My appointment was at 8 am and I went there the day before and stayed at a hotel. It was only a 5 minutes walk from the embassy, although I wasn't able to sleep the night before - partly due to nervousness, partly due to the hotel being creepy... :-/
The day of my interview, I went there 15 minutes early (just like the instructions had told me to  ) and luckily the line wasn't very long either. I used the "immigrant visa line" which was even shorter than the other one.
When I got in, I was called to the first window pretty quickly, where the lady just picked my passport and told me to sit down again and wait a little more. She also asked me whether I've done the medical and told me the person at the next window will explain everything about POE to me.
Which she did (told me to not open the one envelope, hand everything to the officer at poe, get married within 90 days and not to leave the country till I have the greencard), only a couple of minu... read complete review

My appointment was at 8:30 am. I stayed close to the consular and got there at 8:00 am. I joined the immigrant visa line, which is on the right and handed over my passport and the invitation letter (packet 4). I was given a ticket number. Went through security. And totally forgot that the results of my medical exam were on a CD among my documents, so I had to leave them at the door and pick them up on the way out.
Once inside, the person at the information desk asked me for my ticket. I was told to sit at the far left corner of the room, wait for my number to be called and that should be desks 23 and 16. In about 25 min I was called to window 23, where a lady collected my passport and the DHL label ('express marke' and not 'express brief' which I first have sent) and gave me back my proof of ongoing relationship. About 30 min later, I was called to window 20, where another lady (German) asked me about my birth certificate and then she explained the POE process (the br... read complete review

My appointment was at 9am. We live only an hour away from the Consular, got there at 8.45am with my 3 yr old. We joined the immigrant visa (right) line, handed over our passports with the packet 4 and was given a ticket number. Went through security. I was initially worried as we had come armed with pack lunches..sandwiches, chocolate penguin, juices, oranges, the whole nine lol!!! But was told it wasn't a problem, I think they were more concerned about any electronics.
Once inside, the Info Desk Personnel asked me for my ticket, I was told to sit and wait for my number to be called on the far left side of the room. Five minutes later, was called to window 23 where a lady collected my passport. An hour later, we were called to window 21, where a Consular Personnel gave me a receipt back for my DHL label, went through all the info on Part I of the DS-230 form to ensure they were correct, then he explained the POE process (the brown envelope that is sent back along... read complete review

My appointment was at 8.30 am. This is the time you have to be at the gates of the embassy. I went there by tram and had my backpack with phone etc stored at a booth next to the train station (it costs 5 Euros, but it is save there). There were two lines, one really long one and a short one. I asked the guard guy where I can line up and was pointed to the short one. After a bit of waiting, I was called to the window and handed in my invitation and passport, and was given a slip with a number (W610). Then I went inside for the security checkup, which was an overall pleasant experience. Then I went inside the hall. It is just as described, a big hall with lots of chairs and several numbered windows all around. I sat down and was after a while called to window 23, where my passport was taken and all my docs checked (I didn't bring anything with me but my passport and the incvitation). The woman said "It's all there, and in perfect order"  Then she told me to sit down an... read complete review

My appointment was scheduled for 8.30, but I arrived by 8:00 because I was nervous and couldn’t sleep. There was a security guard in front of the entrance who asked me what I was doing and I told him I was early for my appointment (it says that you should not be earlier than 15 minutes on the website). The guy was really friendly and just said to go in. Both lines were almost empty, but that may have been due to the fact that it was raining. I got on the right line and didn’t have to wait long to go to the entrance. The man did not want to see my invitation, but only my passport. I was assigned number W607.
Next, I had to go through security. A guard outside asked for my electronics and etc. You have to put small things in plastic bags. I had to take my watch off, but I was allowed to put it in my own bag. The security is similar to the airport security. Your bag will get scanned, and you have to walk through a machine.
After that, I had to walk to an... read complete review
