Found out about my interview date two weeks in advance by mailing to the U.S. Consular office in Jerusalem. Even though they claimed mailing package 3 and the appointment letter , I never got them! While being mailing qaedtions to theit mail, the response was coming back in 1-2 biz days what is really appreciated.
The interview day was going smooth, with almost moe waiting time (maximum spent time there was about an hour) until I recieved 221g for a police certificate document which apparently had to be sent directly to the consular office...what wasn't clearly stated on package 3:
"...Israeli citizens or Jerusalem ID holders (laissez passer) may request a police certificate for use in their immigration visa application be sent directly to the Consular Section by applying at their nearest police station."
MAY does not equal MUST .... nevertheless they gave me my passport back and told me to bring it back once they recieve the police certificate and call me...... read complete review

Husband arrived at 7:30 for an 8:30 interview. CO did his interview in English, even though hubby wasn't sure of himself..he didnt trust his English. The CO made him very comfortable, and asked him many questions. My husband answered each with relax..no stress. CO said he is approved and will have his visa within 2 weeks..they will do the final checks on his file. Inshallah this is almost complete for us.

The staff at the Consulate were very nice and helpful. They consistently returned our e-mails and even allowed us to be re-scheduled for an earlier interview date due to the issues we had with the CSC office mishandling our case.
We arrived very early, 6:30 and were able to get parking although it seemed parking wasn't much of an issue as there is ample ability to park on the street below the Consulate. I am the petitioner and was allowed into the building because I e-mailed the consulate beforehand for permisson and printed out the e-mail from the Consulate which stated I could go with my Fiance into the building. However, they stated it would be up to the Consular officer if I would be allowed into the actual interview, which I wasn't allowed but its all one big room so I was basically right there anyway. If you want to go with your fiance to the interview, I would suggest e-mailing the Consulate because the guards aren't allowed to let you in unless you have an e-mai... read complete review

Was told "your case looks pretty good" but asked to bring a document from the ministry of interior with my exits and returns being my return into Israel from the US that I noted as 08/08 in my DS-230 was not stamped into my passport(used a hand print entry). Originals were returned but so was passport.
05/06/2013: Brought said document less than two hours after interview was done.

Basically like going to a teller at the bank. You stand and face an employee who goes over your application and asks you questions about everything. The payment instructions were completely incorrect. They said that they would not accept credit cards nor cash nor anything except like a certified check from my bank. So I did paid the fee and when we got there was told that good ol' Visa/Mastercard would do just fine.
they have to review the mailers they send out. It seems they are completely disorganized interms of office procedure. However, the lady who conducted our interview was nice and courteous. The wait wasn't terribly long. Security was tight, of course, as East Jerusalem is a hot spot, and politically charged.
