This morning I had my interview at the consulate. I was cleared through the security (who were actually really nice which was unexpected). I then met with the consulate officer I had been dealing with over email. She explained the process, made sure they had all the documents, and then told me to wait for my interview.
The interview went as expected. I was asked what my husband's name was, where we met, when we met, what my husband did for a job, where and when we were married, and why I was in Virginia (where we got married). We then discussed my husband's orders, the military lifestyle, he gave me a handout on domestic violence and told me some places to visit when I head to Germany. He then said he could not approve me (as expected) until they had my results, but that I will get a call next week confirming that my passport was sent out with my visa. So basically, conditionally approved.

My appointment was for 9:30am, Thurs 6th of December, and I was fortunate enough that my husband was able to attend the interview with me, I initially thought he may not be able to get off work, but the moral support/company did not go amiss.
We arrived at the citibank building (Consulate Office) at 8:45, went next door to the Post Office and purchased ANOTHER courier paid post bag as the one previously purchased was not an A4 size, thus would be too small. We then made our way upstairs at 9.00am
When we got up to the 3rd floor, we were greeted by the security guard, who was friendly, not intimidating at all, we walked through the metal detectors, and the guard directed us as to which window to go to. We were the only ones in the immigrant visa queue, so that was good, but there were quite a number of people in the 'non' immigrant queue, and as we would learn inspite of our interview time coming and going, they clear that queue first.

So I had my interview last Tuesday. The interview was pretty painless - I would say I was in and out of the consulate in about an hour. Most of the time was simply waiting... First I went up to the immigration visa window and it was simply a matter of quickly going through my paperwork and supplying originals of anything I had only previously sent copies of (i.e. my birth certificate). After that I paid my visa fee. Some more waiting, and then it was time for my interview. Again it was really just someone checking over my paperwork. I believe I was only asked two questions "Was I going to change my name?" and "Where did I meet my husband?"
Today my passport, complete with visa and immigration file (to hand to the officer when I enter the US) arrived in the mail :-)

Building super easy to find.
Interview was scheduled for 9.30am, arrived around 9.15am. Left bag with security and was told to go to a certain window. At this point I spoke with my case manager (who had been fantastic and emailed back and forth with me from the first notice through to interview whenever I had questions - A+) who went over the paperwork. I was then directed to another window to pay the fee and then instructed to take a seat. Waited about a half hour while other people went up to the window, then was called up myself. Wasn't asked anything really difficult, the weirdest part was having the interviewer ask what my tumblr URL was (he had gone to my facebook and was trying to access it from there, but it had an old name on it...) I ended up telling him the new name of my tumblr and he went and took a look... luckily harmless stuff like kittens on the front page, so no dramas. All in all I was out of there within an hour and approved.
