Consulate very good. Went in earlier, as my appointment was for 10:45, I went in at 10:25. The security guards are very friendly and after scanning you in, they tell you which window to go to. I went to the window, and the lady went through my paper work, and said all good and so I was told to wait for my interview. About 10 min later, they called my name, and a male officer interviewed me, the questions were standard...as follows....
"Where did you meet?"
"How much time have you spent together?"
"What does she do?"
"Where does she live?"
"What will you do in America? What does she do?"
"When is the wedding and wedding plans?"
OH, and you are told,to be sure you know to marry within 90 days. And the form you get from the medical... keep it, you need it for your AOS, so don't lose it 
Be honest, answer every question honestly, it goes a long way.
All in all, very good.

Went smoothly. Got there early, the security guard was cheerful and helpful directing me which window to go to and when. First lady was polite, told me off a little for not have some extra evidence, but the told me the officer would decide. My fault, I guess.
The wait was roughly an hour from 9.30 till my interview, which took ten minutes. The officer was cheerful, asked how we met, what we both do, where the wedding will be and what plans.
All in all, awesome!

Had a great experience overall at the US Auckland Consulate. Probably the easiest part of the immigration process this far. The communication was really good from the embassy. On the first packet, there is a number and an email that you can communicate with "B" on. "B" handles the IV and K1 process at the consulate. I called her once to clarify something and she was very warm, clear and helpful.
TIP: Apply for a (FULL/Clean Slate Act does not apply) Ministry of Justice Criminal Records check once you get NOA2, it took me over 4 weeks to receive mine. I had to call the MoJ and explain my circumstances to get it. They MoJ a high case load and low staffing as it was the NZ summer holiday period. They were kind enough to jump me ahead of the queue because it was over 4 weeks and I required it urgently.
Interview Day: Found the Citi building easily. Caught the elevator which opens up directly to a zig zag line/queue full of people waiting to enter the consulat... read complete review

A relatively straightforward process. Arrived 20 minutes early and was allowed straight in. I had a jacket and a laptop bag with my documents. You leave everything in a small locker, but anything bigger than a small backpack/bag would be too big. Basically take a bag for your documents, leave everything else behind.
Everyone was polite and friendly, both to me and the other people there. After waiting 30 minutes I was called to a window and we started to go through my documents with a Kiwi woman. I had sent all originals but had duplicates ready. They asked for my original police certificate which threw me as I was certain I had sent it in with my original package. Eventually it was found in my oackage. We updated some financial information and took fingerprints. I then sat down again, and then was called and spoke to the consular officer who was American. I had to swear an oath that the information was correct and that was about it. They said that everything seemed fine... read complete review

My appointment was scheduled for 9am, I arrived a few minutes early and was taken through security and told to wait till window 5 was free. I waited 2 minutes and was waved up to the window by B, who is the loveliest lady! It was good to finally put a face to the name! She ran through all my paperwork and asked a few questions about my future address in the U.S. and when do I plan on traveling. I had already booked my flights to save spending a lot on them, (luckily it all went well and I got approved) After talking with B for a while I paid the fee and then sat down and waited for my name to be called for an interview. It was really busy and I ended up waiting 2hours, luckily there was another girl my age there applying for a summer camp visa so we chatted for most of the time. Once my name was called the guy said my paperwork was very organized and asked how my fiancé and I met, I told him and that's all he asked before taking my fingerprints and making me do an oath saying my paper... read complete review
