My appointment was 10:00 and I arrived there around 9:20.
As soon as I entered the building after getting through the security, I payed $100 and took a number. I was called three times: First, I handed in all of the documents I brought right after I took the number, second for the biometrics before 10:00 I guess, and third for the interview around 11:20. The officer asked me several questions how I met my him, when the last time I saw him was, if I have been to where he lives in the US, then how many times, and other related minor things like my hobby and third language skill since we met neither in the US nor in Japan. Everyone was very nice with smile, and the interview was smooth and nothing to be worried about! Mine was in English but I saw a couple of people taking in simple Japanese.
When I got out of the embassy, it was 11:45 and found myself very hungry and full of relief.
The visa arrived 2 days later! Hope my review he... read complete review

Fiance's interview was very simple. Asked where we met and what our plans were when she comes to the US. Sent her on her way and the Visa was received within a week. Embassy is also VERY fast at processing stuff. Best of luck to anyone filing in Japan.

Just filed the I-130 at Tokyo. Showed up at 1:15pm for the appointment at 2pm, and was about 8th in line. As 2pm rolled around, the line got really long; maybe 30 or so couples.
At 2pm, the people started to file in. You gotta go through some airport-style security. They give you a little basket to leave your cell and mp3 player in and you retrieve it on the way out.
You walk through security, then outside and up to the building itself. You go in and a nice guy will ask you your name and to select your type of visa on his little computer. You'll get a number and a checklist. You sit down and wait to be called. We got called in about 40 minutes.
A word to the wise: there is a photo booth there. You do not need to get pictures taken elsewhere, just do it while you wait for your number to be called. Its 1000 yen per person.
So, you go up to the counter and a nice Japanese woman checks to make sure all your things are in order. S... read complete review

In order to get ready for my interview, I triple-checked all the documents and proof of an ongoing relationship. I also made a duplicate copy of every document just in case. I utilized both the online checklist and the paper one that was included in the packet 3. Due to my meticulousness, I ended up sleeping at 4AM, and woke up 2 hours later.
I knew I wasn't supposed to bring any electronics inside the embassy, so I used a coin locker at a station. I soon regretted this as it turned out the embassy was kind enough to keep forbidden items until the interview's over at the first room where I had to pass through a metal detector.
I quickly walked to the waiting room and got a slip of paper that had a checklist and my reception number. I made a pile of documents just as the checklist said. There was, however, one thing I wasn't sure about: application fee receipt. Thankfully, there was a nice Japanese clerk who tried to tell me what it was.Even though he didn't... read complete review

I arrived at the embassy a little before 8:30 (my appointment was at 8:30). There were only several people ahead of me already waiting inside. But when the time passed 8:30, more and more people started to arrive.
I was the 10th person in the morning, and the whole process took about 1.5 hours total.
The questions were simple and short. People at the embassy were nice.
