It was so uneventful, my husband barely spoke of it.

Well I only have good things to say about the US Consulate in Auckland 
They were very helpful from the moment NVC sent me an email informng me they had sent my petition away. I called Auckland and they looked up my case and called me back to let me know that they had the electronic version and the hard copy would be there in a few days.
I got the paperwork quickly after that (please look at NZ Embassy page to see what you can do in advance) and from this moment things moved very fast!  I called the consulate and told them I had already booked a flight out of NZ for Jan 16th so they made a note on my forms that I would like an interview date ASAP. I sent my forms back the same day I got them and a couple of days later I got my interview date... Jan 22nd. Good but I wanted it earlier.. so I called the consulate and they were able to move my interview date forward to Jan 10th!!! (Luckily my medical also got moved for... read complete review

Our experience with the Consulate was very good as per the other reviews I've read here. For some reason the letter scheduling my interview was returned to sender which prompted the Consulate to call me the day beforehand to see if I was still coming. While the time frame wasn't ideal we had everything we needed anyway so I was quite happy to get in before the Christmas holidays.
I paid my visa fee at the post shop and went up to level 3 for the interview. The guy on security was very nice and once he took my phone off me pointed me to a window to hand everything over. It did take about 10 minutes for someone to come to the window after I had rung the buzzer but the lady who did show up was very nice and showed me the returned letter that had been sent back to them. Not quite sure why that happened as the address was correct but by this point it was no big deal. One more form to fill in for good measure and I was told to have a seat and wait.
And wait I di... read complete review

Our experience working with the US Consulate in Auckland was excellent. They were extremely helpful in answering our questions and sending information prior to our interview, very accomodating with our schedule and answered emailed questions very quickly - sometimes within hours!
We had our interview at 8:30am so arrived shortly before to go through security checks. You are not allowed to take any electronics into the consulate including mobile phones, have to demonstrate you can drink from any liquids, obviously have passport, appt letter etc. and have any bags/coast x-rayed.
We were the only people there when we arrived so were seen very quickly.
They had our file waiting and then we handed over all the required documents and copies; I-864 plus supporting docs, I-130 (we went to NZ to file everything there), photos, marriage certificate, etc. We were not asked to provide any additional documents/information/relationship proof etc. although we had... read complete review

I moved to NZ in 8/2004 to live with my husband while he finished up his career. In January 2006, I called the Consulate on their line for Visa inquiries (not free) and asked if I could file the I-130 in Auckland for my husband. They said yes and sent me the initial package of forms and instructions. I received the package about 3 days after my request. It contained the I-130, I-864, DS-230 & DS-2001 plus a multitude of instructions on how to fill them out, what documents would be needed and how to file it all. Very comprehensive instructions and very clear. We began gathering the documents we did not have and on May 30, 2006 (2 years after our marriage  ) we filed the I-130 around 8:15am. If you live in Auckland you can drop in to file the papers between 8-9am Mon-Fri. They are closed on US holidays as well as NZ holidays so check their calendar on their website to be sure they are open.
The Embassy is on the third floor of the Citibank building. This b... read complete review
