I had my interview on July 10, 2015. Overall the experience was good.
My interview was at 7:40 and my fiance and I arrived around 7. We got a coffee from Starbucks across the street and joined the line (we were the 4th in line). We didn't bring our phones so I was not sure about the exact time, they didn't let us in until almost 8. Before getting in, the lady checked everyone's appointment letters and she gave me a ticket number for K1, I was number 1 (The line started to build up after 7, really quickly)
First, we went through the security. Security wasn't as rude as some people might put it, but they were definitely not "friendly". Since we had nothing with us, we were through pretty quickly.
Then we were let into this waiting area downstairs, we waited for awhile before someone let us up into the elevator. I think by the time we got to the 18th floor office, it was already 8:30.
I didn't have to get into the line again since I was K1 (for B1/2 you have to form a line again). I was called to window 1 to submit all my documents to the clerk. She was really friendly, she asked some general questions and recorded into the computer (e.g. if any of my contact info have changed, if my fiance was there with me, etc.), after collecting my ten-print, I was told to sit in the "immigration visa" area and wait to be called again for the actual interview.
I think we waited for at least 15 mins until being called again, this time it's window 7. We walked into this semi-open office-ish area (no door, couple of chairs by the entrance), my fiance followed too. We stood in front of the window and our interviewer looked really bored (not serious, but bored). He told my fiance to sit down by the door and interviewed me alone.
He asked me to read off this statement that he handed out, saying "to the best of my knowledge, everything I stated will be true". Then he asked me to go a left-hand print for him. He then went through routine questions; he didn't really ask any unexpected questions, pretty much usual stuff; how did you two meet? How long have you been together? What does your fiance do?Have you lived in any other countries other than Canada?
He talked so quiet that I had to ask him to repeat some questions (which made me more nervous)...but other than that, it went well. The actual interview took less than 5 mins and towards the end, he said "welcome to the U.S." and gave me a white instruction page and told me I should get my passport back in a week or two.
I don't know how he manage to remain looking bored and emotionless the entire time but all that matters is my visa is approved 
Good Luck to you all!
