It was about 15 minutes before my actual interview time when I was let through the Big Black Gate. After that I had to wait some more to hand over my phone and mp3 player ... and I was still in the building at exactly 1330. Very punctual 
The very friendly man at window 5 took my passport, the two photograps, originals and copies of marriage certificate and birth certificate. He gave me my x-ray & vaccination sheet back, with instructions, and then the original certificates. I had to remind him of the DS-230 part 2
I waited for about 5 minutes and then the consular officer called me to the next window. I swore I filled everything by myself and truthfully while holding up my right hand, and she had me sign the DS-230 part 2. The interview was basically a short conversation: so, when did you get married? Have you been to Michigan before? I babbled for a bit
Then, she said everything was in or... read complete review

The following is transcribed from my fiance's tale of his experiences:
Make sure you leave home with plenty of time to spare. More than once, during this process, we've had issues with the trains and busses being late, and the interview day was no exception. I arrived about an hour ahead of time. I walked around the place about three times before going to stand by the Embassy gate. About fifteen minutes later, other people arrived. There was a girl there, also for a K-1 interview. I was stripped of my phone and MP3 player in an outdoor tent and was sent through another door. I got a receipt to get them back after the itnerview.
So I go inside and wait in a warm room. The TV has CNN on and try to make small-talk. Soon enough, I get called to a window and a guy checks stuff over with me. I had to show the affidavit, birth certificate, proof of money-transfer, and sign a form. Then I was told to go sit down again and wait until called. A bit later, I get call... read complete review

Straight forward, really.
I went to the Embassy with a TON of proof ( photos, emails, phone records, flight receipts, hotel receipts...etc), he looked at NONE of it.
I had all the documents required (medical,I-134...etc; etc)
After a long wait inside-the officer asked afew simple questions " How did you meet and where?"..etc etc etc.
Then he said " Congratulations on your up-coming marriage and entry to the United States, you are approved"....
...My passport arrived back from them with a visa within 4 days!

I will start by thanking the members of VJ for their useful advice and discussion in making this lenghty journey a reality.This is basically our experience with regards to the medical interview and actual interview at the US consulate Amsterdam,The Netherlands.I received my packet 4 on the 9th of Dec and had my medicals done on the 18th of Dec.
My mecicals was very simple.I first of all had to call both doctors for the physical examination and the x-ray the same day.For the physical examination,I had two immunization shots which cost 70 euros for both.My physical examination cost me 155 euros.During the physical examination,the doctor just asked me about my medical history like whether I have been hospitalised before,If am on any medication etc.After that,I had my x-ray which cost me 50 euros.
Our actual interview at the US consulate on the 9th Jan, I guess was the easiest part of this whole process.We were interviewed by a nice gentle guy.He didnt ask us any di... read complete review

A very smooth experience over all. I had my interview on Dec. 12th at 1.30 pm. I arrived at the consulate at 1.15 pm and there were some people waiting but those of us with interview letters were let in first. We got our ID and our bags checked and we were scanned with a metal detector. At a 2nd security check we had to leave our cellphone and other electronics in a locker room. We then formed a line in front of a window where a nice lady took my payment receipt, birth cert (she checked the original and kept the copy i' brought), spanish police cert, passport, photos, and affidavit of support and asked me to sit and wait. I was called about 10-15 mins later to another window where a super nice guy told me my papers were all perfect, and when he saw i was born and raised in Spain, told me how much he loves Andalucia and proceeded to interview me in almost perfect spanish! I say interview but it was more a conversation about the place i grew up. He then asked how long ago I met Tim, when... read complete review
