My personal experience: we were stuck in a bad snowy weather, and had to wait in the line outside the embassy for about 1.5 hours. With snow falling on our face and winds gusting while we had to wait for our turn to go through security and appointment time. The security guard outside was kind ans staff inside was kind and everything went smooth but just hoped they took better care of people standing outside.
The officers helping with security checks and belongings, were incredibly friendly. People having an early morning visa appointment, be prepared to spend about 2 hours for the whole process, from queuing, going through the interview, and leaving the embassy. There was a huge line-up because there were only two interviewers and two more windows were assigned for biometrics and document checks.nnThere's a locker facility in the embassy for storing cell phones and other minor stuff. Probably they hold backpacks as well but I would advise to carry your documents in a file. They also have an automated photo booth inside, in case your photo gets rejected. Apparently, it's cash only, I heard someone say it's only accepting $10 bills.nnThe staff were great, but there's room for improvement in speeding up the process.
Great experience. The security staff, the embassy personnel inside, everyone is very nice. It was also efficient once inside and things worked like a clock. I wish the wait time to get documents was significantly shorter, because the actual process in the embassy was short and sweet.
It’s the US Embassy, what can I say, it’s great! It is small so probably a little less crowded than the ones in bigger cities. Fast and efficient once you are in and have to leave your phone and wallet at the entrance.
I had a smooth experience at the embassy. Please bear in mind that you won't be allowed into the embassy before your appointment time I came about 40 mins early. It's recommended that you get there about 15 mins early
