It is important to arrive early, because it is first come first serve. So if you get there to line up, the sooner you are there the sooner you will be seen inside. However! They don't open the doors till (8 I think), so dress appropriately for the weather if you plan to get there early.
There are several checkpoints to go through, just be patient and do exactly what each officer says. Eventually you'll go down into the basement and wait outside an elevator. Someone will come down and tell everyone they can take the elevator up to the office. Sit or stand in the appropriate section (it depends if you are there for an immigrant or non-immigrant visa).
They call people up by number (which I believe you get as you first enter the building from outside). The first person you speak with will ask for a variety of documents - birth certificate, passport, tax documents, support papers etc. They also take your finger prints and may ask you questions (the person I saw just asked for my papers but the girl beside me was asked ALOT of questions).
Lastly, you sit back down and wait to go to the next window/officer. This officer will make you say an oath, and then ask you a variety of questions - where you met, how long you've been together, if you're both able to marry, where you'll be living... etc. The guy I spoke with was super nice, and we had a good laugh about how I met my husband. He then said congrats, and wished me well.
Overall it was a good experience, no need to be nervous. Just be yourself, follow instructions, and answer all questions honestly. Good luck.
