I arrived at 08:15 for my 08:30 appointment, as recommended in the email. I would recommend getting there at least half an hour early, I think that would have saved me an hour of wait time inside. Most of the people in line are there for tourist visa's. The list I glanced at only had around 7 names for an IV. The IV interviews just take longer, so if you manage to get there before a few of them it'll save you a lot of time.
I ended up waiting in line till 08:50 to sign in. Once that was done it took until about 09:30 before I was allowed in and through security.
Once inside I had to wait all the way in the back (15-21 I believe). I waited until 10:05 to hand in my documents, and then had to wait another hour before my interview.
The interview itself was fairly simple and only took 10 minutes. Most of which was just the interviewer typing stuff. She asked where me and my husband met, where he was stationed and will be stationed afterwards, if this... read complete review

Had an easy process at the embassy. My appointment was at 08:30, I arrived at 08:00 to a short line. Got to one of the two outside windows, handed over my passport and my DS-160. Got the passport back with a ticket nr attached and was instructed to move to security. Security was fast, efficient, friendly but very strict. Make sure you don't have backpacks or laptops on you - they cannot hold them for you. I had an AirTag, they held it at security.
After security I walked through a courtyard ("Follow the green lines"), there's security every step of the way so it's impossible to get lost. I sat down in the main hall in front of window 15-21. There's (uncomfortable) plastic chairs, a restroom, a clock, and two water fountains. My wait until I got called for my first step was about 30 minutes.
The first time you are called to a window, it is to check the documents. I spoke to a nice lady who attentively walked through all the files. I was correctly prepared ... read complete review

For my 09:30 interview appointment at the US consulate in Frankfurt, I arrived early, at 07:30. There was a line and had to wait about 30 minutes until it was my turn at the first window. I had to hand over my passport and was given a service number. My husband was with me and also he had to show his passport. They wished me good luck with the interview.
Security check went smooth. I had a bag with the paperwork me, got asked if there were no laptops and/or phones inside my back.
Inside the main building, I was asked to sit in front of windows 15-23 (immigrant visas). After about 30 minutes my number was on the screen, it was my turn for the check-in. I handed over my (original) birth certificate, police clearance and marriage certificate, and 1 recently taken photograph. They asked me if I already had done the medical exam. I confirmed, and then they saw it on the screen. Fingerprints of both hands were taken. The consular officer was very friendly.

Arrived 5 mins early to my 9:30 appointment.
The check in went smooth, only to arrive at the IV check in desk with around 20 people before me, this lasted me about 30 wait time.
Than I had to wait around 1,5 for the actual visa interview.
The interview went well and was done correctly, mostly questions about the documents rather than personal questions.
All in all it took us about 3-4 hours but what’s that after waiting nearly 1,5 year.

I was there early and wasn't allowed in yet. When I was about half an hour later I had to wait for everyone who was already there. Apparently your appointment time is not really your appointment time, it's your "from time" lol. I had to wait about an hour there and listen to all the other interviews before it was my turn. I found that to be nice, it took away all my nerves and I noticed I was more than prepared. People were very nice, great experience. I was approved pending my medical that they hadn't received yet, but took my documents and passport and a week later my status was changed to approved and my passport arrived with my visa.
