Very efficient admission into embassy. Very few other people waiting on this day - building nearly felt empty. Approximately 25-minute wait for interview and then 3-5 minute interview. Consular official was very pleasant, kind, respectful to my partner during interview.
We were pleased to find that they admit partners with no former notification as long as they have a photo ID, so I was able to enter the embassy with my fiancee. Also pleased to find they allow food in, as we were halfway through a picnic lunch when it was time to go to the embassy! Overall a very fast, efficient interview process.
