Our experience working with the US Consulate in Auckland was excellent. They were extremely helpful in answering our questions and sending information prior to our interview, very accomodating with our schedule and answered emailed questions very quickly - sometimes within hours!
We had our interview at 8:30am so arrived shortly before to go through security checks. You are not allowed to take any electronics into the consulate including mobile phones, have to demonstrate you can drink from any liquids, obviously have passport, appt letter etc. and have any bags/coast x-rayed.
We were the only people there when we arrived so were seen very quickly.
They had our file waiting and then we handed over all the required documents and copies; I-864 plus supporting docs, I-130 (we went to NZ to file everything there), photos, marriage certificate, etc. We were not asked to provide any additional documents/information/relationship proof etc. although we had... read complete review

I moved to NZ in 8/2004 to live with my husband while he finished up his career. In January 2006, I called the Consulate on their line for Visa inquiries (not free) and asked if I could file the I-130 in Auckland for my husband. They said yes and sent me the initial package of forms and instructions. I received the package about 3 days after my request. It contained the I-130, I-864, DS-230 & DS-2001 plus a multitude of instructions on how to fill them out, what documents would be needed and how to file it all. Very comprehensive instructions and very clear. We began gathering the documents we did not have and on May 30, 2006 (2 years after our marriage  ) we filed the I-130 around 8:15am. If you live in Auckland you can drop in to file the papers between 8-9am Mon-Fri. They are closed on US holidays as well as NZ holidays so check their calendar on their website to be sure they are open.
The Embassy is on the third floor of the Citibank building. This b... read complete review

The story, as told by Matt in an email:
I was 10 minutes early for the interview. The first hurdle was security. They went through everything, took my keys and cellphone off of me, and even made me
drink some of my water. Then I went into the next room which was like a fortified ticket booth. There must have been 10 or so windows, and there was a long line of chairs in the middle of the room. So it was like…
….*……*……*……* (* = window)
CCCCCCCCCCCCCC (Chairs)
…………………………. (Wall)
The guard told me to take a seat, and you just wait for your name to be called out over the loud speaker. After a short wait my name was called, and I wandered up to the booth. The lady was so nice. The first thing she said was that I should calm down because there is absolutely no problem, and that since I have never been arrested, married, or overstayed it was perfectly fine. Then she told me ab... read complete review
