Elliott had the interview yesterday in Sydney and after only a 5 minute interview we are APPROVED! elliott said the man was very nice and relaxed and only asked a handful of questions (How/when did we meet? How long did we date before we got engaged? What do I do for work?) he even cracked a few jokes!! elliott said the man did not even go through any of the documents elliott brought

My interview was on the 6th of October, at 9 am.
Like most people here the entry into the consulate was the same, Level 10 for security, then level "gawd knows but my ears popped" for the interview.
When I had my number and I sat there with all my paperwork, with photos, tickets, stubs, chat and phone records, birthday cards etc and waited.
You get called up to one window where a gentleman took the important documents (the originals for the copies I had sent in via email earlier) and then back to the seat and wait.
After a while (like an hour or so) I got called up for the interview itself. It was like 4 or 5 questions and the lady didn't even need to see the evidence I had. Sadly there was a problem with the financial paper work (See Aussiegal85 below, I was the one "declined") but it wasn't a full decline they just needed one more bit of paperwork. The interview it self was easy. and when I got the paper work from the U... read complete review

I had my interview 6 October at 9am.
I went to the consulate around 8.40am assuming I would be very early, but there were already lots of people there. You go through security at level 10 after presenting your appointment letter and passport, and then your paperwork is checked and sorted by one of two people on the same floor. Most of the documents I was asked to bring were not even looked at, they only looked at my birth certificate, our marriage certificate, my police check and my husband's financial information.
After that, you are seated and wait for the guard to take you to a lift which takes you to level 59. This place is like a large waiting area for the bank, or for Medicare. There is a little play room for children in one area, but no bathrooms or even any clocks. You aren't allowed to bring any electronic equipment either, so maybe bring a magazine or be prepared to spend a lot of time contemplating life.
After a taking a ticket, y... read complete review

I was very nervous about attending my interview; even though I was entirely organised in terms of paperwork the magnitude of what this interview meant for my future was enough to make me feel physically sick. I needn’t have worried though. I arrived the recommended 15 minutes prior to my interview. My name wasn’t on the scheduled list (a big blank line where mine was meant to be) so the lady examined my email confirmation and with a few phone calls was able to get me organised. I went through security and my bag was checked (you get a number so you can collect your belongings later). Despite the number of staff working security everyone was friendly and it wasn’t intimidating. Next a woman went through my paperwork, sorting out only what was necessary into a folder for me. I sat down for all of two minutes before I was escorted to the elevator and sent to level 59. There you check in once more and take a ticket. It feels like you’re waiting forever to be called but it was maybe... read complete review

So, we arrived an hour early and just sat around in the main lobby on ground floor when we decided to go up about thirty minutes before the interview. We went through security on Floor 10 (have your cell phone off), and then up to floor 59 in about three seconds. We walked in an took a number. We were called to the first part where a pretty grumpy lady sat and wasn't helpful at all (I had emailed a couple times and was told that my questions would get answered at the consulate). I asked her in the simplest way possible and this woman only seemed to want to give me attitude, because she couldn't understand what I was saying. She FINALLY helped me out, and pretty much made me feel stupid, because the US government doesn't know how to be helpful in such a horrible process (really the K-1 I absolutely ridiculous).
After about an hour of waiting we were then called to another window where a very cheerful lady asked my partner a few simple questions, and voila! The vis... read complete review
