We arrived about 10 minutes early to our 7:40am interview, went through the simple security screening (be sure not to bring *any* purse/bag/backpack/cellphone/electronics since people were turned away for doing so), and went upstairs into the large waiting area.
They called Lanéa up to one of the windows and she spoke with the male officer for about 10 minutes, mostly just about papers we were asked to bring and one question about me (What did I do for a living). The officer said they were going to work on our case for a little bit and then they'd call us back up shortly.
About 20 minutes later, they called Lanéa to a different window that had a door you could close and she had a female officer this time who asked her just a few simple questions like how we met, if I had siblings, etc. Then the officer said, "Alright, well your visa is approved and here is your welcome letter. We'll take your passport and mail it out to you in about a week. Congratulations" and now we just wait 
Overall, it was a very straightforward, easy process and the officers were all very respectful and polite. Make sure you have originals of everything (birth certificate, etc) and all the items on the Packet 4 checklist.
I will say our case was very easy to prove since Lanéa has met my entire family in person, and I've met all of hers as well and both of our families love and support each of us. Lanéa and I have also lived together in the same apartment for close to 3 years now so we had plenty of evidence showing we were in a stable and loving relationship.
