We had such a positive experience with the Auckland embassy-- I couldn't be happier with the attention they gave to our case.
We were in a tricky situation, because our work visa for New Zealand was coming to and end, and processing from the USCIS side had taken way longer than anticipated because we had received an RFE. By the time the Auckland embassy received our case, our visa was due to end in 1.5 months. I made them aware of this and they (Elle, specifically) did everything in her power to speed along the process. She gave us an interview for 3 weeks after the date they received our case in office-- talk about quick! Elle was super quick to reply to email and really helped us through the process.
The day of the interview, my fiance and I went to the consulate. I didn't think I'd be allowed in, but they were fine with it! Our interview was scheduled at 9:15am, but my fiance wasn't called to the interview desk until around 10am.
The interviewer quickly flipped through our file. Below were the questions he asked:
How did you and your fiance meet?
What are your wedding plans?
What is your relationship to your financial sponsor? What does she do for work?
What do you plan to do for work in the states?
When do you plan to travel to the states?
After about 5 min at the desk, he advised our visa was approved and that it would be ready for pickup in 1 week. (We opted for pickup, as we live 5 min from the consulate!)
Overall, AMAZING experience with them!
