My appointment was for 8:15am 28th of April. I flew in the night before and stayed at the Oaks Hotel on College street (AU$156 for the night, the restaurant downstairs is good and you can take it to you're room if you're stressed), it's only 15 minute walk from the embassy.
I got to the MLC center 30 minutes early and good job I did because it takes that long to get through security because most people around you will not be organised for quick processing.
Tips to make it quick:
- DO have your paperwork in the same order as the DSL-1076 checklist they send you.
- DO print your name on the back of ONE USA passport photo (5cm x 5cm)
- DO NOT take your phone, iPod, iPad, laptop or anything else electric...just don't! They will really appreciate it and tell you they love you if you don't bring anything like that.
- DO NOT wear anything with big metal chunks on it, you are being screened just like at the airport. do them and yourself... read complete review

The interview went smoothly.
I arrived an hour early and they let me go through. I went in at 8:30 and finished by 9:45. My interview was booked for 9:30.
Sabe process as others. Level 10 for security as document ordering (the ladies literally just put your documents in order - originals and copies - and then in a file ready for you to hand to the first person you see on when you get to level 59.
It's really not that scary. But I work for government in a confidential role so I'm use to all the official business stuff.
When I got to 59 I was instructed to take a number and wait. When my number came up I was asked to present all my documents. The nice lady looked through everything and made sure it was all there and all correct. She asked me for my husbands phone number which I gave her. I was then told to take a seat and il be called for my interview.
The I interview lady was a bit snippy but still nice. She asked me:... read complete review

Straightforward interview with friendly staff today. A few points to add to previous reviews:
- The security screening/x-ray area on level 10 is small, and they only process one person through the x-ray at a time. Myself and half a dozen other people waited in line for what felt like forever behind a guy struggling with a massive tangle of cables, and then going through all of his documents multiple times trying to find the chest x-ray CD (because you can't take that up to the consulate with you). So please, for everyone's sake, don't take a lot of electronics with you if you can avoid it, and BE ORGANISED
- The security staff on level 10 really appreciate it if you don't have a lot of stuff with you. I just had my documents, wallet, and keys, and they actually thanked me for making it easy by not having a phone or bag.
- After security but still on level 10 I had my interview letter and document checklist reviewed by one of two girls. I had submitted photocopies o... read complete review
