The interview went smoothly.
I arrived an hour early and they let me go through. I went in at 8:30 and finished by 9:45. My interview was booked for 9:30.
Sabe process as others. Level 10 for security as document ordering (the ladies literally just put your documents in order - originals and copies - and then in a file ready for you to hand to the first person you see on when you get to level 59.
It's really not that scary. But I work for government in a confidential role so I'm use to all the official business stuff.
When I got to 59 I was instructed to take a number and wait. When my number came up I was asked to present all my documents. The nice lady looked through everything and made sure it was all there and all correct. She asked me for my husbands phone number which I gave her. I was then told to take a seat and il be called for my interview.
The I interview lady was a bit snippy but still nice. She asked me:... read complete review

Straightforward interview with friendly staff today. A few points to add to previous reviews:
- The security screening/x-ray area on level 10 is small, and they only process one person through the x-ray at a time. Myself and half a dozen other people waited in line for what felt like forever behind a guy struggling with a massive tangle of cables, and then going through all of his documents multiple times trying to find the chest x-ray CD (because you can't take that up to the consulate with you). So please, for everyone's sake, don't take a lot of electronics with you if you can avoid it, and BE ORGANISED
- The security staff on level 10 really appreciate it if you don't have a lot of stuff with you. I just had my documents, wallet, and keys, and they actually thanked me for making it easy by not having a phone or bag.
- After security but still on level 10 I had my interview letter and document checklist reviewed by one of two girls. I had submitted photocopies o... read complete review

My husband had his interview yesterday. Was in there about two hours, but most of that was waiting. Said the interview was only about 5 min long.
He was asked:
How did you meet?
When did you get married?
How long were you in Thailand? (that's where we met while volunteering)
Who is your joint sponsor? What is his relation to your wife?

Received the interview instructions (via email) well in advance and were easy to follow.
Arrived at US Consulate location 30mins prior to 11am appointment. Cleared security without issue as I only took paperwork, wallet and phone. My phone and the medical CD were kept downstairs with security.
After clearing security, I was informed that the computer systems were down and was asked to complete a 4 page application form. I completed the document to the best of my knowledge (most of the info most people will know from completing the application process).
Completed the document and then up in the lift (elevator) and through additional security checkpoint and on into the review area. Looks very similar to a well secure bank or RTA (DMV) with lots of number 'tellars'.
As I walked into the area, I took a numbered ticket and sat down in the waiting area. There would have been 10 people in total already there.
10min wai... read complete review

We had a good experience at the visa interview today.
When we arrived we were told my husband needed to fill out a form because their systems were down. It was quite detailed, asking for his past employers, past dates of travel to the US etc. The lady handing out the form was really nice and asked my husband to just fill it out to the best of his ability since the systems were down. Luckily, I had printed out all the forms we've ever submitted throughout this process, so we had the info on hand anyway and didn't have to try to recall it there on the spot.
I think the systems being down may have delayed the process a bit, as we were there for a full 2 hours.
The security people, the person who collected our initial documents and express post envelope, and the guy who did the interview were all very nice. In fact we were probably lucky the guy interviewing us had a good sense of humour. My husband was a bit nervous and made a couple flubs in his answers. (He said t... read complete review
