So just adding my review
Basically I got there about 15 minutes earlier. The security were busy and I got held up cause 1 of the cards I had, had a recordable message in it and they couldn't work out what it was that kept setting off the scanner. Anyway managed to get up to level 59, waited for 3 mins before they called my number up to go through my documents. They lady was really nice, they took finger prints and went through a few more items and then asked me to take a seat till I would have my interview with the Consulate officer.
I waited around 5 mins before I was called up, i was surprised it was just in the open behind the glass, i pictured it to be in a office at a desk and private. Anyway got asked the following questions:
Have I been to the US?
Have I had any drama with the police?
When did I go last?
When did we first start talking?
So if it was online, what website?
When did you first meet?
Does ... read complete review

First.... TAKE AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE INTO THE BUILDING IN TERMS OF ELECTRONICS, NO METAL BELTS, ETC. THIS ONLY HOLDS UP THE QUEUE. 2ND.. everyone who has said the door to get into the waiting room for the visa interview IS heavy... no lie... and don't think, oh, right I'm a strong person... My fiance is strong and he said "VJ members weren't kidding..it nearly pulled my arm from my socket trying to pull it".
My fiance said the people at the consulate are wonderful, nice and reassuring. They treat you with respect, they let you correct yourself, they understand you are nervous, they aren't on a witch hunt or interrogration (much nicer than the Melbourne Consulate people!)
The interview, more than likely because its our 3rd marriage, was tough! The Consulate officer (a lady) asked him questions about me from birth to current. She flipped through the entire packet asking questions. There were a few boxes we didn't tick like what was my fiance's maiden nam... read complete review

we got denied due to a criminal act when he was juvenile (over 10 years ago). It most likely isn't sydney immigration's fault. but, it made for a pretty bad experience.

Was overall a very good experience!
Travelled on a 6:00am flight from Melb to Sydney to be at a 9:00am interview.
had a friend in Sydney who dropped me off at the consulate and made my way up all the different elevators. After going through security and being shot up to one of the top levels. I took a ticket and before I could sit down was called to one of the booths. I handed the lady (she was very nice) my passport photos, passport, aus post receipt and express bag and she asked when I was planning to fly to USA, which my answer was asap. She then told me that everything seemed to be in order and that if my interview goes well I would be approved. So I sat down again for around 10-15 minutes and chatted to the girl next to me who also was there for her K1 interview (forgot her name :S sorry). I was then called to the window where a nice guy got me to sign a form saying I would get married within 90 days of entering USA and also that everything I say in the inter... read complete review

Where to begin...my appointment time was 8am...so i got there at seven am because sitting at the hotel was making me more nervous, lol (stayed at the mercure, little more than walking distance but i would highly recommend). I sat downstairs until about 7:40 and then i went up to level 10 to go through security. after i handed over my bag i got told to go sit down until i was allowed up to level 59. after a few minutes i was allowed up, when i got to the floor they checked my passport again and then let me through the next door and told me to take an immigrant ticket. i was the only one up there so i barely sat down before i got called up to the first window. The lady was very nice  she took my passport, my express envelope, visa fee receipt, and the other couple documents they were missing before and then i went and sat down again. i probably sat down for about ten minutes (felt like more). before i got called up i could see the consular officer going through my file... read complete review
