The US Consulate staff are great!  The interview was a breeze, I was there for about 1 1/2 hours, but it was mostly waiting. The first lady came and got everything she needed from me, gave me some stuff back that she no longer needed, got the envelope (make sure you buy a big one as they need to fit the envelope we have to present at POE in there) and told me I could go for a coffee if I wanted to, my interview with the immigration officer would be about 20 minutes later. Oh, she also gave me a copy of my vaccination records to take to the US in case I they ask for it come AOS time. The immigration officer didn't see me waiting so I ended up waiting about 30 minutes or so. She was really nice, and just talked to me while she went through all the paperwork. There weren't really that many questions. I think it took about 10 minutes, at the end of which she told me that they would process the visa the next day (Friday) unless there were any problems and it would be in t... read complete review

We went through security quickly (they seem very nice if you show up with a baby!!) and went straight to the window. The lady came and we progressed our paperwork bit by bit. One thing they asked for that I didn't have was a copy of my CV/Resume. I did however have a copy of my university degree, and my Project Management qualification, so that seemed to suffice. This was all very smooth and easy enough (except for the poor lady and I trying to complete some maths sums without a calculator). The lady was very pleasent and talkative and made me feel at ease. After the paperwork she ran through the process of the POE.
We then sat down and waited to see the Comsulate officer. After a bit of a long wait (but seemed a lot longer as I was worried my csr would be towed!!)we were ushed into a separate meeting room (also a bit of a worry).
The Consulate officer was very nice, and all he wanted to know was how (logistically) we planned to get over there (as we have ... read complete review

My interview was at 9.30am in the morning. There was a queue at security but it processed pretty fast, I had to leave my handbag with the guard and just take my documentation through with me. Most of the queue were non-immigrant visa applications so I had the immigration counter window all to myself.
Once inside it took about 15 minutes before someone came over with my file. The lady went through my file checking that I had filled in all the forms, there was another person watching her and it seemed like she was in training.
There was some problems with getting my fingerprints done, it took several attempts before it worked. There were also problems with my passport photo, the photos I'd had taken in the USA weren't good enough as they were too far away, luckily I had some that I'd made myself to take to the medical etc so those were used instead.
I was asked for my sons birth certificate, even though he was not travelling with me, I didn'... read complete review

The people at the Auckland consulate are excellent - they are really helpful, answer any questions you have and just really try to make it as easy as they can for you (apart from the Security Guard).
I turned up at the consulate about 30 minutes before the scheduled interview. Jo was going to come in with me, but the security guard said she couldn't - he asked who was applying for the visa, and I said I was and that Jo is my fiancee, but he said she couldn't come in (The Consular Officer told me that she could have and that she would have another word to the security guard about it).
After entering the consulate I went directly to a window where a lady went through my documents and visa application part by part to make sure everything was there and that it was all OK. She told me that my Police Record hadn't arrived yet, but that they were expecting it to turn up any day. She asked me if I had been arrested at any stage and said that if I hadn't it should... read complete review
