Went in as family and did ours 3 weeks ago .We were meant to enter 9:45am but didn't do the interview until almost 12pm .After a very long queue and bar code stage we

VO: He pulled out the drawer and put our passports there. Flipped out the white paper .....You will be notified through your email/sms when to pick your visas.

It's only God lots of Blue papers that day oo

You need to be very conscious of what you are doing. That is :

1. Many people doing fingerprints and interviews at the same time.
2. Don't let blue papers flying around bother you as lots of people got denied (Be prayerful, positive and hopeful).
3. No enclosure for interviewers - You hear all the conversations of others easily (so don't get distracted).
4. Questions may come from form Ds-160 (read it very well)
5. Don't staple the 2x2 passports (A guy did that in my front and was asked to go out) as this will affect the scanning of the pictures .So keep them separated.
6. Dress neatly and smartly.Tie and Suit not a must .I was even surprised seen a lot with natives and cap.

Wish you all good luck !
