about making sure the paper work was right before you handed it in. Around 7:15 AM window 29 came to life (the last window to raise its shades) which made us numb... read complete review

It was fairly simple ...the stress is the way...My wife went to the window and they only ask her about three questions, MY NAME?, WHEN WE MARRIED?, WHERE I LIVE?...The only screw up now is the made a type error on her visa packet...her visa passport starts with AL and they typed AI.. now we are waiting for them to correct before DHL receives it !!!

My fiancee went for her interview and was approved for a K1 Fiancee VISA on Thursday 3/22/12. Unfortunately I couldn't be there with her because of work but she did fine without me...Two things that stood out to me about her story were that one Colombiana who was there after being denied the first time was denied again even though she had all the paperwork because she forgot to bring updated photos as proof of her ongoing relationship. My fiancee also said that several people were turned away due to arriving after 7:30am. My fiancee of course was there by 730am but ended up having to wait until 1130am to get interviewed. They made her pay an additional 25,000 pesos because the photo she'd placed on the DS156 was at the top instead of the bottom of the page. She had to go back to the internet cafe to print a new DS 156 and they helped her fill it out...She did note that they treated her well and were not mean about it...
