Despite being incredible stressed prior to waiting for the interview, it went very smoothly!
I brought everything on the list and then some so I felt prepared but also worried I did not have everything.
I arrived 20 minutes before, my interview was at 9:15am. When I got in line, they were calling 9am, and the 9:15 immediately after since there were no 9ams waiting. Still had to wait for those in front of me who had a 9:15 slot.
Once they let me in, I gave my passport where a sticker was put on the back and two slips with my number were put inside my passport. Then went through security, and up the elevator to the consulate floor. Sat down and waited until my number came up on the screen. I was called up to the first window for document collection where they asked for the following:
- Passport & one of the number slips given to me during the security entrance
- Original Birth Certificate
- Original Police Certificate
- Original ... read complete review

My (Mia) interview in late May was relatively simple (thankfully!). It was at 8:30 AM (I think earlier interviews are generally better because there's less waiting: by the time I got out at 9:30, there was a long line outside), and I ended up arriving there at between 8:28-8:35 (I didn’t check exactly), at which point I was asked what I was there for and asked to go through the security protocols. I took a tote bag and was able to bring it in to the interview.
The first portion was very simple, though accompanied by about 30 min of waiting: I was only asked for my original birth certificate, original police certificates (which they kept), and the original marriage certificate. I think this depends on the person though.
After another 30 minutes of waiting, I was asked to go to another window for the actual interview. I was pretty nervous, but it wasn’t too bad! These are the general category of questions I remember:

The waiting process was a few hours, however it was painless.
The staff at the consulate know that everyone entering for interviews are nervous and they are immensely kind and helpful.
My appointment was scheduled for 9am.
I entered and was asked to remove all electronics and put them into a little locker. Took the elevator up to the first floor and sat down with my given numbers.
It took about 45m for me to be called for the first time. I was called up to a window to provide all of my documentation.
The officer requested:
- Passport
- Birth Certificate
- Appointment Confirmation (Showing that fees were paid)
- US Passport Style photos (2)
- Financial Support Documents
- Any additional documents of support...
The officer took all of my documents and advised me to return to my seat and the interview officer would call me up for the rest.
Around 11am I was finally called for my inte... read complete review

Our interview experience was fairly simple. My husbands appointment was on May 1st was 8:30 am. Don’t arrive too early as they will not let you in quickly. It was pouring rain that day, so be sure to come prepared for the weather as you will initially stand in line outside. They let him in around 8:45 and checked his passport and put a sticker on the back.
He was in the consulate for about an hour, if not that. When he was called up, they took his fingerprints and checked his documents. Then proceeded to the interview portion, which only took about 5 minutes. They basically asked him about me (his spouse), where we were going to live, why we were heading there, etc. They were very straight forward questions. Unfortunately they could not issue the visa that day because we had the wrong police report. They said it was common and to simply order one and mail it in with his passport. Everything else was good to go and that he was a clear cut case.
If this does happen... read complete review

Like most of the reviews the interview itself was what I had expected. I showed up a few minutes before the interview having already scoped out the building the day before (theres no exterior signage). There wasnt any line up so just had to wait for security to check everything out and then wait upstairs for my interview(s).
The first interview was with a lady who essentially just checked the paperwork to make sure it was all in order. I had a feeling they would ask for my wifes tax return which I had printed that morning so that was fortunate. I had 2 birth certificates one in english and one from my place of birth and thought I might be in a little trouble since it wasnt translated into English but since the other one was (birth abroad certificate) it wasnt a big issue.
The second interview was a little more in-depth and reviewed the DS-260 especially in the places where you might have run into a little trouble. I overstayed a visa and was denied entry o... read complete review
