Overall the experience was great.
I was only allowed to enter into the consulate 5 minutes before the appointment. Security check was quick and staff was nice. Waiting time was not long, and it took only around 45 minutes from walking into the consulate to leaving the premise. The immigration officer was patient and mainly asked questions about our plans to the US as my husband was staying with me in Hong Kong and was required to prove his re-domicile intent.

My appointment was at 8:30 AM. I arrived at the gate around 8 AM but I wasn't allowed to enter till my appointment time. Many people had advised me to arrive early due to the security check but I think you only need to be there 5-10 mins before your appointment time.
The security guard asked to see 1) the appointment confirmation letter (in my case, it was a copy of the email from the consulate), 2) HK ID/Passport, and 3) DS-160 confirmation page.
After passing the security check, I went to the 2nd floor and waited 10 minutes till a HK lady called my name. She asked to see my HK visa (I'm a South Korean national) and reviewed my docs one by one. I didn't have the original copies of Form 1-964 and related supporting documents but she said they only need original copies of the police certificates. This part took around 10-15 minutes and then I was instructed to wait again.
There was only one other person waiting in the room but I was called first for the interview with a male CO. He was very nice and asked me basic questions:
1) Why are you applying for the visa in HK, not in Korea?
2) How did you meet your fiance?
3) Have you met each other's family?
4) When was the last time you met him?
5) What is your wedding plan? Will your family attend the wedding in the US?
The CO told me that my visa is approved and will be issued & delivered within the next 7-10 days.
The whole process took about 1 hour. Everyone at the HK consulate was nice and helpful.

Hi Guys, I just attended my interview this morning and got approved, this journal is finally close to an end.
Just want to share some useful information here in case you are in the same situation as me, which was a little tricky with the affidavit support.
Everything else went well other than two things : (explained in the later content)
- The Affidavit Support he provided and,
- His US domicile prove
Interview duration: around 2 hours ( waiting around1.5 hours)
Questions asked :
- Where is your husband now?
- How long has he been living in Hong Kong?
- Is this the first marriage for both of you?
- Do you have kids together?
- Have you been into the US before?
- What does your husband do?
- What do you do?
- When did you get married?
- Do you have a dog? ( I think the CO was just being tricky cause I have 2 cats)
- When do you plan to move to the US?
The domicile problem:
The CO told me that they do not provide visa to those whose spouses are not domiciled in the US, which freaked me out a little but I guess it's just an official statement because later the asked me to explain our plans, aka plans to move to the US to resume my husband's domicile. Here's my answer for your reference:
I told him that my husband is actively applying for jobs in the US currently and he just had an interview with this one company. I gave him the emails between my husband and the company he applied job at as long as other job applications. My husband also wrote an domicile explanation letter about the situation. The CO's fine with that.
The Affidavit Support Problem:
My husband lives in Hong Kong ever since he started his PHd program in 2013. He didn't have to pay the federal tax for the past few years as he was a student. The consulate staff at the registration got super confused when they couldn't find his tax return forms. Even the CO said my husband made a mess on the affidavit support.. which made my heart dropped. But it's all good after I showed them my husband's income statement, my income statement and our savings.
Overall speaking the staff are helpful and the CO was real nice.
Hope this helps and good luck on all of your interviews!
