Be prepared with all your paperwork and the interview will go well.
I found the staff to be professional. There was a long wait as we reached 90 minutes prior to our interview. Please have your last two years of tax returns, because they will ask. It will take at least 14 days to finalize the visa so please don't make plans within that time period. Overall I thought the experience went well.

I slept over night in Kingston (well I barely slept because I was so nervous) so I could be closer to the embassy. I had a May 4 interview at 7:30 am. I got there at about 6:45 and joined the line for immigrants. I went inside where they check your bags and you have to walk under a detector. I went in a building where they give you a waiting number and a yellow sheet to write your passport number and address on in case you are approved you take it to DHL. Well I was so nervous I could feel my heart thumping in my chest. I took out a book about Prophets and Kings in the Old testament (very inspirational). It was about God\\\'s mercy on us and no matter how disobedient we are, He always come through... It helped me calm down. The first time my number was called, I went up to a window where a lady instructed me to take my finger print and told me she didn\\\'t have my marriage certificate, which I found odd because the email I got from the NVC specifically state what was sent in the packa... read complete review

Our appointment was at Kingston embassy on May 7th for 9:30. Lucky we had my fiancee brother drive us there so he knew exactly where he was going. If you have cellphones, lotion, handsantizer they have eager local ready to hold your stuff for a fee. Ok there was a small line but the embassy came to us asked for the interviewee name. Then she ask who I was, I said his fiancee. she asked for his passport and the passport pics. she sticked them in the passport and said to right your name lightly in the back. We proceeded inside through security. then went through another set of doors to a shed. We saw a lot of people sitting outside and could not understand why, so we sat down. Then I said to my fancee I think we are doing something wrong duh!!! Well we was to follow the signs past the shed and enter thorugh heavy glass door and get our number. We got our number and enter nother room. our section was on our right for all A visa. We waited about a hour and half before our number was called... read complete review

My husband had his interview on 05/10/2010. Prior to this date, I faxed him my 2009 tax return and W2. Because of all the reviews that I've read on this site, I knew that if he did not submit those documents, he would not be approved. Even though I was VERY clear about this when I explained it to him, for some strange reason, he did not give them the documents at the interview. He said he was nervous and they "didn't ask" for the documents. I love my husband dearly, but if we ever have to do something like this again, I'd have to do it myself to make sure it's done right :-).
Anyway, he was blue-slipped and advised that he would need a joint sponsor. I WAS FURIOUS because my income was more than double the amount needed for our household size.
THANK GOD FOR THE INTERNET AND MODERN TECHNOLOGY
I immediately got on the computer and located an email address where I could send a message to the consulate directly. I explained to them in t... read complete review

We had our interview in Kingston Jamaica on May 10. It was a good thing we left early because traffic was crazy and the embassy was a bit difficult to find. We had to stop several times and ask directions. We were surprised when we arrived that there was NO line outside. We walked right up to a lady and gave her the documents she requested (DS156,156k,157,4 passport photos,his passport,the paid visa receipt). She looked over everything and stapled a picture to one of the forms. The other photos she put inside the passport. We then went inside the first building and went through the security check (just like at the airport). You cannot bring cellphones or cameras into the building so make sure to leave them at the hotel, or you can pay one of the many eager people outside to hold on to them for you. We then collected our belongings and made our way back outside to the second building. Here we went to the counter and gave the guy the passport and the papers. He then gave us a number... read complete review
