Hey Guys!! Had our interview today and approved!! Thought Id write a review to help others along the way!
I live (atm) in Adelaide so flew into Sydney Monday afternoon to make sure nothing went wrong stayed at Travelodge Martin Place which was ehhh mainly because they buggered up our booking but had a bed so thats the main thing 
Our appointment was at 10:20 so about 9:30 i wondered around to the building (dead easy to find!) and grabbed a coffee in the arcade underneath to kill a bit of time.
At 10am i entered the MLC building and went up to the 10th floor. Now this is where i buggered up i knew we couldn't take laptops in so never brought it to Sydney with me but what i didn't know was the you CANNOT BRING iPads, any phone charger, anything with a battery or anything with a microchip.

Some tips to smooth the process leading up to your interview:
After NOA2, you're able to fill out your DS-160 at any stage.
Once you get your NVC number, get your medical and police check sorted. I actually was able to do my medical 2 months before receiving my NVC number, the panel physician was able to hold onto my medical results until I called back with that number SYD____ number.
Once the CEAC site says 'Ready', be proactive and email the consulate with the required information they need to book your interview. If you wait, you can potentially miss an interview spot, or they may take some days to contact you.
Before you reach out, complete and submit your DS-160, have medical and police certificates ready, and pay for your interview via the website.
I skipped receiving packet 3 & 4 and went straight to locking in an interview date that was only 7 days after my CEAC status had changed to 'Ready'.

The MLC building where the Sydney U.S consulate was easy to find, 5-10 minute walk away from Wynard railway station.
So before my interview I had some brekkie on the bottom levels of the building. They have a whole variety of restaurants/cafes where they have good food/coffee.
Made my way to level 10 and took out my packets, my wallet and clear water bottle, as well as switched off my phone, and my smart watch.
The security person will check that your devices are off before sending you inside to the desk. At the desk, the person asks for your passport and checklist, and reads out the checklist so you can hand the papers to them. They will compile it into a folder. They will also open up your sealed medical report if you have it on you.
I had to go photocopy my Japanese police check (lived there for a year), as it was in a sealed envelope addressed to the consulate so I wasn't allowed to open it. They gave me my compiled pa... read complete review

I arrived exactly 8:20am, my appointment time. Went through a bit of security, handing over necessary papers, quick process. I then waited into another room with other people where I sat for a good 30-40 mins. My ticket number was announced, so i went to the correct window to hand my papers to the officer. I was asked a few easy questions and that was it. Visa was approved! Was nervous all for nothing lol. He didnt even look through my folder of evidence of my relationship. I printed so much stuff too! 😊 He also said my visa will be shipped out to me in a week!
