We have been together for nearly nine years, and married over 3.
My husband is the Australian and went to the U.S. Sydney consulate for his interview. He flew in from Perth the night before as he had to fly in from work as well. His plane from Perth was delayed 45 minutes, then in Sydney his plane was stuck on the Tarmac for an hour due to weather. Finally out of the plane he got in a taxi with less than an hour to spare for his interview and was very stressed.
He made it to his hotel, and then went to the interview and was ten to fifteen minutes late.
He was finished within an hour and half to two hours. The immigration agent just asked general questions about us, and then queried why my name was still in my maiden name on my 2013 tax return. This was because I hadn't changed my name on my SSN when in the U.S. while on a holiday previously. However, hubby did have my 2014 tax return which has my married name.
Hubby said it w... read complete review

Just like everyone states, you head to level 10 and go through security. They're lovely and sincerely thank you if you don't bring any bags or phone etc. Then you head over to a desk with two girls who sort through your documents, put them in order and shove it in a clear folder.
They told me that I didn't need the printed receipt that the post office gave me, so I put it into my "spare" envelope that I brought with me in case anything wasn't needed. Lucky, because upstairs they asked for the printed receipt. Note: hold onto everything regardless if the girls downstairs tell you it's unnecessary.
Next you go up into an elevator to the 59th floor and speak to a person who asks you again if you have a mobile or Fitbit. I left both in my hotel so all good to keep going through the heavy door into the waiting/interview room. Make sure the person buzzes the door open before you start pulling though or you'll look silly trying to heave a door open... like me. I... read complete review

My appointment was for 8:15am 28th of April. I flew in the night before and stayed at the Oaks Hotel on College street (AU$156 for the night, the restaurant downstairs is good and you can take it to you're room if you're stressed), it's only 15 minute walk from the embassy.
I got to the MLC center 30 minutes early and good job I did because it takes that long to get through security because most people around you will not be organised for quick processing.
Tips to make it quick:
- DO have your paperwork in the same order as the DSL-1076 checklist they send you.
- DO print your name on the back of ONE USA passport photo (5cm x 5cm)
- DO NOT take your phone, iPod, iPad, laptop or anything else electric...just don't! They will really appreciate it and tell you they love you if you don't bring anything like that.
- DO NOT wear anything with big metal chunks on it, you are being screened just like at the airport. do them and yourself... read complete review
