Skopje Consulate Review
Zlatko was originally scheduled to have his interview on Feb 27, but he was able to reschedule the interview for March 6, because it fit into our schedule better. I was nervous about him losing his interview spot, but when he called them, he was able to have the interview rescheduled. He called a week before his interview to confirm the change, and there was some confusion at that point, but they figured it out without too much difficulty. In general, Zlatko found the consulate quite helpful and accessible by telephone, so we encourage you to call them if you have any questions or issues, but make sure to ask to be redirected to the consulate department.
I arrived in Macedonia the night before the interview, which was nice because I was able to bring our documents by hand rather than mailing them. Unfortunately, I missed my plane (another story!) and arrived MUCH later than planned, so we didn’t have time to put our documents... read complete review

It took three hours from the time Hristina went inside to the time she came out. She later told me that most of the time she was waiting for the others to finish. She was the fist to be called to give her documents to the Macedonian employee. He asked a few basic questions in Macedonia and separated the documents that she wouldn't need and instructed her on the documents that she should take with her to the window when she spoke with the American consular.
She then waited the three hours and finally spoke to the American at the window. He asked a few similar questions and then gave her a small piece of paper that she should bring back to get her visa the next day. She said it was very easy and she wasn't nervous. We had no reason to lie or to worry. I was so proud of her and the way she handled herself. We have tickets for the 27th of August and we are excited to travel to America.

You line up outside the consular entrance of the embassy and wait for your name to be called. We had an 8am interview and we were there 15 min early. They started calling people inside at 8:10 a.m. The staff is Macedonian. They are generally smug and unpleasant, but not any more than most people in the Balkans who have not mastered the art of working with customers and not being jerks. If you are from the region, it will come as no surprise to you. Although the embassy's web site says that the petitioner is not required but may attend the interview, this is not the case. They will not let you in under any circumstances. You have the choice of doing the interview in Macedonian, Albanian or English. There is no reason so far as we could see to select English if you are less comfortable. Absolutely no advantage.
My fiancee's interview was handled by a Macedonian speaking employee of the embassy. Obviously it is not a private area as the other reviews suggest. You have to ... read complete review

Beneficiary's Country: Kosova
Embassy: Skopje, Macedonia
The interview was tough but in the end the CO was satisfied, but the visa wasn't issued until I provided a joint sponsor and proof of the dates of my trip in 2012. Many people going through the Macedonia embassy now are being turned away and need to come back with more documents or proof.
A second interview was not needed but an appointment to return to the embassy with additional documents was required (they would not let him show additional documents even though he had them with him).
Hubby went back to the embassy 11 April. His 11 am appointment was with the same CO. She took the papers and at 12:30 pm she told him they looked good and his visa is approved. She smiled and told him "Congratulations, welcome to the USA." Then she told him to come back at 4:30 pm to pick up his passport, brown envelope and instructions.
Note---The NVC sent instructions ... read complete review
