I have read several reviews and the process went as expected according to the reviews. This was perfect cause I knew what to expect. This was our experience at the Embassy.
You meet at the small triangle park early in the morning. We arrived around 6:45am our appointment was at 10:30am. Advised to be there by 6:30 am, I’m sure other people were there even earlier. Please be aware there is going to be a lot of people at the park for the Visas (Tourist and Permanent) in addition there will be companions which are not allowed to come in the Embassy. This makes the park look overcrowded with people. The lines are separated and you can ask and the people will tell you whether you are in the correct line.
As we were asking about which line or area we should stand in the “Ladies†with the red vest and list started to arrive. She explains to the crowd what she’ll be reading out and in what order. She starts reading from the first list for those people that didn’t arrive early enough and then the second list. We are on the second list and therefore she told us to stand across the street next to a little snack and bathroom stand. She leaves and returns to us a good hour later. We followed her all the way to the entrance of the Embassy – there you hand her all the critical documents the evidence comes later – be patient. I separated all my documents the day before and I just handed her everything in a clear folder or envelope. I strongly suggest you have all these documents in order the day before the interview this way you are prepared and not scrambling to find documents in the line of people. The lady was very patient with us, kind & explained if we had any questions.
Now we enter the embassy and you go through a metal detector and they go through all your belongings. I had a few things in my purse and they held on to it until we were done at the end.
