I arrived at the consulate at 7h30 and my interview was at 8h30. I was the first one there, then another girl arrived, the doors were still not open. Then they opened the doors and asked who had an interview at 7h30, they let the other girl in, then I followed. They gave me a number and a list. I went through security, be aware that even if they take your phone, they will also remove any headphones, portable batteries, chargers, etc. Save yourself some trouble, and keep all those little electronics you won't need right after the interview somewhere else. Then I went downstairs, where they asked us to put our paperwork in the order indicated on the list they gave us. Then they came to get us to go upstairs, where we would have more time to place our papers. We got upstairs and I finished placing them. It was already 8h. Around 8h15 the other girl got called. She then comes back and I asked her how it went, well she wasn't done, it was only giving paper time. A few minutes after I was called for that as well. They actually ask for your paperworks one at a time, and not in the order they give you on the list. Once that was done, I went back to sit, the other girl was still there waiting to be called for her interview. It was already 8h35, 5 minutes late for my interview and way more for hers! Glad I got there early. Or was it long because i was early and they were not ready? We will never know. She got called for her interview which took max 5 minutes, and by 8h40 I was called for mine as well. Both ladies at the windows (first one for the paper handling), were very nice and smiling. For the interview, I was asked basic questions, how we met, when we met for the first time, what does he do for work, how he proposed and what was my longest stay in the US except when I had my work visa and if I ever had issues entering. I told her about the one time I had a work visa and I was sent to secondary inspection. For my longest stay I didn't remember the exact length, but told her never more than 6 months, which seemed to be what she wanted to hear  . The interview was very smooth, I was just surprised it took so long. Actually I really cannot complain myself as it was only a few minutes later than my time.
