I flew in the night before as I live in Adelaide. I would suggest if coming interstate by plane to arrive the previous day. I stayed at the travel lodge on Philips street which is right around the corner from then US consulate . So I would recommend staying there . Also train station is at the end of the Phillips street and costs $16 to get to airport. I took a taxi when I got there as I didn't know where I was and it was $45 bucks !!!!! So catch a train lol.. My appointment was at 930 am do not arrive any earlier then 15 minutes before interview time they won't let you in. At 915 am I went through they asked my name crossed me off the list. Had to go through security asked if I had any electronics I didn't left it all at hotel . Was much faster and easier not bringing anything with you. They then asked you to take a seat .
Officer calls you up and takes u into the left and says next stop . Arrive on level 10 and asked for passport then they tell you go through these doors and g... read complete review

Very much like every other Aussie review -- quick and painless! Took me about twenty minutes all up, from checkpoint to approval slip, and everyone was friendly and professional. Questions asked:
- Describe your relationship with your fiancee, beginning from when you first met.
- How did she propose?
- Why do you think Tracie is the one for you? (I laughed and answered "Because she calls me out on my shit") which he seemed to enjoy.
- What do you both have in common?
- What does she do for a living?
- How do you both keep in contact?
AND THAT'S IT. The officer flicked through the forms, handed me a slip and said "Congratulations, your Visa has been approved."
It's worth noting, having spoken to a few people who work in immigration, that Australia is basically non existant on the fraud radar. If your case is straight forward, the interview process is simply a formality.

I had my appointment for 9am so I rocked up at 8:45am and was greeted outside by 2 Australian federal coppers who asked what time my interview was for. I told him 9am and he checked his watch and said I could go through to a completely empty room, I was expecting it to be full of other people. I was then greeted by 4 security staff members. One checked my passport and ticked my name from a very short list. The next security officer gave me the whole 'take off your belt, shoes etc..do you have a mobile phone' talk before scanning them. The third security officer was standing around enjoying the air-conditioner and making jokes. The fourth one was a woman at the counter where you drop off bags etc, she asked if I had any bags to drop off and I said that on the form it states not to bring anything and they all cheered...clearly most people bring stuff with them that needs to be checked  She also asked me to take a drink from the bottle of water that I had and watched me... read complete review

WOW, it was a breeze!!
I had an 8am appointment, got there at 7:50 & waited at Level 10 for the office to open. Once i went in, I showed my re-scheduled appointment letter (was scheduled for Tuesday 24th but changed to Friday 20th) & passport, went through the security screening and left my belongings at Level 10. A guard showed me to the lift and I whizzed up to Level 59, with my wallet and a few papers they asked me to bring. Out of the lift and I presented my passport again, where the lady checked me off the list and unlocked the door into the interview area. I took a ticket and sat down. 2 minutes and I was called to a window to present my passport, my interview payment receipt, passport photo, Express Post envelope and my confirmation page. I was given my original documents back that I submitted with Packet 3, then I took a seat... the room was filling with nervous persons. I waited only 10 minutes and was called up again where a stern gentleman asked me a few questions. In... read complete review

K-1 visa interview review
After about an hours wait I had my interview. The woman interviewing me was pretty business-like (i.e. not friendly but not rude either.) She gave me my originals back and then started asking me questions.
Questions included:
- how many times have you been to the US
- when was your last trip and what was the duration
- what was the purpose of your last trip
- tell me about how you met your fiancee and the history of your relationship
- have you or your fiancee been married before
- do you or your fiancee have kids
- what does your fiancee do
- will she be able to support you
- what type of employment will you seek
- have you ever lived overseas (if so, where and for how long)
- have you met her family and what do they think of you
- has she met your family
- what are your plans for the wedding
- will your parents attend the wedding... read complete review
