Bring a book, bring a lunch, and most importantly bring patience. And check the cover sheet of the mysterious brown envelope before you leave the Embassy.
For immigrant visa interviews, the Embassy's security won't let you enter the building earlier than 1pm. Mobiles aren't allowed in the building (security will hold them for you).
My husband's interview letter said to be at the Embassy at 1pm but he wasn't called to the desk until 2pm. They first asked for his paperwork - passport, birth certificate, marriage licence, the sealed medical results, police certificate, Form I-864, two passport photos and the $400 visa fee. Once he handed over all the paperwork, they told him to sit and wait.
An hour later he was called for the interview. It took all of ten minutes, the majority of questions were about our assets and specific questions about me (the USC). He was told at the end of the interview that his visa had been approved and to agai... read complete review

Had a great experience at the Dublin embassy. From the security to the office staff they were all well mannered and helpful.
I joined a Queue of just myself and another girl. Was called to a window and a lady asked me for the required info. I then went and paid the fee, took a seat, called by another lady to sign some forms. I then sat again and waited to be called my the Consular Officer. He was a young guy and not a bit intimidating as i'd imagined he would be. I saw the approved stamp on my case before he even start asking me Questions 
Question were :- What does your Fiance work at?
Where does he work?
Where does he live and for how long?
When did you get engaged and when do you think you'll be married?
How did you meet?
Simple little things and I had nothing to hide. Waited about 45mins for the Visa and I was done. I ... read complete review

Arrived at 12.50 for my interview at 1.00. Allowed into the security area where my phone and keys were taken to be returned on exit. Sat in waiting area for 15 minutes and called to submit my DS-156 and other documents. Told to pay the cashier €100 even though the packet 3 asked me to get a bank draft for €107.00. I agve the cashier the draft and got a receipt. Asked to return to my seat and waited another 20 minutes. Called again to submit my DS-156K and asked to sit down once again. Another 30 minutes passed and I was called for my interview which was carried out at the window in the main waiting area. The other people in the waiting area could hear the whole interview which was slightly off putting but it only took about 10 minutes and the questions were fine. I was then told that I was approved for the visa but that I would have to return at 3.30 to pick it up. Luckily I had my drivers licence with me which I needed as ID to gain access back into the Embassy. The Embassy kept m... read complete review

Our visa journey is finally complete! Ciaran had his visa interview at the US Consulate in Dublin on Friday, Sept 5. He got to the consulate and had to wait a long time, spoke to two different immigration officers who asked how we met, and that was it! Then the second officer gave him his visa and his packet and he was on his way! The whole thing lasted about 2.5 hours. I am picking Ciaran up from the Chicago O'Hare airport today, and he is here to stay!

The visa interview appointment was a bit of a non-event. You know when you prepare for all eventualities, double check everything, hold your breath and then... it is much less difficult than you thought!
My appointment was at 1pm, so I arrived at 12.30pm, and was told to come back at 1pm, they wouldn't let me in beforehand. An old lady was there at the same time and they wouldn't let her in either, not even to the benches inside the security hut, so I walked her to the bus stop bench 50 yards away. Turns out she is 98 and wants to visit the US one last time (she used to be a green card holder). I hope I am that fit mentally and physically at that age! Went back at 1pm, handed over my mobile (cell) phone for them to keep in the security hut, and went to the visa section. There was only myself, an Indian man who I think was there for a work visa, and another gentleman applying for a spousal visa who had to return because he needed to file a waiver.
When I we... read complete review
