Before schedule the interview, the consulate need to have your case in hand( you can email to ask) And collect all the information they need in the list, such as DS160, interview confirm form, birth certificate, current household registration certificate, police record and I134 with W2, etc...
So I schedule the interview at 13:50, but I went inside before 15 mins( it depends on security guard, if he or she let you to go inside before schedule time.
When I enter the consulate, they ask me for my mobile and ID to keep in their place and go through kind of airport security check. After I go inside the actual place, I let the reception see my interview confirm paper and DS160. Then I go inside other room submit all my document and passport , also the 2x2 pictures. Then the other window they will check all the information with you and scan your fingers prints. This part is important. The lady type all the answer on computer, like she is doing summary to the interview officer. So just answer the truth.
Lady: why u check your first name and last name? Why has this big chance in your life?
Me: well . My mother and father got divorced, so I don't want my father last name and according to my fortune teller, I have to Chang my first name as well to be good for myself lol (the lady was laugh when I said that, but it truth tho lol )
And then she asks me about when I meet him?When I go to America to meet his parents? When he meets my family and what's his job etc(I show her my fiancé military order and she said she hates to see it because it all words and a lot of number lol )
After done with this part, she will ask you to wait to be call later by interview officer ( the interview part would be in English but it depends if u speak English with your fiancé)
After 30mins officer call my full name,
Officer: hello how are you ?
Me: I'm ok but nervous lol.
Officer: alright. Can you rise your right hands and swear all you say is truth today blah blah blah(after he will need you to scan right hands finger print)
Officer: so tell me after you and your fiancé?
Me : well he is funny and we know each other on 2013/8. And see face to face on 2014/01/10
Officer : so when you guys know each other you haven't see each other yet ?
Me . That's correct.
Officer: so what website you meet each other ?
Me: shout.
Officer : ok go on .
Me : and he show me Japan and meet up with his friend which you already see in the photo. And I stay in hotel because I can't enter the base and he lives in dorm.
Officer: why is he in Japan?
Me becaus he is in military.
Officer: oh ok ! What branch ?
Me: Navy.
And then he ask me about what we do together? Did I meet his parent? Did he meet my parents .
Officer : so do your family like him?
Me: yes!!they love him a lot becuz he eat everything including stinky tofu
Officer: very courage (with big shock and laugh)
Me : yeah haha he tries everything.
And then he ask me where we going to marry and where my fiancé from. And what will I want to work in US if I can.
And I mention I major in Spanish so he speaks Spanish with me after I say that :/ haha which I almost forgot how to say hahah
So after all that he said you are approved . You will receive your visa within 2-3days( not including weekend tho)
So good luck everyone officer is nice. Just say the truth hope everyone the best luck

We arrive at AIT (Taiwan's pseudo embassy) about 15 minutes before our 9:00 appointment and we were told to have a seat and wait for our appointment time before they would collect our appointment letter. After the initial check-in and passport registration (for return of passport with visa stamp) we were directed to the document preparation and interview room. We waited for a very long time (about one hour) for our name to be called. The clerk went though our folder and asked to see original documents for our marriage certificate and household registration (Taiwan document). After we completed document collection and review, we were directed to another window to be fingerprinted. After fingerprints was the formal interview. There were very few questions from the clerk who prepared our documents and even less from the officer who did the actual interview. Questions were about my spouse's current employment, when was the last time we visited the U.S., and then some questions about the AOS. I had a new AOS (current form) prepared with new asset figures. We have no income in the U.S. so we qualified based on the asset rules. No problem. There was a lot of waiting and waiting, but when our turn came it was very quick and easy! Thanks to all the members for all your help along the way! :D

AIT was overall effective at their job, however we had a few difficulties.
1. She tried to apply for an interview date online (the only way to make the appointment) she repeatedly got a calendar of dates with no times available. We had to call a phone number +88607010801575 (as of 08/2015) and someone fixed her profile quickly.
2. She arrived for her interview exactly at the time specified and was never called upon for her interview. She sat patiently and waited for 2.5 hours until they almost closed. Someone finally asked her what she was waiting for and she got help. They said they "mixed up the paperwork" but there was only one other k1 appointment that day. Still, once noticed she went through the interview wicket and without issue and they apologized.
4/5 everything was relatively easy and straight forward though time consuming. A few hiccups but overall process completed as promised.
