We lined up at about 515 AM along with all the other Immigrant Visa Applicants. We were made it into the consulate at about 8:30AM. As soon as we entered we sat down on the metal benches and less than 5 minutes after being their my wife was called over the PA system to go to window 13. When we got there she was given a number and we were handed back some papers which weren't needed for the case. After this we sat down again. And at about 8:45AM my wife's number appeared on the screen and was instructed to go to window 14. This time they took her digital fingerprints of all 10 fingers. We sat down again after this. And about less than five minutes later my wife's number was displayed again and instructed to go to window 19. Here we were greeted by a nice young lady who I greeted by saying "Good Morning". She told us to raise our right hand and swore us in. After this it was almost like a casual conversation with her she asked me: "When did I meet my wife?", "Did I have any family there in DR?", after this she then asked my wife in spanish "Where did I work and What I did?", "Do you have any family in the US?", and "What is your husband's mother's name?". After this she told us that the visa was approved.   Overall the experience was very pleasant when dealing with the hard working State Department Staff. The only difficult part is the way they handle applicants outside. The facilitators that worked the lines need to improve upon their customer service skills.
