Stayed at the Marriot Courtyard Downtown which was less than a 5 minute walk to the consulate. Got there at around 6:50am, with 5 people already waiting. Luckily, most of them were there for other visas so I wasn't in competition with them to get in line. When you are waiting, someone comes out and asks who has a 7:40am appointment (K1s usually do). They handed me a plastic card with a number on it. I was #1!
I was sent inside for security check. Whatever you do, do not bring a large purse or cellphones. All I did was bring my debit card, cash, hotel key, and a file folder for my documents. Went room downstairs and waited for about 8-10 minutes. An officer came to open the elevator and you go up. It doesn't matter where you stand in the elevator anymore as you get numbers.
I was called to the window booth and was asked for my passport, photocopy of my biographic data page, birth certificate, police records, I-134 and supporting documents. Was sent back to the waiting area. About 15 minutes later, was called to the interview booth. Read an oath. I was asked how we met, how long we've known each other, whether either of us were married. I said yes for my fiance, and he asked for divorce certificate. Handed me a letter and said "Welcome to the USA" and then walked away and that was it.
The lady who took my documents was pretty smiley and nice, but everyone else looked miserable and serious. Other than that, smooth process. I was out of there by 9am! Make sure you get there early so you can have it done within 2 hours. Otherwise, I've read some people are stuck there until the afternoon.
