If you're prepared this will be the easiest part of the journey. My interview was on October 17th. To start off, the Consulate is like on the side of a main street, if our Uber driver didn't point it out we wouldn't have noticed it. Although there was already a line up outside. The security guard was nice enough, he slowly let people in when it was time for your interview. There is a person at the entrance who looks at your passport, puts a sticker on the back, gives you a laminated piece of paper. Then you go though "airport" security, you empty your jacket pockets of everything, put all your belongings into a box, goes through. You get a ticket for your electronics, keep this with you.

First everyone was told to go downstairs and wait in a room, here you can organize your paperwork the laminated paper will tell you what you need. Then the guard will tell you when you can go upstairs - you take the elevator up to the 19th floor. The view is awesome.

It was a pretty short and seamless experience if you are prepared. I actually think I was over prepared, because I didn’t even need to show them half the documents I brought, but I think it’s smart to bring as much evidence as you can just encase they request it. I entered the building at 8:15am for my appointment at 8:30am. I was greeted by an officer who asked for my passport, she then gave me a laminated sheet with a number on it and instructions of the order of specific documents you need to have ready before your appointment. I went through security and then took the elevator to the 19th floor. I sat in the waiting room for around 45 minutes before they called my number and was instructed to go to a specific window. The woman there then asked for the documents that were listed on the laminated sheet, asked me a few questions to make sure the information from my file was still up to date, and then took my finger prints and I was instructed to go sit back down and wait... read complete review

Had my interview this morning at 8am EST.
We got to the consulate around 7:45am and there were already a few people waiting in line. The security guard began to let people in based on their appointment times, so myself and another woman were directed to go in before the people in front of us. The check-in lady asked for my passport right away and I was directed to go through security. I didn’t bring my phone, so I put my binder and wallet inside a bin and walked through the metal detector.
They give you a laminated paper with a number and a list of documents required for K1’s. Once through security, I took the elevator up to the 19th floor and took a seat. They began calling numbers to assigned cubicles where they asked for your documents and took your fingerprints. After that, numbers were called again to a different cubicle where the actual interview took place. Here are the questions I was asked:
1. How did you and your fiancé meet?
2. ... read complete review

Fantastic consulate! Everyone was super friendly, yet professional. Arrived at 7AM on the dot and they opened the doors at 7:30 AM exactly. As everyone has described the process, they let you in by two's where they look at your payment receipt (the one you get when you book your interview online in your email), passport and P4. This is where they give you your laminated instructions/# card. You put everything and all your belongs through a machine like the airport, so bring as little as possible. Yes, they keep your phone and ever headphones. They will make you remove belts, watches, etc. No food or drinks - but they have vending machines in the second waiting room they bring you to. From that point, when you are ready they tell you to go down a set of stairs where you wait in a room. You are given time to put your documents in order but don't worry about necessarily putting everything in order - they ask for things in that order they choose.

I went at 710am and waited outside. I kept everything out of my purse and the security guards appreciated that. I was 2nd in line. Got up to the room got called to the first window immediately. Didn't have the last page of my affidavit of support (bring it even if it's empty!). Went and waited. Had other numbers after me called ahead of me but once i got called it was simple and easy. Was asked a lot of questions but all easy ones about traveling to see him and about us and our relationship. I got approved and was sent on my way!
