My appointment was for 9:30 but thought I would go early just in case.
I got to the consulate at 8:30 and there was an area sectioned off
with ropes for us to wait in line. The line was very short for me.
As I got to the door the security guard asked me if this was an
immigrant or non immigrant visa... I ALWAYS mix that up. I'm an
immigrant visa. I asked the security guard if I could bring my phone
in and he says yes. I was shocked for all I had read and heard said
NO cell phones allowed. I then encountered a lady right inside the
door that asked to see my LOOMIS LETTER. I showed that to her and
proceeded to the end of the short lobby to the next set of doors where
the security guards are. I showed them my phone and they proceeded to
tell me no phones were allowed... WTH? So they took my phone... Put a
sticker on it... Gave me a ticket to reclaim it after and I was told
to go to f... read complete review

So here is my review... I thought I should pay it forward in gratitude for all the help I've gotten here. Special thanks to Saylin, DWheels, and Soloenta for their awesome forum pages.
Medisys review:
We arrived at 7:45 for an 8am appointment. The signs about where to go from the elevator were all in French but the receptionist spoke English and was very nice. She asked for the interview letter, passport, 5 passport photos and his immunization records. On the phone he had only said 4 passport photos, luckily I had a few extras stashed in my folder just in case. She asked us to fill out some forms, the first about immunizations, the second an ID page with his photo attached, addresses, etc… And the third form was 3 pages long with questions about his medical history. A female doctor called him at 8:12 am and now I am waiting to hear about the rest.
He came out about 5 minutes later, turns out the first part was bloodwork, height, weight, b... read complete review

(I'm writing this about 3 months later, because I forgot to do the review right away!)
The whole thing went fairly smoothly, even with one mistake on our part. My wife (then fiancé) didn't have her LONG FORM birth certificate; she only had the small one. The lady who was handling our case at the window was very nice about it, and although it resulted in an RFE-like delay, we did not have to come back to interview again, (huge relief.)
The medical exam was fine, and Dr. Cheema was very nice. He asked the usual questions; my wife has had some issues with anxiety in the past and he made an effort to assure her that anxiety is perfectly normal these days. She was able to take a bus up the street to the X-ray and labs, which the receptionist was kind enough to give detailed directions for. The exam was quick, 20 minutes even counting getting an immunization. It's helpful to bring your healthcare card for the bloodwork and X-rays.
I arrived in Va... read complete review

Just got back from interview. All went well -- approved.
My appointment was at 10:30, and I arrived a little before 9. There was only one person in front of me outside the consulate, and I got through security quickly. I walked straight to the elevator and must have been on the 19th floor by nine. The receptionist led me to an available counter right away, so I didn't have to wait at all. The person at the counter asked for passport pics, medical, birth certificate, marriage certificate, police certificates, and claimed that they didn't have my birth certificate yet and needed to scan it. She also asked about the petitioner's birth certificate, which I hadn't been asked to bring. I said so, and she seemed satisfied with it. She also asked for the I-864, but by the time I had pulled it out, she had found the one I had submitted electronically and didn't want to see the original.
I was done at the counter at 9:20, and then had to wait almost an hour until I ... read complete review
