Interview questions --
* When and where did you and your petitioner meet?
* When did you get married?
* Where do you plan to move? (I gave the state where my spouse resides.)
* Have you or your petitioner ever been married previously? (My spouse had been married once before we met.)
> How did that marriage end?
> Do you have any document to show that? (I presented a copy of my spouse's final divorce decree. I had uploaded a scan to CEAC, but the document screener did not ask for the paper copy, so the CO asked for it.)
* Have you ever lived in another country? (I said that I traveled abroad for business trips and asked for clarification if that's what they're asking, so the CO rephrased.)
> Have you ever lived or worked in another country for more than 6 months at a time?
Notes --
* I arrived at the embassy around an hour before my appointment time, but the gatekeeper let me in immediately without having... read complete review

K1 Interview Experience: Arrived at 4:30am for 6:30am interview time. Way to early. No need to arrive until about 5:30am. Petitioner not allowed into the embassy. Had to leave and go back to hotel at 6:30am and wait for her to come back to hotel. She said the process was smooth. Pre-screening included passport, DS160, IRS Transcript of Petitioner, Affidavit of Support (I-134), 2x2 pics with name written on back, PSA Birth Certificate, NBI, Cenomar. Questions such as what is name, birthdate, had to take of the mask to match the passport photo, asked what is full name of petitioner. Asked for current address, Asked if Petitioner is Single or Divorced. They reviewed the Medical results. Then Pre-screening was over and had to do fingerprints. Then had to sit and wait for your name to be called. Then sent to Window 62 and asked for Passport. Then had to remove mask again to verify indentity. Was asked full name and birthday again. Had to raise right hand to give some kind of oath. Then the ... read complete review

TL;DR - Interview took around 4 hours because my wife had to exit the building to upload missing documents to the consulate's visa online system, the embassy needed time to find documents she mailed to them, and she was last on the list to be interviewed that morning.
Long version: My wife's interview was at 7:30am. US Embassy has no parking for visa interviewees so we had to park a few block away across the street on Roxas Blvd East Service Road near the Bayview Park Hotel. Empty parking spots were roped off but we told the parking attendant we were headed to the US Embassy and he kindly opened up a spot for us. I walked my wife to the Embassy after parking (about 5 minutes walk) and they let her in 15 min early. Unlike other people's experience, her interview process took about 4 hours. This was for several reasons:
1) During the first pre-processing step where they check all the visa candidate's documents, the US Embassy representative informed my wife there we... read complete review
