My wife said the experience wasn't so bad. It was much quicker than anticipated. The interviewer was at times very curt with her, but overall had little problems answering the questions. They actually kept the appointment time, and she was in and out in less than 2 hours, not counting the hours waiting in line ahead of time.
The interviewer did ask a little nastily about my 2011 tax return. Apparently she didn't have it and wanted to know if my wife had a copy with her.
My wife responded, "My husband sent all of that in."
Interviewer responded in a snippy tone, "I'm asking YOU if YOU have it."
"No."
It does bother me that they were missing that...because now I have to wonder...where is it? Is it lost in Venezuela? At the NVC? Somewhere in between? Now I have to watch my credit reports like a hawk to be aware of identity theft. Thank you US government! Top notch job again!
Overall though, we are happy with embassy in Caracas for this part of the process.
The guy at the DHL office they had there to courier the package to her home was a jerk though. Luckily she insisted he read back to her the address correction he just typed in. He insisted it was exactly as she stated. It wasn't. Wrong apartment number. He said, "They'll figure it out." Umm, no...this isn't something we want left to chance, especially in Venezuela. She insisted he correct it, he manually did. Apparently reprinting it was too big of a chore. It did arrive 10 - 12 days later, though.
But that was DHL, not the embassy itself.
