Interview was today, I was so nervous beforehand that I made myself physically sick. I was terrified I would have missed out one critical piece of paperwork that would have me denied a visa.
Well, my appointment was at 9:30am. I arrived just before 9. Going through security, I had to get my bag scanned, turn cellphone off (and my kindle - hint, take physical reading material!) and locked away. Security let me in and directed me to window 5 (the only window for immigrant visas)
At window 5, I met B who is as lovely in person as she is on the phone and by email (I'd had to communicate with them a LOT!).
B checked my paperwork, requesting originals of my marriage certificate, passports, and a courier bag. I made the mistake of taking a NON-signature required bag. Remember to get the signature required one if you're not picking it up! Not a huge problem though, B advised me to go downstairs and get a new courier bag (NZ post is on the ground fl... read complete review

Appointment was 9.30am December 30th I arrived a little after 9am went through security took a seat waited maybe 10 minutes went to window 5 rang the bell and B greeted me with a warm smile. She could see I was nervous so told me to take deep breaths relax and explained its just a formality and to keep telling myself this is all just paper work, shes a very lovely lady makes you feel very welcome. My heart sunk when she asked for my fiances tax return as he only started working back in September but they had a letter from his employment and also a pay stub. I explained he had been living in Tennessee for the last two years had a job that fell through not long after he got there and up until September was working for cash. She said it was up to the interviewer as to what or if there would be anymore evidence required. I proceeded to window 4 where i paid my visa fee feeling a little nervous about my interview, after sitting for about half an hour i was called to window 3. The first ques... read complete review

Great experience at consulate. It was very informal , staff were super friendly.
First step was to go through paperwork with the lovely lady B. I was told my info was super organised , I only followed the guideline on this forum. Then finger prints , fee payment. I was told to then take a seat and wait for a immigration officer. After 40 mins or so I was called, the guy was very relaxed and started the interview by saying it was just a formality. He asked me how me and my fiancé met and a couple of other questions about Oklahoma as he had never been there, then We had a chat about horses and rodeo ( our passion and what got us together) . Interview took less then a few mins. I took phone records and supporting info , they did not look at this guess there was enough in the initial pack.

Good experience at consulate.
You go to window 5 and chat to a nice lady. We had good small talk. She said the way my fiancé and I met was like a romantic movie :-)
Waited for my named to be called for interview. Didn't have to wait long. I took a book to read. Was asked a few questions and took an oath.
Easy process as I was quite nervous!
Very relieved and happy!!

Was a fairly pleasant experience at the Auckland consulate. I (the petitioner) joined my fiancé for his interview because I was in the country with him at the time.
We went to the city group building about 40 minutes before our appointment, and went through security and had no issue at all even though there was some debate if I would be allowed in. We went up the window and met B, who I have been emailing and calling for the past 11 months so was nice to finally put a face to the voice. She was very very nice and said I was super organised over and over again and how it made our case very easy. She gave us the option to pick up our visa by hand an basically said we were approved, even before we had down the interview. Our medical results still had not arrived yet and she said that wouldn't be an issue.
We then took a seat, and waited for nearly 2 hours. There are no clocks in there so time went fairly quickly and we talked to another man who lives in Vermont as well. E... read complete review
