Review Topic: K1 Visa

Where to begin...my appointment time was 8am...so i got there at seven am because sitting at the hotel was making me more nervous, lol (stayed at the mercure, little more than walking distance but i would highly recommend). I sat downstairs until about 7:40 and then i went up to level 10 to go through security. after i handed over my bag i got told to go sit down until i was allowed up to level 59. after a few minutes i was allowed up, when i got to the floor they checked my passport again and then let me through the next door and told me to take an immigrant ticket. i was the only one up there so i barely sat down before i got called up to the first window. The lady was very nice she took my passport, my express envelope, visa fee receipt, and the other couple documents they were missing before and then i went and sat down again. i probably sat down for about ten minutes (felt like more). before i got called up i could see the consular officer going through my file... read complete review

Review Topic: General Review

I would firstly like to start off with saying that the interview is ALOT more pleasant than you would originally think. The staff are friendly and as long as you have your paperwork done correctly you will be fine!

I had my interview at the SYD consulate at 10 am in the MLC centre. I went to level 10 (consulate reception and security area) as it said on the appointment letter and waited in line to get my passport checked. As you wait in line there's this sign that tells you to have the following documents in order for the reception guy to check it. It was just your payment, passport, postage bag, and appointment letter. So I stood in line awkwardly trying to get my stuff out of my folder. So if you can help it, have these out before you enter the line.

While I was waiting there was actually another women who looked as nervous as me so we just started general chit chat and she was actually from VJ! so that was really cool!! So another ti... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

My interview at Sydney was fairly straight forward.
I arrived at 9.30am for my 10am interview, but the consulate must have been pretty busy because I was asked to come back at 10am.
After going back at 10am and clearing security I was allowed up to the Consulate where I took a number and waited to be called up to the window. I only had to wait around 5mins to be called up.
I was asked to hand them my passport, my 3kg Platinum Envelope and my medical results. I waited while the lady checked over my file containing all documents and forms that we had submitted previously. She then scanned my fingerprints. She told me all my documents looked to be in order and asked me when I was planning on travelling. I was then asked to sit back down and wait to be called again for the interview.
I only waited about another 5mins before being called up to a different window for the interview. I was asked the following questions:
Is this my first marriage?
Is ... read complete review

Sydney US consulate was amazing!
They respond to emails VERY quickly! So if your a stress-head like me- dont worry- they are great at answering all questions.

First off...It took FOREVER to get my NOA2! but as soon as it arrived in Australia things went so quick!
I had my packet 3 ready to send off (i had my medical done as soon as my NOA2 was approved!) and included in my packet 3- I wrote a letter asking for the nearest available interview time as I will be a god-mother very soon over in the states!
Within 3 days of sending my Packet 3 they sent my packet 4! with an interview date only 1 week away!

They stressed me out at first by sending the wrong checklist saying I hadnt done a few things-which I knew I had done...but then after a quick email- they sent me a 'revised' checklist.

Interview was EASY-PEEZY!...I drove in (I live in sydney) parked in the convention center car park (much cheaper!) and took a taxi to the M... read complete review
