MLC Centre easy to find. Level 10 easy to get to. Security screening thorough and I found it very easy as I did not take anything with me except for my documents. They even commented and thanked me for making my security check so easy.
The lift to Level 59 absolutely flys! It was so fast! Security checks you again.
Take a ticket for visas and take a seat.
I was called quickly to the first counter. Photo taken from me (only 1), pre-paid envelope taken, fingerprints taken, medical taken. Very quick, efficient. Gentleman was pleasant. Sat back down.
About 5 mins later called to another counter. Very friendly, kind and understanding lady. She looked through the original petition, civil documents and affidavit. Delightful lady to speak with and made me feel really comfortable. I was overwhelmed and she certainly understood that the process can be draining. I commend her on her professionalism and compassion.
Then in... read complete review

My wife had a great experience with the consular staff in Sydney. She had coffee in the lobby before her interview. As described by others (keep in mind this is second hand info) you take a set elevators to the 10th floor where you go through security. You are than escorted to the top of the building where the consulate is located. All in all, the staff were very nice and only asked questions about us, for example how we met, where did we get married, etc.

Super easy -
Went inside the MLC centre passed some shops and hit the highest level I could go. Once there you're in another lobby, go into another lift and select level 10.
Once you arrive on level 10 you head over to the US consulate, asked to show your ID (passport) and your stuff is scanned like an airport. They then ask what documents you need to take with you to the interview, and you're able to take those.
Within minutes you're escorted by a policeman to another lift up to the interview.
Once you're on the interview level a nice man takes your passport again and buzzes you into the waiting area, you take the visa ticket.
Again, within 5 minutes you're called up and it seems all of the administrative processing is done, they take your documents on the checklist and for example confirm your US address. One thing they did ask me at this point was my fiance's phone number. I luckily know it off by heart, but the lady comme... read complete review

Writing this as reported by my fiance: His appointment was at 9 am.He didn't have to wait long. Security level was high. Interviewer was "friendly but efficient". He was asked a few questions such as how did you meet?, when?, have you been to the states? He was asked about the proposal, when we will get married?Also asked what I, the petitioner, did for a living.They talked briefly about my children.He thumbed through the papers quickly. (My fiance said he felt a little let down that it got only a glance considering all the agonizing work it took to put the packet together) He went in knowing he did not have police Certificate yet. Was told everything was in order pending the police clearance and was given instructions on how to sent it once it comes in. So basically a quick painless experience. He was in and out in about an hour. Still no Visa, but very close.
