Very friendly staff, as nerve wrecking it can be I'll give the same advice everyone else here gave me, be calm and relaxed it goes very smoothly.
Arrived 8 AM for my 9 AM appointment, they let me in as the consulate was very quite, the whole process was under an hour.
Arrived at the consulate and gave the help desk my passport, filled out some piece of paper with case number and my contact details, they applied a sticker on the back of my passport for my pick up location.
Proceeded to sit in the line and wait to be called to counter 4, handed over all the required docs for the k-1 visa.
Then waited to be called to window 6, raised my right hand and confirmed all info supplied and answers are true etc..
Questions he asked:
where did we meet
When did my fiance visit me
what is my background in my studies and work
was I married before/ was my fiance married before

I had my appointment last thursday at 1pm. I got there super early like 11:40 am and then the security guard said I should go to the mall and get some refreshments haha. So I came back at about 12 :20 and there were only two couples lined up on the benches. Met some lovely people going through same or similar processes. We were then called to line up and the man checked out names and photos to make sure they are the right size. Then off we went through security and then through to the main building. Everything honestly went by so fast, we filled out a small piece of paper with our contact info and then went to go sit down and wait for our number to be called. I was number 3. I chatted to some people while we waited as I was a little nervous. About 5 min later I got called to the first window where I met a lovely SA lady who asked me for all my documents and fingerprints:
- DS 160
- PCC - she kept
- UBC - gave back but kept a copy
- passport photos

Had the K1 interview yesterday - it was about 2.5 hours from walking in to walking out (most of it is spent waiting to be called to a counter).
After submitting all our documents, I waited and was called to a different counter for the interview. It was actually quite short - about 15 minutes.
The interviewer was friendly, and asked:
- When was the last time you saw your fiance?
- How and when did you meet?
- Tell me your story?
- What are your wedding plans and what are your plans once you've entered the US?
- What kind of job/work are you going to do once you're able to work (Green Card issued)?
She said well done our application looks really good and we had all the documents they required. Congratulations, and she'd approve it later in the day.
Done!

Status on System: Administrative Processing 22 May
Status updated on system: Approved 23 May
(only saw on 25 May)
For those of you wondering if AP means 2 weeks or 6+ months, as mentioned in the pink form they give you.

I stood in the queue outside from around 7:30am. We were let in at 8am, and I was #15.
When I was eventually called up to submit my documents, I was asked for my birth certificate original and copy, my original and copy of divorce doc as well as a copy of my fiance's (so glad I had this!!!!), I134 and other financial proof (NB they want tax transcripts!!!!!), as well as all proof of relationship - only paperclips allowed, no plastic sleeves etc.
I was then sent back to my seat to wait for the interview.
I said an oath,
She handed me the legal sheet explaining rights in the us re domestic violence etc and then chatted about it briefly.
I then was asked:
when did you meet and where/how?
when did you see him last?
Tell me about your first visit.
How much does your fiance make per year?
Questions on how I validate my short relationship pre engagement.
Questions about kids following to join.
