We arrived at the U.S. Embassy at 5:25am. We stayed at Jardines Del Teatro (wonderful place and great hospitality) which is 1 block from the Embassy. As soon as got near the Embassy, buscones were calling to us asking us if we needed anything (we were well-prepared and its best to ignore them because many are scammers). There was several dozen people in line. We found our correct line to get in for residency visas. We got inside at 6:05am and went through security and sat down to wait for my fiancee's name to called. We got called to Window #16 and 7:50am and we turned her Visa documents. The CO (who was very serious, very professional but personable older man) asked her a few questions about our relationship and for her documents.
-Have you ever been married?
-Do you have any children?
-Does your US fiance have any children?
-Do you have children together?
He asked my fiancee these questions while I went to pay the rest of the Visa fee ($219 taxes i... read complete review

We prepped all of our documentation and reprinted all of the forms from the website with computer generated forms and applicaitons. Barcodes, and multiple passport photos in hand. the packets, documentation, medical, sponsorship (I-131) and all applicable documents were reviewed. the wait for the group of that day was very long. the screening was not so organized from the hired help for the embassy. Once in the embassy the audio was not in as great of quality to let the people know if their number was being called.
You could see who was prepared and ready to get a visa and who was not. the people that were not ready to be active citizens were D'Q'ed very fast and dismissed from the vetting process.
the rest answered questions. I will say that the first reviewer was not used to having someone with better English language skills correct information that was not accurate. (she did still include the incorrect information and the visa had to be repri... read complete review

I won't rate the consulate based on facilities because it has changed a lot due to the volume of applicants going there. When I was a teenager, I went to the Santo Domingo consulate for my IR2 visa and it was more comfortable. But the number of applicants has grown more than 10 times.
My experience with the consul was great. She greated us with respect. She was nice and asked questions very direct with a smile. While interviewing my wife, I think she noticed my wife was too nervous (my wife even had to think about my father's name). After that, the consul asked me all the other questions and we were approved.
For me, if they can improve access to the building once you get to the place, I would give them a 5. But staying in line for 50 minutes gave them a 4.

We got to the consulate at about 4:45am, and there was already people in line. Around 6 am they started letting people in. Fairly quickly we got called up to submit our form, and then a little later my fiance had her fingerprints done. After a little longer we had the interview and she was approved for the visas for her son and herself. I think we were out of there by 11:30 am or so.
I really don't have anything bad to say about my experience. All the people we dealt with were professional and friendly. The interview lasted less than 5 minutes. They asked my fiance where we met, one or two details of our meeting, and where I worked. I was asked the date we met, and we were approved.  It was a bit anti-climatic.
I did get to speak a little with the guy that interview us, and from what he said I guess the 145 pages of Skype chat logs were very effective in proving our relationship. So the moral of the story is document ever... read complete review

Very nerve-wracking! Many questions for both of us, but in the end we got the approval!
