Arrived early and was second in line.
No problems at security - just like any airport these days.
Entered elevator - remember to face the back as they open from there.
Sat for a bit and visited with others.
Called to first of two interviews - paperwork clarified, with slight changes, fingerprints taken, and Xpresspost envelope given.
Returned to lobby to await second interview. Sworn in. He asked how we met(playing cards on internet), when did you meet face to face 2001, when were you married - July 2008, oh a long courtship - yes. What does your husband do? Works for IRS - small joke about not wanting to be audited.  Well, based on the information provided you are granted a conditional visa ( or something to that effect.) Your visa will come in approximately 2 weeks.
Congratulations!

I, the USC, wasn't able to go to the interview myself because of a previously scheduled business trip, but my husband just went today and was approved. Here is his really short recap of what happened:
Got to the building at 7:00, first one there by about 5 minutes. At about 7:30 they unlocked the doors and I went through security (like an airport), handed away my passport and had it returned to me with my new letter "A" and was told to proceed downstairs to wait for the security guard at the elevator.
At 8:00 I was called to the document window. She was friendly but a little disappointed with me when I told her I didn't have copies of my originals along with the actual originals. She made copies for me anyway ("just this one time"). She went through the I-864 and asked for various supporting documents - the 2008 tax return and any US bank statements (I think she had just overlooked the answer to Question 15 [we had written USA - see attached, with a l... read complete review

After having spent months compiling documents, letters, photos re: bonafides of the marriage etc, and organising them so I could access them easily, and having practised possible interview questions ad nauseum (expecting an interrogation), the experience was a pleasant let down.
I spent about 5 hours there, but most of it waiting. In total I probably spent 30 minutes talking to people. They did not want to see any of my extra documentation. In fact any time in the interview I veered off into background information she stopped me and told me to just answer the question. The actual interview probably took 5-10 minutes.
I am still happy I brought all my stuff, because I do not know if this is the norm. But whoooo. No complaints. Except they could have given me more than 2.5 weeks notice of the interview.

Super easy. I stressed out way too much! My fiance came with me. We arrived at the consulate around 12:30 and were asked to wait 15 minutes before entering. Cleared two security check points and was told to wait in a waiting room. We sat for a few minutes before my name was called (the called me by my name...you do not need to get a number). They called me up to a booth, took all of my information, and told me to sit down. We waited about 45 more minutes and then they took my fingerprints and asked me to sit back down again. About 15 minutes after that, I was called up to another booth for the interview. The woman asked me about how and when we met, what he does for work, what I do for work and about how much money we both make. She BRIEFLY looked over my proof of relationship stuff and then simply said, "okay, visa approved" :-D

Interview Date: May 26th, 2009
Medical: May 27th, 2009.
Everyone else's accounts of the details are pretty much how it went, they will collect your documents @ Window B and tell you that it could be an hour and a half wait to be interviewed. (Even though there was only 3 people being interviewed for K visas) I had the same lady it seems as another VJ member that interviewed the week before. One lady did not have her documents collected right away although she was the first person to arrive out of the three because she sat in front of the interviewing windows that said "non-immigrant" visas. She did not sit in front of the windows on the left where you get your documents collected and she was the last to be interviewed.
The interviewer had to ask me to come back on Wednesday in order for her to check that the misdemeanor that I was convicted of did not carry a minimum sentence of over 1 year. Even though I did not serve any jail time and paid a $225... read complete review
