Thanks to the great advice found here in the VJ forums, I was at the consulate at around 6:00 am this morning and met two other VJ couples there. We kept one another company during the wait and really did have a lot of laughs together.
I won't go into details on security and the waiting area, elevator, etc., because it's been stated many times here.
I will, however, reiterate that if you are not keeping copies of EVERYTHING you submit, you may regret it.
I got ticket C2, but was the first called to a window. I didn't even have a chance to take a seat. When I got to the window, the woman didn't have my file and said she had to go look for it. She told me to take a seat and she would call me up again. About 15 minutes later, my name was called and when I got to the window, she informed me that she could not locate my file, that they had a problem with electronically processed files not arriving (or something) and that she would need to put a f... read complete review

My experience was like almost every other review on here.
I got to the consulate at 6am (since I couldn't sleep) and was first in line. The guard came out at 730am and I was in the elevator at 8am. I got C1 and waited 5 minutes until I went to window 1. I had everything in order so that only took 5 minutes. I then waited 10 minutes to go to window 7 where I took an oath and the CO verified my finger prints. She asked me three questions :
How did you meet your husband?
Where does your husband live?
What does your husband do for work?
She then grabbed a letter out of a drawer that said WELCOME TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
I was out by 845am.
Side note - They did not ask me for copies of anything. The first lady said she had copies already. I was asked for my marriage certificate and birth certificate (which were given back), my passport, two passport photos, my police certificat... read complete review

What a great experience!
As per the suggestions of everyone on VJ, we got to the consulate around 6:30. We made the walk from our hotel the day before, just to make sure we knew how long it would take.
Once we got there, we were the 4th in line. I told Hubby that the girl with the purse would be turned away, and the guy with the briefcase. Correct on both. I think both of them ended up just emptying the contents and throwing away their bags... they weren't messing around.
We went through security- super easy- walked straight to the elevators. Once the officer let us in the (TINY) elevator, we shuffled to the back, rode to the 19th floor, and were able to get a C3 ticket. They did not call the numbers in order. Windows 1-4 were for document intake, and I didn't go up with Hubby for that part.
About 15-20 minutes after document intake, our number was called to window 8. We had a SUPER nice officer who just basically had a con... read complete review

My fiancee's interview was June 28th. We arrived the night before via rail from London Ontario and tried to get a good nights rest.
We arrived to the consulate around 0650 and we were seventh in line. Everyone in line was real friendly and we quickly made friends with the couple behind us in line. At 0730 the security guards opened the door. As you enter the door a security guard will ask to see your "Appointment Letter" which is which is the packet 4 email. Make sure you print out all the pages because the last page has the case number which they look at. Once you pass the first guard there is a consulate worker just inside the door who checks to see if you registered for the loomis courier service. We just used the appointment confirmation email which has the 'reference number' on it which is what they are looking for. We saw two people turned away because they did not have this. Next you have to pass through a standard metal detector which was nothing. Just... read complete review

My wife's interview was on June 18.
I am american citizen and we have been married 24 years. My wife was worried since we purchased a home in michigan last September and started the immigration process in mid-august 2011. She "visited" our home in Michigan several times in the past 9 months and stayed as long as 1 month several times before returning "home" to Canada. She was worried this would " show up " on some record and somehow be a problem at the interview. it did not factor into the interview at all. we did meet one woman in line who had not seen her hubby for 7 months when she was turned away at the border because she took tools in her car when she visited her husband in minnesota. ( her husband was renoating a home he had purchased in MN )
We arrived 6:15am and were 2nd in line... we found out later that we lined up on the wrong side of the door... we lined up on the right next to the cigarette ashtray on the wall. When doors opened at 7:20 the guar... read complete review
