I had all the documents requested, arrived early and was the first one in line. Took short time, got asked some questions on where I met my husband, how long we were married for and what is his job in California. Since we were married for 2 years and 2 days on the day of the interview they changed my visa from CR1 to IR1.

I arrived 30 minutes early, but was let in by the guards.
I had brought an accordian folder, but was not allowed to bring it in past security.
I had to wait in the room adjacent to security. Once it was my turn, I had to go to a small lectern first. There they checked whether I had all my documents and copies thereof.
Oddly, they asked for a copy of my passport, which wasn't in the requirements sent by the embassy by e-mail. They checked for my passport (+copy), two pass photos, birth certificate (+copy), police certificate, form i-134, and the DS-160 confirmation page.
Should you for some reason not have copies, there is a copying machine in the room. However, try to bring your own copies, as you will only inconvenience the staff and delay your own appointment.
Once my documents were checked and found to be in order, I had to wait again before being called to the first real booth. There the officer took my documents and asked ... read complete review

Interview was a breeze. I was worried about the strict rules and regulations I had read about everywhere but it wasn't a big deal at all.
Had an 8:30AM appointment and showed up at around 8:10. Security was easy, then the wait began. There were about 6 people who were there before me to get their documents checked. It took an hour before it was my turn. Seems they were only interested in the police certificate, my marriage certificate and my birth certificate (the originals, not copy's). And a copy of my husbands passport.
Waited for about 30 minutes before I got called up to the window again. Consular officer was very friendly and asked me a couple questions:
- how did we meet (and what was our first in-person meeting)
- how did he propose
- what is mine and his job
- his education background
-what i plan to do in the usa
-if my family has met him before
- what we did for our wedding
This took maybe 5 minutes and t... read complete review

Overall a pretty good experience.
My appointment was at 1.30 pm. I arrived at 1 pm and was let in after they checked my appointment, which took about 10 min, because they didn't have the list with (k1) appointments for the day I think. Security was friendly. I had to leave my bag with security, I was not allowed to bring anything in other than the documents required for the interview. I had to take all my documents out of my folder too.
Then I had to wait at the first window for about 5 min, I was the only one in the room at that point. I gave them all the required documents, my passport and two passport photos. They also asked for a copy of my fiance's ID, which was not on their checklist, but fortunately I brought a copy (because someone else in the reviews here mentioned it).
After that was done I had to sit down and wait for the interview. At that point a few more people had arrived, but it was still not busy at all. After about 10 min ... read complete review
