The staff at the Consulate were very nice and helpful. They consistently returned our e-mails and even allowed us to be re-scheduled for an earlier interview date due to the issues we had with the CSC office mishandling our case.
We arrived very early, 6:30 and were able to get parking although it seemed parking wasn't much of an issue as there is ample ability to park on the street below the Consulate. I am the petitioner and was allowed into the building because I e-mailed the consulate beforehand for permisson and printed out the e-mail from the Consulate which stated I could go with my Fiance into the building. However, they stated it would be up to the Consular officer if I would be allowed into the actual interview, which I wasn't allowed but its all one big room so I was basically right there anyway. If you want to go with your fiance to the interview, I would suggest e-mailing the Consulate because the guards aren't allowed to let you in unless you have an e-mai... read complete review

Was told "your case looks pretty good" but asked to bring a document from the ministry of interior with my exits and returns being my return into Israel from the US that I noted as 08/08 in my DS-230 was not stamped into my passport(used a hand print entry). Originals were returned but so was passport.
05/06/2013: Brought said document less than two hours after interview was done.

Basically like going to a teller at the bank. You stand and face an employee who goes over your application and asks you questions about everything. The payment instructions were completely incorrect. They said that they would not accept credit cards nor cash nor anything except like a certified check from my bank. So I did paid the fee and when we got there was told that good ol' Visa/Mastercard would do just fine.
they have to review the mailers they send out. It seems they are completely disorganized interms of office procedure. However, the lady who conducted our interview was nice and courteous. The wait wasn't terribly long. Security was tight, of course, as East Jerusalem is a hot spot, and politically charged.

Let me tell you, the interview part is the easiest one!
Waiting for them to process it and their unresponsiveness was the worst part! It took them 6.5 weeks to issue the visa and that's with the involvement of my fiance's congressman. (twice!!!!).
Arrived at 7:45 sharp. Lots of parking space for free on the street above the consulate- Yam Hamelach st. (Dead sea st.). Only 2 people in line in front of me. Got to the check in window outside, stated my name and got a number and the paper for Sha'al. Waited 2 mins to get inside and go through security. They asked me to open the medical envelope outside and then come back in. Promised it's OK and it was. You need to leave you cellphone with them. I left it in the car and only brought a carton bag with all my documents, my wallet, a bottle of water and a sweater. But I saw other people there with backpacks so I guess they let you bring stuff in. Got into the interviews hall. There were maybe 5 parties already waiting. Met ano... read complete review

They took the maximum time possible for every step of the process. Answering emails also took a very long time, and won't answer questions by phone. One idiot made a mistake and almost gave me a heart attack when he couldn't find my marriage licence even though all this info had been forwarded months prior from the NVC. The interview itself went well, once I actually got to the window after waiting for 3 hours past my scheduled appointment time. It's difficult to find parking in the area and the consulate is very hard to find. The set up for the interviews was bizarre - I had to scream through thick glass windows and it was difficult to hear the questions, especially since other people were right next to me going through the same thing. But, I'm in the US now so I guess it wasn't too bad! javascript:emoticon('')
