Had my consulate interview on September 18th. I picked the latest interview slot of 1pm, when around 10 other parties were in the waiting room. My documents were checked within 5 minutes, and I had the loveliest interviewer. He was very friendly, understanding, and even joked around a little. That really put my nerves at ease, but after waiting an hour and a half, they were right back.
I was the last number to be called up, and I feel as though my interviewer has never smiled a second in his life. A complete contrast to the other staff members I'd interacted with, he was emotionless throughout (even seemingly judging at times, in regards to our finances) and phrased questions weirdly to try and catch me out. While I understand that that's his job, the interview also ended very suddenly and anti-climatically; within seconds of my answering his last question, he said, deadpan and not even looking at me, 'okay, the visa will be in your passport when you receive it within 17 business days. Have a nice day' and I was left reeling. It took me a moment to realise that it was actually over, and that I'd done it, I'd got the visa! I hadn't expected confetti, but some semblance of human emotion would have made me feel a lot less unsure and uncomfortable.
All in all, a very mixed bag!
