I have to edit my review of the consulate that appears below. I gave them a generous 4 stars after my interview (even though they screwed up some before the interview) but I was in a good mood when I wrote the review. But given what happened after my interview, they're going down to a 1. Please note, you just CANNOT believe ANYTHING they say, because they will come right out the next day with "oops, that was wrong." I cannot conceive of how they keep their jobs.
We were told at our interview that we were approved and we would have the visa within a week to 10 days. After 10 days we called and we were told it would be a few more days. After a few more days we were told it was printing and it would be "maybe one more day, maybe 3." We asked our congressman to send an inquiry (as my fiance was trying to avoid re-booking his flight) and they sent a rude email to the congressman's office that really took that case worker aback, and we were told to sto... read complete review

May 2nd went to his interview appointment. He arrived at 7:15 and his appt. was at 7:45am. They let him in at 8:15, first a lady took all the missing paperwork, asked a few questions and told him to wait for his interview with the Counsel. He waited for about 40 mins until they were ready to interview him. The Counsel was very nice and pleasant, he asked a few simple questions like have you ever been to the US? Why do you want to go to the US?, where does your wife live?, whats her mother and fathers names?, Have you ever been to the West Bank?, When was the last time you saw your wife?, What do you plan to do for a living when in the US? He then took his passport said congrats and said that his passport will be returned to him with 10-14 days. Overall it was a simple and quick process. Good luck to all!!

At the time of his departure, My husband was unlawfully present in the United States for more than 180 days, but less than 1 year (from November 6, 2007 to September 11, 2008 – the date of the issuance of the NTA). INA §212(a)(9)(B)(i) states, in part:
“Any alien […] who-- §212(a)(9)(B)(i)(I) was unlawfully present in the United States for a period of more than 180 days but less than 1 year, voluntarily departed the United States prior to the commencement of proceedings […] and again seeks admission within 3 years of the date of such alien's departure or removal […] is inadmissible.” Italics added.
Since My husband voluntarily departed the United States after the commencement of his removal proceedings, he is not subject to the inadmissibility criteria as outlined in INA §212(a)(9)(B)(i)(I) or INA §212(a)(9)(B)(i)(II) or any other relevant section of INA §212(a),
which would make him admissible to the United States at the present t... read complete review

Got there really early, 7:30 so didn't wait too long. You sit in a waiting room that has the windows that you get called up to, first you get called and you hand in all the paperwork and forms, then I sat for another half hour and was called for the interview, it was short and friendly and on the spot was told that within a couple of hours after my fingerprints will be verified (given I don't have a crazy criminal past) the visa will be officially approved.
all in all, it was a good experience.

I had my interview last Friday (July 16th 2010). It was scheduled for 8:30am. I arrived at 7:45am and after a short wait outside the building was directed upstairs to the waiting room. I waited about forty five minutes before I was called to one of the 'booths' where I was asked to submit all my medical files. I was also told that my photo was not acceptable as my bangs were slightly covering my forehead so I needed to bring them another photo before they could process the visa. They confirmed they had recieved all the other necessary documents and sent me back to the waiting room to wait until I was called for my interview. I waited about twenty five minutes to be called up again, and was called back to a different booth for my interview. I didn't expect the interviews to take place the way they did, with four other people lined up in booths next to me, all answering questions like I was, through the glass, straining to hear. It was very confusing as you can hear what everyone else is... read complete review
