We really lucked out! We were scheduled for the first appointment of the day on a Monday with only 2 other applicants in line. My fiancé and I lined up early (unnecessarily, it turns out) and got our numbers while outside the consulate. From there, a security guard let us both into the building and we passed through a small security check. I had my documents in a folder and we didn't bring any bags or electronics with us (including cell phones).
We waited in the lobby downstairs until another security guard let us onto the elevator up to the consulate offices. Once my number was called, I went to the counter with my fiancé and submitted the mandatory documents (photos, appointment confirmation, birth cert, police cert, etc.). After I entered my fingerprints, we were instructed to wait until called up for my interview. My number was called a few minutes later and I went up alone. I was asked a few questions about where I was born, our intended address in the U.S., and my fiancé's employment status. Then, I was approved! I was told I would receive my visa in less than 2 weeks if the biometrics were clear.
Everyone was very kind at the consulate and the process was completely straightforward. Thanks to VJ, we had our documents prepped and in order!
