That morning I tried being there at 6h30 but ended up arriving at 6h50 or so. There were two people in line before me.
You'll tell if you're at the right place because you should see a bunch of people just holding a file in their hands.
Some people arrived after, with bigger bags.
I was worried because when the guard opened the door, he put up a sign that listed all things you cannot bring in with you. A cellphone was listed among them.
I asked him as I went in, and he said it was ok.
You enter the building one person/couple at a time.
Left right after entering a woman will ask you for your confirmation letter and your passeport. She will take the loomis number I believe, write it on a sticker, and put it on the back of your passeport.
Then come the guards. Kind of scary. Try to avoid asking questions. I was kind of confused as to who would give me a number as I read something about a ticket # here.
The guards wil... read complete review

I had my interview on September 11th and it was so simple! I was nervous for no reason at all 
I arrived at 6:30am and I was the first one there. I stupidly forgot to bring a sweater and it was chilly out so I decided to go to the Tim Horton's around the corner to get a coffee. By the time I came back, around 6:45, there was a man and a couple in line. We waited until 7:30 on the nose, the guard came out and opened the door. DO NO BRING ANY BAGS! The first man in line had a small laptop sized briefcase and they said it was too big and refused to let him in. If you want to breeze in and out make sure you carry as little as possible. I had my paperwork in a plastic folder, a wristlet and a book to help pass the time. The guard let the couple and myself inside the doors where were were asked by a woman sitting on the left hand side to show our PASSPORT, INTERVIEW LETTER, and LOOMIS CONFIRMATION PAGE. She wrote my DHL reference number on a sticker and put ... read complete review

My wife had her interview on September 11 and I accompanied her, as we are both living in Toronto.
Stayed at Hotel Zero 1 which was about a 7 minute walk to the Consulate and we were second in line behind one man when we arrived at 6:45. Just after 7:30, they opened the door (were about a dozen people behind us at this point), a guard came out, and informed the man in front of us his bag was too large. He then waved my wife and I inside, so we were first in the building! Right inside the door was a lady who asked to see my wife's appointment letter, passport, and Loomis confirmation. She also asked to see my passport and, as a US citizen, I had no problems being let inside. Then we went through a metal detector. Much better than the airport; shoes stay ON!! Were then told to go down some steps and wait by the elevator. At 8:00, guard from the metal detector came and took down a barrier that was in front of the elevator, let people on, and told us to push the bu... read complete review

All in all, experience was very good. Get there early and you will get out in time for a celebratory breakfast! I was inside the consulate for about an hour.
My appointment was set for 10 am but I arrived really early (6:30am) due to the recommendation of fellow VJers. I got there way too early and was the only one there for an hour. Then a couple showed up at 7:30am and we waited until they opened the doors. Others have stated there was a line up when they got there early, so it will depend on many factors. Get there early to be safe, so you don't spend the entire day waiting. It's first-come, first-served - you get a ticket and wait. So get there early if you want to get out early.
VJ advice states to have your appointment letter ready - TRUE. It's the first thing they ask for. Have your passport ready too.
It's true - no cameras or large bags including back packs. A man had a carry on piece of luggage and was immediately accosted by a ... read complete review

Wow- approved! I just came from the interview and I thought I'd update it immediately before I get wrapped up in moving.
So... arrived at the consulate at 6:45am and there were 3 groups ahead of me. Met another VisaJourney young woman that arrived just after I did. Waited until 7:30am and then they let us in. Make sure you have your print out with your Loomis Reference ID number on it. This was the first thing they asked for. I also had my Interview letter out as well as my passport which the lady looked at. Several people in the line were told to leave with their bags and extra belongings. If you can manage it, I would recommend only having your document folder and put your ID/credit card or whatever necessities in your pocket. Don't bring a purse/cellphone/keys etc but if you have to then they can keep your cellphone/keys downstairs in security but it is just another snag. Then we went downstairs and eventually in the elevator up to the 19th floor. Myself and two othe... read complete review
