The consulate were so efficient and very friendly. My appointment was set for 1:30 and I was done by 3. That included the initial process with the lovely admin staff, payment, waiting time and then the interview with the officer.
He Just asked how we met, when we last saw eachother, what he does for a job. I was asked my finances cellphone number which threw me off guard as I am terrible with remembering things like that. I just said I didn't know and they appreciated that I was honest.
After about a 5 min interview he said my visa was approved and that I should have it within a week. I requested to pick it up and they said that is totally fine.

Very thorough but pleasant process. Went through all our documentation, asked a lot of questions around potential work options. Approved at end of interview, took about 45mins.

My interview was at 1:30 pm. I had arrived early at 12:30 but the guard told me to come at 1 pm. So I went at 1 but he told me to come back in 10 -15 minutes (I guess they were having a busy day). I entered the embassy at 1:15 pm.

I went to window 6 and spoke to B. Yes indeed she is a very lovely and helpful person. She asked me if I had all the required documents. I went to pay the visa fee and was told to sit down and wait. It was a very loooooong wait. I waited patiently and seeing 3 people get approved before me helped to reduce my nervousness.

At 3:30 pm I was the only one left and was called to window 3 and asked the following questions which took about 5-10 minutes.

-How and when did you meet?
-Was your religious ceremony registered?
-I had been refused entry into the US He asked me why I was refused entry?
-and there was another confusion in our application, which left me surprised. I cleared... read complete review

Consulate very good. Went in earlier, as my appointment was for 10:45, I went in at 10:25. The security guards are very friendly and after scanning you in, they tell you which window to go to. I went to the window, and the lady went through my paper work, and said all good and so I was told to wait for my interview. About 10 min later, they called my name, and a male officer interviewed me, the questions were standard...as follows....

"Where did you meet?"
"How much time have you spent together?"
"What does she do?"
"Where does she live?"
"What will you do in America? What does she do?"
"When is the wedding and wedding plans?"

OH, and you are told,to be sure you know to marry within 90 days. And the form you get from the medical... keep it, you need it for your AOS, so don't lose it

Be honest, answer every question honestly, it goes a long way.

All in all, very good.

Went smoothly. Got there early, the security guard was cheerful and helpful directing me which window to go to and when. First lady was polite, told me off a little for not have some extra evidence, but the told me the officer would decide. My fault, I guess.

The wait was roughly an hour from 9.30 till my interview, which took ten minutes. The officer was cheerful, asked how we met, what we both do, where the wedding will be and what plans.

All in all, awesome!
