Great experience. I was the first in and was immediately directed to one of the counters to hand over the necessary papers such as a Birth Certificate, Swedish police certificate (I lived in Sweden for a year), my affidavit of support from both my fiancée and my joint sponsor, the two pictures, etc. I had forgotten to fill in one place of residence, which the guy behind the counter kindly pointed out to me. I quickly added it and he asked me to wait. I then had to wait approximately 40 minutes after which I was called to a different window with the consul. He asked me a total of three questions (how long have I known my fiancée, where are we getting married, and where will we be living), asked me to raise my right hand and swear that I filled everything in to the best of my knowledge, and that was it. He was very nice and told me that getting married was the best choice he had ever made.
Because my wedding is the 17th of October and my original appointment was planned for the 9th of October, they had told me I could call to get it rescheduled as soon as they had my medical results in. When I called them, they had not received the results but made the effort to call the lab. Having found out that everything was fine, they called me back and told me I could come the 2nd of October. This was above and beyond what they needed to do, so I thought it was fantastic that they did this.
All in all, it's an experience that was infinitely easier than I had anticipated. The people at the consulate were very nice and helpful, so as far as I'm concerned they get a 5 out of 5.
