So, we arrived an hour early and just sat around in the main lobby on ground floor when we decided to go up about thirty minutes before the interview. We went through security on Floor 10 (have your cell phone off), and then up to floor 59 in about three seconds. We walked in an took a number. We were called to the first part where a pretty grumpy lady sat and wasn't helpful at all (I had emailed a couple times and was told that my questions would get answered at the consulate). I asked her in the simplest way possible and this woman only seemed to want to give me attitude, because she couldn't understand what I was saying. She FINALLY helped me out, and pretty much made me feel stupid, because the US government doesn't know how to be helpful in such a horrible process (really the K-1 I absolutely ridiculous).
After about an hour of waiting we were then called to another window where a very cheerful lady asked my partner a few simple questions, and voila! The vis... read complete review

we got approved and were only in the consulate for about 30 minutes,they were all very friendly and there was no need for all the stress,if you are honest and genuinely in love you will be fine..
the rest of our journey begins in about a week once my passport arrives in Perth

Appointment was at 8 am , lifts do not open until 7.30 am. Toilets are on level 7 if you are really nervous like I was lol.
Get off at level 10, if the door to the embassy is closed, then take a seat and wait, they call out when its open.
Go through security, then at the next desk you can check in your bag, then they will have you line up. When called go to the counter where they sort out your paperwork. Once done, take a seat and wait for the security guard to call you up to get in the lift.
Once you get to the embassy floor you have to report to security again, they then buzz you into the room of doom (interview area). You have to show your passport at all security checks so keep it handy.
Once inside the processing/interview room, take a ticket from the machine for visas and sit down in the middle .
They call you up pretty quickly and sort through your paperwork, they ask questions about the paperwork if... read complete review

Having previously gone through a US visa process for a working visa there were no major surprises with security lines and wait times.
The girls after security shuffled my papers and took out a couple of extra pages then straight upstairs to a line for a quick intermediate interview. Once through that I sat down in the seating area until I was called to Window 1, which had screens around it (the other windows are quite open and you can hear all the other interviews happening from where you're are sitting, but they seemed to be exclusively for work/travel visas).
The woman interviewing me was really lovely. I think she asked about 3 questions, How did we meet, where do we plan on living, will I continue to work for the same company etc. Then she handed me a piece of paper regarding domestic abuse and smiled and said congratulations, you're approved. All up I spent more time in lines or waiting than being interviewed.
