First and foremost, I want to let everyone else who is going to go in for an interview to not worry! They are perfectly lovely and professional!
I arrived at the MLC center really early (approx 7 am) for my 8 am interview. There is a food court downstairs to have a bite to eat and coffee if anyone was planning on doing that.
I tried to get up the elevator to Level 10 for the security check but it was 7:28 and you can't get up there until 7:30.
Security screening require you to show passport and check your name off a list. They then ask for you to take all electronics out of your bag (ipods, phone, camera and even earphones) then proceed to screen your bag. Any drink bottles, you have to drink out off and then they ask for you to take your wallet out of your hand bag and check your bag in (given a number).
You sit in rows of chairs and wait to be asked to take the elevator up to the 59th floor. Once up on the floor, the guard a... read complete review

Oh my gosh I can\'t tell you how good it feels to click on that \"Approval\" button on my VJ Timeline!
What a day! Up at 4am for a 6am coach to Sydney from Canberra with my 3 kiddos. The charge on the iPods didn\'t last as long as I\'d hoped but had some jelly babies on back up.
So, got to the Consulate at 10.30am and went up to Level 10 Reception, all through Security and then straight up to the Consulate. In the foyer of the Level 10 Security there is a huge photograph on the wall of Glacier National Park in Montana, just near where there kids and I will be living.... took it as a good sign
Showed my Passport to a lady before she buzzed me into the Consulate. Collected my ticket to wait and sat down. Poor kids, after 4 hours on a Coach they now had to sit patiently until we were called. After about an hour we called up, they were pretty busy. The lady had our file there, several inches thick, and gradually went through the process ... read complete review

Got the at 10.30am for a 11.00am interview. They check your appointment letter and passport and then you go through security on level 10 - you have to remove any electronics from your bag when it goes through the scanner, remove shoes etc. Can take water bottles with but have to take a sip in front of security. Then you sit and wait until called by another security guard and he sends a group of you up to level 59. You go to another window and show your passport again. They then buzz you into the consulate through a big glass door. Take a ticket and have a seat. When your number is called you go up to the respective window where an officer will take your passport, prepaid 3kg envelope, and your proof of payment. At this stage they will give you back all your original documents and either tell you that your documents are in check, or that they need a copy of something. A few people before me had not submitted all the correct documents in their pkt 3 and thus were told to send them in aft... read complete review

My interview was scheduled at 8am, I arrived at 7.45am and the doors had just been opened, there were a few people waiting in line at the security check point on level 10, passport sighted and checked off against the interview list, everything goes through the x-ray, its more strict than an airport check point, liquids are allowed, but the guard must see you drink from the bottle before taking it up stairs, they asked me to take any paperwork and my wallet with me, the rest stayed with the guards.
take a seat to wait for the elevator, guard requested you step up to the elevator and sends you up to level 59, second checkpoint, passport sighted, checked off against a list for the second time, he buzzes you through the door, 'take a ticket for immigrant visa and take a seat' I was the 4th waiting, I waited about 30mins before my number was called to the window.
first part was checking paperwork, and fingerprints, signing one of my documents, can't remember which on... read complete review

I was dead nervous for nothing! Even with a previous overstay (of 5 days) and a denial of entry at LAX I was approved for my K1 in Sydney. I just made sure I told the utmost truth in what happened and why.
She didn't really ask me much about my fiance all that much, as I had a sworn statement with US immigration talking about our relationship. Her questions mostly focused on my overstay. I hope this helps anyone with previous run ins with border protection.
