The interview was great, the waiting was the worst part. I went with my fiance to the interview, because I happened to be in Brazil at the time. We got there around 7:00am, 45 minutes before the interview time. When we got into the embassy the gave us a list of all the paper and documents they needed. We got them together and turned them in. We waited for about 4 hours and then finally they called our number. They let me go in to the interview with him. They asked him how we met and what he plans on doing when he gets to America. She also asked me what I was planning on doing when I got back. She was very nice, and it took about 10 minutes and then she said congratulations we are approved. It was overall very easy, just the waiting around was killer!

Long wait, folks, long wait.
I arrived at the Rio Consulate around 7:20am, to find a queue of about 10 people in front of me. Nothing scary, really. A guy came, checked our names and, around 8:00am, we were in. We were then directed to the second floor where there was a guy handing over a list showing the order they wanted the docs to be hand over, and there was when the long wait began 
Apparently they do call in first the ones with incomplete paper work or missing information. As I’m a proud doc-assembler, my case was in order, nothing missing, but I got in for my interview only at 12:20am. You do the math.
The consul was a no-smiles lady, and she seemed to be more interested in my previous L-2 visa (from almost 10 years ago!) than in my current case.
She did ask when was the last time we’d seen each other and wanted to see some pictures. She was also interested to know from where my fiancé ex-wife was from (lucki... read complete review

Long wait until I-129F approval, but after that it went fast. But I guess it is never fast enough

We got to the consulate before 7am. We were 2nd in line. But when they didn't call the interview in order of who got there first. Instead they called those who they knew had incomplete paper work or were going to be denied. After about 4 hours of waiting, we were finally seen by the consular officer (a very nice lady). The interview lasted less than 10 minutes and we were approved. Overall it was a good experience except for the long wait and the fact that they didn't call to interview in order.

My fiancee arrived early to the consulate, about 7:30am, with her dad. They were the first to arrive, but for whatever reason she was the alst to be interviewed at 4:30pm (maybe they had a predetermined order?). Regardless, her interview was the quickest (about 5 minutes as I expected) of all the interviews, likely because she had all proper evidence, supporting documentation, a history of coming to the U.S. legally, her age, and talking in English probably helped as well.
She was asked one question that she didn't know how to answer - what is MY favorite basketball team; she replied "Yankees," then quickly realized that is a baseball team.
I didn't think they would ask her my job (thought that was a question more for AOS interview), but I am glad we prepared for it because it was a little difficult to describe to her (consulting).
Anyways, she said the officer was friendly and although my girl was very nervous, it went very well.
