This interview was denied (the interview, not the visa) because our lawyer at the time sent us the wrong form to bring to the appointment. It caused us a big huge trouble and we needed to reschedule for as soon as possible, and thanks for the presence of my fiance at the time (now husband) we could speak to the consul. I'd strongly recommend for all the applicants to review the forms any lawyer sends (we reviewed everything but didn't have the knowledge to know this specific document was wrong).
Our lawyer sent us the form DS-156, that was supposed to be filled online (so it would generate a barcode). But he didn't fill it online, so we didn't have the necessary barcode to process all our case. This caused us to need to go again to the consulate in order to be interviewed with all the documents correctly filled.

The process went flawlessly, thanks to all of you.
We arrived, found the RIGHT line. (The K1,K3 line is not the same line as everyone else.
We had our paperwork in perfect order and as a result we were the first in, and first out. Appointment was at 7:15am, we were in line untli 8:00 and then through the three stages in 60 minutes. We were out of the consulate by 9:15.
I was blown away by the fact that none of the other folks had thier paperwork in order, one couple took the full hour just to get thier papers in the right order.
Now we just wait for the passport.

The long awaited day was finally here. My spouse and I arrived at the Consulate at 7:15 for our 7:30 appointment. As others have said there is a separate line for immigrant visas, this was on the opposite side of the entry door. I believe we were the last to arrive but everyone enters at the same time. The interview order is not defined by how early you get there but by the order the consulate has scheduled the meetings. Once everyone is in the holding room outside the 3 rooms, (1 interview room and 2 other rooms for document verification and finger printing)t he organizer goes over the process of putting your documents together and filling out 1 form which states general information i.e. address, rdj #, date, etc.
The coordinator gathers the forms of each interviewee by order of the consulate. Then you proceed to a room 1 and/or 2 in the same order. When you are at the window a consulate official goes through your documents they received in your case from the NVC ... read complete review

After your visa has been approved, you can say that the interview was easy, but up to that moment, it is high adrenaline all the way through.
I was the first person to arrive for the immigration line. I stayed in a hotel nearby, and walked to the Consulate. My interview was scheduled for 7:15 AM, and I was there at 6:45. Around 7:00 AM they hand out a stub with a number. They let us into the building around 7:30 AM. The same girl who handed out the numbers (there were only 5 cases; in 2 of them both the man and woman were present) tells you to get the documents out of any case or file, and stack them in order (it will be a good idea to get this done at home - the order of the documents is available on the embassy web site). Some of the documents need to be signed. Others need to have zip codes and phone numbers added. She will tell you to do it when she verifies them. You must answer the question of when you intend to arrive in the US, even if you have not made plans fo... read complete review
