Friendly and professional staff. No harassment. Mostly basic questions about relationship. US citizen (fiancee) had lived in Japan for four years, what job she was doing, how we met (mutual friend at a dinner party), etc. Approved on the spot. Very smooth process. Answered questions in Japanese and basic English.

Overall everything went smoothly. I had a late morning appointment though I don't think it matters whether you arrive super early or not. The time spent in the embassy will be the same.
You are allowed to use your phones indoors (and internet) so even if you have to wait, it's not an issue. The questions were very straightforward. I initially went and submitted the package when they called my number, then waited again, then gave fingerprints, waited some more and then finally had the interview. As noted, nothing difficult, just generic questions about meeting parents, where we met, what my husband (USC) is doing now etc. Didn't take longer than 5-7 minutes for the interview itself though with waiting it took me about 1,5h I think. Processing after that was super quick, I had my passport in hand in 2-3 days.

We had our application expedited at NVC for a medical issue, and because the applicant's job was ending soon, causing financial difficulty for us. The expedite was never mentioned at the interview.
1. Security check
2. Check in with person at the front, show the appt time confirmation email
3. They give you a folder to put your documents in a certain order
4. You will be called almost immediately, you give your papers at the window and then sit and wait
5. After about 2 hours, they call again and fingerprints are taken
6. Wait another 30 minutes
7. Interview
Interview is really easy. Only the applicant can be at the window.
Questions:
When did you meet your husband?
Where did you meet him?
Were you studying in X at the time?
Does he still live in X?
How many sibl... read complete review

Very smooth experience. Security and embassy staff were all very polite and professional.
The appointment was at 9AM. We arrived a few minutes early and were allowed to enter. There was no line to get in. Security was much more forgiving than specified on the embassy web site. We were both allowed to enter. We didn't bring any bags but other people had regular backpacks and such.
Waiting time was approximately 90 minutes total with three trips to the window: 1) submit documents, 2) verify identity (fingerprinting), 3) interview
The interview was very straightforward and took only 3-5 minutes. The interviewer was not Japanese but allowed the interview to be done in Japanese and had sufficient proficiency to do that. There were 10 questions, all routine (when/where did you meet family, have you ever been to the US, etc), mostly with yes/no or very short answers. At the end of the interview, the interviewer stated that the visa was app... read complete review

The embassy was not busy in the morning hours on this particular day, so it was a 45 minutes or less total time inside.
First, paperwork. Second, Fingerprinting. Third, Interview. All of which didn't take long. The interview itself was about 5 minutes and my fiancee was nervous about it in the past week. With some encouragement and with some preparation, its an easy process. I checked reviews to try to get some insight on the interview itself, and I've noticed that there are questions that MUST be asked, so for anyone wondering what those are.
How did you meet?
When did you first meet in person? (Question is likely dependent on if you met online somehow)
When was your last physical meeting?
Is this your first marriage? What about him?
Have you met his family?
Have you ever lived in another country?
What are his hobbies?
I wanted to point out that her particular interviewer didn't smile at all in the ... read complete review
