OK so the first thing is that the appointment times are like the points on whose line is it anyway... They do not matter at all. They appear to just be to stagger how many people arrive at once, because mine was for 7:30, there had been earlier appointment times (7:00) when I went to sign up on the website, and the doors didn't even open until 7:40ish. Some of the people in line before me were waiting for 8:00 appointments etc. They just let people in in the order they were standing in, no attempt to get earlier appointments in first, so yeah they don't appear to matter at all. You are allowed in after screening and receving a laminated sheet with instructions on what order to put your documents in. The officers doing the screening and X-ray of your items and person were polite but businesslike.
I waited for what felt like forever once you get upstairs to the consulate (19th floor) and at the first window you are called to (by number) a businesslike lady was just taking your documents. I think that if you were blatantly missing something you had the opportunity to go get it and fix it that day and wouldn't have to reschedule, because one guy and his fiance had a fight because he forgot his passport and they later came back with the passport and were able to finish lol. If you handed her something she didn't technically need she just gave it back to you. They are assembling the documents into a file for the next officer. The next officer I was called to was a very nice woman who asked me a couple questions, to tell me about my fiance, did we get formally engaged, what are our wedding plans, where do I plan to live (and how underwater is it? Lol.. He lives in Texas) Then she told me we're good to go and gave me information on the next steps and how to track my passport & visa. I was super nervous through the whole thing and I waited a looong time. I didn't leave there until after 10am.
