My fiancee's interview was 9/26/17. He wrote about his experience and I'm posting this for him.
"I went over my K1 papers and made sure that everything I needed was still in our K1 folder before I left.
I opened up Google Maps and typed in "MLC centre" as I started walking, which was a pretty short walk from the hotel I was staying at. I got to the MLC Centre and asked someone at the security desk how to get to my interview. They ended up telling me to go to level 10. I wasn't very familiar with where I was going inside the MLC centre. I went on the elevator and pressed level 10. I sent a quick message to my fiancee to let her know I made it and shut my phone off since you're not allowed to have it on.
I walked in the door and waited in line as I watched everyone else do what they had to do. I realized what I was going to be doing myself as I watched others. After I waited for a bit, it was my turn to go to a desk with two women that asked f... read complete review

I had my interview at the US Consulate in Sydney on Tuesday, 26 SEP 2017 at 08:50 am.
I arrived 20 mins early after rushing to get a pre-paid envelope from a nearby post office, only to find that this was not needed. I arrived a little flustered and took a few deep breaths as I tried to navigate my way around the building - you can only access level 10 from one half of the lifts so be sure to check you are in the right place. The buttons for the levels are on a touch screen are just outside the lift area as you walk up to the lifts, not directly in front where they would normally be.
Once you get up to level 10 you are directed by security into the reception area where you will leave your bags before heading to the interview room. You will walk up to the front desk and hand in your passport and other documents for them to check over (briefly), and then you will be guided through the security check similar to an airport. You need to leave any electronic de... read complete review

A reasonably straight forward experience. I found most reviews of people's experiences to be valid and accurate. Reading through them in order to have an awareness of the consulate environment and processes was very helpful.

The process was just as described by everyone else pretty much. My SO waited at the elevators until they opened them up at 7:45am. He was done by 9am. We didn't hear what we were hoping to hear, but that's not the consulate's fault. Everyone was nice and the questions were normal, nothing intense. Just our issue that we knew could be a problem, and it was. We're working on that though. Sydney is nice. Oh! My SO flew in late and stayed at the Travelodge on St Phillips - the only food he could get was a McDonald's down by a big Apple store about a 5 min walk away (past the MLC, off King st). So get food at the airport if you fly in late (or like Mickey D's)!

The consulate runs sort of like DMV etc, once you have passed through security etc on the 10th floor you head up in the elevator to the consulate . You walk into the consulate up to a ticket machine push the visa button and get a numbered ticket. The interviews are done at windows standing in front of everyone else waiting their turn. Everyone can listen to the interviews of those that go before them . My interview was straight forward with simple questions . My fiance had accidentally sent me the wrong affidavit Form so I had to organise him to send the right one. The staff were friendly , the process was simple. Not what I expected but still quick and painless .
