Such a nice interviewer, suuper gentile and friendly, it was pleasure to talk to them. Long waiting before the interview, specially the first time you need to go after your medical.

Painless but slightly convoluted process.
- Need to go into the embassy twice, once at least 3 weeks before the other
- Only one place in the city does the medical
- Need to sign up for an account in a separate website to schedule appointment and arrange delivery/pickup of visa
Overall the interview process was smooth, if a bit convoluted. You first need to attend your medical at least 3 weeks before your actual scheduled interview. You will go to the health center, they'll do the health test and they'll give you a slip with a time slot to go to the embassy, either that same day or the following.
On this first appointment you need to bring all of the necessary documents (the ones they strictly required from me were original police certificates and marriage license) but I brought a lot more just in case. This step went well for me as I had submitted all the required documents, but somebody who was in the booth next to me was asked to submit additional evidence of something to do with the Affidavit of Support.
After that I had to wait the 3 weeks til my actual interview. Had my interview the other day. Went to the same place in the embassy and this time had an actual "interview" but it was extremely straightforward: how we met, what she does for work, what her parents' names are and what they do for work, whether I had been to her city and if so when was the last time, and when she'd last been to visit me.
Right there the officer said "you have been approved, congrats" and handed me a piece of paper that said "Welcome to the USA" with some instructions.
You don't leave with the visa, they will ship it to you according to your selection. Mine was ready to be picked up 48 hours after my interview.

No problems! My husband's interview went well and he said that everyone was very kind. The only thing is that you can't take your bag inside, as others mentioned. The best way to solve this is to leave your bag at your hotel (if you're coming from out of town). He stayed at the EasyHotel because it is affordable and they have lockers where you can leave your bag, and you can pay for them with your bank card if you don't have cash.
The first visit was a medical appointment and document review. You first go to the medical appointment, then get a chest x-ray at another location, and finally, go to the embassy at the time allotted (they tell you in a text message a couple of days before the medical appointment). They put everything they want you to bring in an envelope that you shouldn't open until the interview. In our case, it was just his birth certificate. They also tell you if you need to provide any additional documents, but we didn't.
Three weeks later was the interview. The wait was about an hour and a half. The interview was about 10 minutes and mostly in English. The passport was sent out a few days later and received exactly one week after the interview.
