We arrived in SYDNEY the day before our interview. We landed at the airport and took the train into the City. Trains are located one level down from the baggage claim. It costs about $12.20 and because we stayed at the infamous Travelodge on Phillip St we got off at St James station, about 15mins ride from the domestic terminal.
We took the Elizabeth St exit, turned right onto Elizabeth St and then right on King St and then left on Phillip St. It is about a 7min walk from St James station to the Travelodge. There is an entry on Elizabeth St, but it really is for the pokies. You can take this exit but will be walking through the bar and pokies with suitcases!
The Travelodge is a 3 star hotel. We were there for 2 nights and got a centre room. These rooms overlook a fake painted Italian Villa courtyard and the other rooms on the opposite side and there is no access for guests. This hotel is good for 1 or 2 nights but not really anthing longer than tha... read complete review

The Interview all went great with no hiccup. The US consulate personnel and consul officers are friendly, professional and respectful. All instructions I received were very clear. I was only asked minor questions even though my USC husband and I brought a big suitcase full of evidence of our marriage and ongoing relationship. It did take us up to 4 hours. It was a very happy experience overall.

can pre-pay tram and bus and train tickets at the station,
through a ticket vending machine.
Then got to my Hotel... Aarons on Ultimo Rd.around 10.00am
Dropped of my Luggage there,
as my room wouldn't be ready till 12.00pm Midday.
So I walked all around Chinatown where Haymarket is.
Across the road was "Paddy's Market"
where you could buy anything, for a price.
They even sold wigs there and I thought...

YAY!!! Our Visa was approved on 14 November!
Our appointment was for 8am, so we aimed to be at Level 10 by about 7:30, so we were able to get through security and beat the rush. We went through the security there (giving them our appointment letter and identification) and sat down (we were in the first row). We didn’t have to wait too long until our row was called to go up to the 59th floor. We waited in another line on Level 59 for security. We had to present them with our ID again, turn off mobile phones and put everything in the bins to be scanned and we had to walk through another security gate. The consulate does not allow cameras or camera phones to be taken in so if you have one they hold them until you come out.
We entered the consulate at about 8:15am and took a ticket for immigrant visas. We sat down until our number was called and we went to the first window. The lady checked that we had everything in order, we had everything out of sleeves (... read complete review

I arrived in the city about 6.30am for an 8am interview (I wasnt taking any chances on being late as I usually am for most things lol) Sat down in a cafe to drink lots of coffee to keep me awake as I hadnt slept all night.
Arrived in the foyer of the MLC building at 7.15 and met up with andy (another VJ member who was seeking a K-1 visa) Was kinda soothing having another member there. Just after 7.30 we took the lift up to the 10th floor and waited for the doors to be opened to the US Consulate waiting area. I was 4th in line to go through first lot of security. I was asked if I had anything metal on me before he did a body scan with a hand held device. 'Does underwire in a bra count cause Ive had that set these off before' He laughed and said 'we'll see in a minute'. All was cool  no having to take my bra off this time lol Collected my belongings and said 'Thanks darlin''.....oops thats #1 for saying darlin'. I told him I'm working on not saying th... read complete review
