My interview was very similar to all other reviews, I arrived at 7:30am, had no problems with security, I received ticket 2, so sat and waited my turn, the clerk reviewed my papers and told me they were great, she could see no errors, and to sit and wait to be called to the interview counter. When I was called and stepped up to the counter I noticed an approved stamp on my paperwork,so I guess the interview is to prove you are a being, and in my casual interview I was asked, who I was marrying, where and when we intended to marry, where we met, when was the last time we'd see each other, what my fiance's job was and what employment I hoped to gain, and so after swearing that all information I had supplied to my knowledge was the truth I was congratulated and told I had a visa. One small issue I had was that, when I was back at security collecting my belongings I inquired as to whether there was a queue at security at the visa collection time, (as I had elected to collect my visa the following day(Wednesday) in person), security informed me I couldn't collect my visa as the office isn't open for collection on Wednesdays, but because I'd been told I could, they made a phone call and arranged for someone to call me back to confirm if I could pick it up Wednesday or not, a clerk did call me later on and told me I had permission to come in on Wednesday, I was out of the consulate before 9 o'clock. So if you are interviewing soon and intend to stick around to collect the visa in person, better make sure that the office is open for collection the day after your interview, and the collection time is 3:30-4pm, so don't schedule any flights out too early. The procedure at the consulate was fast and smooth with all the staff members I spoke to helpful and kind.
