Arrive around 11.50 for a 12pm appointment due to terrible traffic. Pretty much went straight through security, at the entrance I received a number. I waited about 2 hours in a very packed waiting area before I handed in my documents and then another 40 minutes before the interview which last about 5mins. By this time the waiting area was pretty empty I was about fifth last of the immigrant visa for the day, so I recommend getting there a little bit earlier.
They asked my fiancé name
How did we meet
When was the last time we saw each other
Have I met his family
Which members of his family have I met
What does he do for a living
That was it. You approved and you should have your passport back in a few weeks

The embassy was great. Only down side was for some reason my appointment time said 1230 yet when I got there I was down for 1200 on the person in the tents list so I ended up being 20th in line (I did check again when I got home and it definitely says 1230 appointment). It was a little funny on reflection because I had been really pleased with my self turning up 'early' to get a good place in line! I had to wait a while about 2 hours to show my documents, but then only about another 25-30 mins for interview.
I had been slightly anxious about us being a gay couple in that homophobia seems fairly common in some parts of the US, but when I arrived, there were to great big rainbow flags hanging from the building which really put my mind at rest. My experience in that respect was very positive, it is probably the most 'normal' our relationship has been treated in fact! So other LGBT people there is no need to worry on that front.
I was nervous between the wait ... read complete review

My interview was scheduled for 12 noon , arrived 11:15am reported to the tent , showed my DS confirmation and ticked off my name on the list of names . Was let in immediately . Security checked and number for the day was stuck on my passport .
Waited for 30 mins until my number was called . A lady was at the said window , took my finger prints , asked for my passport, affidavit of support from fiance with letter from employee , police certificate was also collected , asked when I intend to travel . A copy of my passport picture was made and original returned to me . I was then sent back to sit down and await the second part of interview . Was seated for another 15 mins
The second part of the interview was extremely swift and at ease , was at the window for a total of 5 mins max I was sworn in , asked how fiance and I met (gave her the timeline of our relationship and some back stories ) and what fiance does for work ... After which I heard the much awaited wor... read complete review

Writing this on behalf of my husband- As everyone mentions, there's a little marquee set up outside of the Embassy with lines quickly forming. Everyone just gets in line and though there was a sign that listed immigrants/nonimmigrants, etc to form a line, they ladies working that day seemed a bit exasperated at a few of us who were there for IR1/K1s. They asked for DS160s as soon as we approached the desk. I explained that my husband was for IR1/CR1 and his was a DS260. We were quickly told to step aside and wait. A few others for K1s were told to do the same.
Despite having read on other forums that spouses/fiancees have attended the appointments, it's like getting into a VIP club; if you're not on a list, you're not getting in! (we did the form online requesting permission to attend, but never received a response. This was done when we scheduled the appointment)
In he went through the airport security and through the check in process (American man... read complete review
