No matter what you read it is still nerve wracking to be finally catching the lift to the 10th floor. The guys in security are really lovely and wanted to put us at our ease. I had a file of papers with me which I was allowed to take up after they had scanned it, everything else stayed. I didn't bring much anyway.
Sat to wait our turn to go up to level 59, and where taken up really quickly. Went through the 2nd security check and then into the main room. Only just took our number and were called to the window. The clerk was a bit grumpy and curt with me which just made me feel more nervous. She asked for the things that I had been asked to bring to my interview. Handed it all over and then we sat back down. We waited about 10 minutes and were recalled to her window. I had left a question on the form unanswered and she was really grumpy about that, but fixed it anyway. Then she started asking about my son and his K2 status. As we talked she told me that what I was planning would... read complete review

The US Consulate staff in Sydney Australia were AMAZING!
They were extremely friendly, helpful, happy and kind. They did there job and did it well, but made me feel very comfortable which helped me ease my nerves (I had so many). The CO who interviewed me was so super friendly, we got the job done (Believe me they sure did make sure all the boxes were ticked) but it was so great.
To anyone about to head to Sydney for an interview, rest assured they will take good care of you!

Interview 7th February 2012 10am.
On the night before the interview (6th Feb), I flew the redeye to Sydney arriving at 6am. This was a challenge, but necessary due to work on Monday and Wednesday.
Got a cab from the Airport and arrived at the MLC centre at about 9am. Went up to the 10th floor at about 9:05am and was told it was too early and to come back in half an hour. I came back at 9:35am and they checked my passport and ticked my name off the list. Then went through a metal detector and they x-rayed my belongings. I had a satchel bag that had my document folder, I left the bag and took the folder with me. Left my phone as well and they gave me a ticket for all my items and told me to present it later to get my stuff back. They were pretty nice, even after turning me away earlier for being early.
I sat in the chairs on lvl 10 and then was called to the elevator where they scanned a card and sent me up to the embassy (59th floor?) Outside... read complete review

I live in Sydney so I had no problems finding the MLC centre. I arrived an hour early and finished an hour early.
I went up to level 10 where the US consulate security check point is then was taken to level 56 (or something) to the US consulate where the interview takes place. Yes, their bullet-proof glass door weighs a tonne.
Total waiting time was 10-15 mins. I first had to have all my documents checked by a lady who made sure I had everything in order. She did not ask for my US-sized passport photos which cost me $20 for 2 prints at Royale Kodak (also in the MLC centre). She scanned the passport photo I submitted with my Pack 3. I had all the correct documents including the National police check with fingerprints!
Next I was greeted by a young American man who asked me the following questions:
* How did you guys meet?
* What is it about him that made you decide to marry?
* Have either of you been married before?

So here goes my review of my visa interview experience...or what I can remember.
I made it to the MLC centre about an hour before my interview. So I grabbed a coffee and sat outside until 8.30. I made my way up to level 10 and through to the security area. I checked my bags and waited for the elevator to the 59th floor. I made my way to the heavy door. And yes it is a bit heavy. Upon entering I took a number and waited to be be called to hand in my documents. This wait took about half an hour. It was pretty busy by the way. maybe about 6 or 7 other people waiting.
So I handed in my documents, had my fingerprints scanned and went and sat back down and waited to be called for my interview. There were 2 counters, one with a young gentleman and one with a younger lady. The one thing that I found strange though was everybody's interview can be heard by everyone waiting. It is all done over loudspeakers as the interviewers are behind glass.
So after sitti... read complete review
