Had my interview March 28th, 2017. Arrived at the consulate 30 mins ahead of time but was turned away because everyone was at lunch and was told to return at the time of my appointment. Went through security, do not bring backpacks you will be turned away and any electronics will be kept with security. I was told to speak to an employee to receive a "ticket" a laminated paper with a number and how they want your documents sorted. I then went through a scanner and had my belongings scanned. Was escorted up the elevator by security and was told to sit in the waiting room until my number was called. In total I was there for 2 hours. Staff was very friendly and professional.
