We had a pretty bad experience at the Consulate. Despite being told that I (US citizen) could attend the interview with my husband (Kazakhstani citizen), they wouldn't let me in at the door. They promised that the consular officers would speak Russian with my husband (his English isn't great), so I shouldn't worry. In fact, the consular officer refused to speak Russian to him even when he asked, so he was forced to speak only English. Naturally, this made him really nervous and he confused a few dates during the interview.
We received a 221(g) refusal because we were missing one document. Not a big deal, but the consular officer was so rude to him about the whole ordeal. I was shocked because other reviews here say that the Consulate is very friendly to immediate relatives. I guess that's only true if they speak fluent English.
