After reading some reviews on this website I knew what to look for, however the interview was NOT without complication.
Arrived early (7.30am) for 8am interview.
Headed up lift just after 8am after dropping off bag to security
Only had to wait around 15-30 minutes before being called up by number.
Handed documents over and the girl handed my original documents back. She had to make more copies of some of the documents as they were apparently missing, even though I sent them ALL in Packet 3 My advice is to take extra copies of all civil documents in case they screw up and lose some (which they seem to do regularly)
Then I sat back down and girl seemed to take an eternity before handing file over to person doing interview.
Girl was in her 30s and stoned face. Asked me a million questions about my marriage, where I was married, when, who my wife's parents were, what am I going to do in the US etc.
Then we hit a snag around the I-864 as ther... read complete review

My appointment was at 9:30 am but arrived at 8:30 am as requested on letter. When i got at security they didn't have me on the list of approved visitors for the day. I panicked a tad for a moment but I showed them my letter, and they eventually added me in. I had to check out at hotel that morning so i had to leave my belongings there on 10th floor, that wasn't a big deal. I did have a water bottle with me, she told me i could keep it if I drank out of it first. She said if you are still standing after you can keep it lol
So anyway, got there, took a ticket, got called to a window. i guess they did have me for interview for that day because she had my file nearby. Provided them with my passport, took fingerprints and was told to go sit back. I was also given all my original documents back (birth certificate, police checks etc)
I waited until about 9:30am, then I got called to another window for interview. That went pretty good.
I was asked:... read complete review

I had a great experience for my interview on the 11th Feb. I arrived at 7.20am and asked reception where to go. He told me to wait until 7.45 before I go up to security on level 10. He also told me that lifts open at 7.30am...so of course I go up then haha. I had to sit outside the locked security door until they opened. Only 1 other person was there. As soon as they opened the door I went in, I ended up being first as the other girl didn't seem in a hurry. I handed over my belongings, keeping my documents etc, and they gave me my wallet. I was allowed to take bottled water, had to take a sip as others have mentioned. All very friendly...took maybe 5 minutes. I had to go through my bag to find some earphones...they ask you to hand over all electronic equipment and I didn't realise they were in my bag. Then up the lift to the consulate room. You walk in, take a ticket, then sit and wait. There were maybe 5 other people after me. My number got called up after about 5 minutes, I went to t... read complete review

I had a pretty good interview, very little was asked of me, and very little was required. I didnt need to submit any further documents. Everyone treated me well and the security guards even used a little humor to calm me down when I told them I was nervous because I was a little late. The only thing that wasn't pleasant was the interviewing officer, she was really grouchy and on the verge of being rude. Clearly she was stressed and not having a good day, she did not interact with me, and was almost aggressive. She gave me my piece of paper showing that i was approved for my visa, and when I asked if there was anything more she needed from me, since she hadn't said goodbye or given me permission to leave, she answered with "go now, go away". Who cares really, I got approved, but maybe she needed another coffee before she came to work

We arrived around 7.40 for my 8am appointment. My USC fiancé came with me (I just emailed the Consulate to let them know and they confirmed, so his name was added to the list).
As they were not open yet, we waited outside, third in line. By the time the doors for security opened, there was about six people in line.
Going through security was easy, just had to take out all electronics, earphones, cables, turn off phones etc. They told us we should take our wallets in with us. Gave them our bags, got tag, and before we even got to sit down in the ‘waiting area’, the first three of us were called into the next room.
After showing our passports to the officer we were buzzed into the main room.
Took a number and waited about 15 mins and was called to the first window who as normal, asked for the documents “you were asked to bring”, then was told to sit back down again. A few minutes later was called back to the window —... read complete review
