Overall the process went very smoothly except for one wrinkle: The packet 3 instructions stated you needed a police certificate if you stayed in another country for 12 months. My fiancee was in another country for 11 months but when we handed in the papers the police certificate was marked as required. When we went to the window again to be interviewed, I asked the consular officer why it was required if the packet 3 instructions did not list it as a requirement. He agreed that it was not required but wanted proof that my fiancee had only stayed in the other country for only 11 months...
We noticed (since you can sometimes hear other people being interviewed) that if the beneficiary was there by themselves the first question was "Where is your fiance(e)?" and there seemed to be more questions about the relationship. I was surprised when the consular officer sworn us both in and interviewed us.
No cell phones are allowed in the embassy. You have to drop off your cell phone at the guard post and are given a ticket # to collect it later.
We were 14th in line and the process took all morning.
