My interview was scheduled for 14th June 2011, but since I had all the documents ready I requested the Consulate to bring my interview date closer to end of May. My Interview date was re-scheduled for 24th May 2011. Consulate response to the emails is really very professional.
My Interview was scheduled at 9:00 AM on the day. Boarded the 1st Flight from Melbourne (Avalon Airport, 6:10 AM) and reached Sydney at 7:30 AM, lucky not to have delays in flight. Didn't wanted to stay at hotel the previous night as it is waste of money.
Straight away took the train from Domestic Terminal to St James Station (Closest to MLC Center) which took like 15 minutes in train.
Entered the MLC center 8:15 AM, took the Elevator to Lvl 10 (US Embassy Reception)
Checked my appointment details and told me to wait, where someone authorized directed me to Lvl 59.
Got in, took the ticket and waited before I was called to counter to verif... read complete review

It was pretty straight forward. Hardest part is the waiting, not losing your paperwork on the way (almost left it at outside channel 7 studios) and choosing the right elevator (which I didn't the first time).
Once you get past security and make it to where you're supposed to be and take a ticket it is just a matter of waiting and watching others on their journey.
I don't remember the questions as I have waited too long to write this review but they were easy enough. You will go from one widow to another, get your finger prints taken then eventually after alot of waiting you will get the O.K. and you will walk out of there with the biggest smile on your face and feel able to breath.
All round a pleasant journey.

As I am from Perth I flew into Sydney the night before and checked into my hotel at 11pm. My interview was for 8am and I got to the consulate at 7:20am but couldn't get to level 10 until 7:30am. I waited around for a few minutes before they opened up the reception and allowed me in, I was the first in for the day. After going through the security screening I waited in the front row of chairs until 8am, at which point the first row of chairs was allowed up to the 59th floor.
Once on the 59th floor I was first in and took ticket number 001 and was pretty much immediately called to the first available window. I handed over my documents, took fingerprint scans and was asked to sit down until I was called again. I was called back to the same window and the lady handed back my original documents and asked me to take a seat in the middle area until called by the consular officer.
I sat down for about 5 minutes before I was called up to the window by an American l... read complete review

Let me just start by saying that I had originally been scheduled an appointment for May 10th 2011, but since I have a job offer to start in the summer I requested an earlier appointment. I emailed the embassy my work contract and they immediately emailed me back and rescheduled it to the following day. Amazing.
Had my interview at 10am, I arrived at around 9:20am and there was no one queued up at all. I went straight up and waited my turn. Five minutes later I was called up to the first window where someone checks that the paperwork is all in order. I submitted the MRV and express post envelope and the lady returned all my original documents I sent with Packet 3. I then had to sit back down and wait to be interviewed.
Five minutes later a lovely gentleman interviewed me, he asked me...
- Have you ever had any trouble obtaining a US VISA?
- Is it both your first wedding?
- Do either of you have any children?
- When did you first ... read complete review
