Interview passed!  I arrived about 10 minutes earlier then my scheduled time and waited about 15-20 minutes before being called back.  My adjudicator was training someone in, so he notified me prior to entering the room of that fact (and that it was no negative indication of my application).  Before sitting down, he had me swear an oath to tell the truth.  He then jumped right in to the written and spoken English test, which was just one sentence to read off the tablet and then using a stylus to type up a verbally provided sentence.  He asked me six questions, which I got all correct.  I had brought original copies of mine and my husband's birth certificates, marriage license and my passport; he only asked to see my Green Card.  He ran through a series of questions (any felonies, radical groups I may be a part of, ect); all easy "no" questions.  He spent some time asking me about out-of-country trips I had taken over the past three years and any tickets or citations I have ever had (I was upfront about one speeding citation).  He asked who I lived with, how long I had lived at my current address and whether I had any children anywhere in the world, either adopted or natural.  
Once it was all done, he had me verify my contact information on the screen, sign an acknowledgement that I would swear an oath before a judge for naturalization and then handed me a letter saying I had passed the interview and he was recommending my application for approval.  He let me know that I was now just needing to wait for a letter informing me of my Oath Ceremony date.

No problem! First of all, this is your packet 3 info: http://photos.state.gov/libraries/canada/303578/montreal/packet3-k1-mtl.pdf
Second of all, this thread has been one of great value for the NVC-interview booking numbers/wait times.

Now I'll list what I sent in with my packet 3:
- cover letter detailing everything included in the packet
- Form DS-230, Part 1 [i included the unfilled part 2 and then I had two supplemental sheets for questions that didn't have enough room]
- Form DS-156 [2 copies, and again I had two supplemental sheets]
- Form DS-156K [see note below regarding the fact that it says "please send in these forms"]
- Form DS-160 copy confirmation [you fill this out online]
- Packet 3 Checklist for K-1 Fiancee Visa Applicants [this is basically a list that says "please confirm that you have these things ready for your interview. I didn't actually have them all, but I know I'll get them before the interview time. I only signed it and entered the needed info; I didn't checkmark every thing]
- 2 color photographs
I had zero issues, everything was accepted.
- DS-230 can be filled out ahead of time, just don't date it
- make sure you sign and date any supplemental sheets you send it.
- DS-156 is filled out online and then printed out with a barcode. You could technically fill it out ahead of time and just not sign it. However, I recommend you simply print it out and write out your answers so it's quick to fill out the online form when you're ready to mail it out.
- DS-156 can be completed ahead of time. No signatures needed. It does list a whole bunch of things that you should mail in with it...only you don't have to. You will bring those with you to the interview. Just to be safe I included photocopies of my passport biographical page, police certificate, and birth certificate.
- DS-160 is filled out online. Wait till you're ready. I used this guide: http://www.***removed***/visas/ds-160-usa-visa-form-guide.html and simply created a WORD document with ready answers. Regarding a digital passport photo, I simply scanned the ones I was mailing in, and attached that.
- Packet 3 Checklist. You can get your case number as soon as your application is logged in to NVC. Courier service can be registered for ahead of time also. The instructions on how to do that are in the first link I provided.
I used an xpresspost envelope to mail it to the embassy; for me it was like $16. I consider it a good expense to make. Your packet (at least in Montreal) will sit in the mail room for a week. I received Packet 4 as an email.
If you guys have more questions, don't hesitate to ask on here or PM me. I am happy to help!

want a quicker processing time? get everything right the first time. (I'm not talking about K-1 vs CR-1, just individual processing times - otherwise it's just bad luck sorry)
people just want to complain because they think their wait, their relationship, their love is longer and involves more suffering than anybody else's case. there's a reason why I don't even read the threads that complain about the wait or even the ones about their foreign partner having committed visa fraud. Boo hoo.
I agree with what Evylin and whoever else's opinion coincides with his/hers. I also disagree with the OP. Besides, everybody would pay the expedite fee and we'll be back at square one.
