Went to the US Consulate (Fort Knox) today for my visa interview. I thought I would get a nice photo for everyone, but was not allowed!
After going through the ground floor security section and being stripped of my phone, keys, car stereo and camera, we went up the lift to the next security section. (I believe this is here so that just in case you have managed to craft a weapon from your remaining possessions in the lift, you will be cut-off here before you hold up the consulate with a sharp instrument crafted from your plastic folder and pages from your passport.)
This security section is where you are greeted by Bush's kid-in-a-candy-store smile (presumably to get rid of any people not already stopped by security)
Then nothing..... for 1.5 hours.... Centrelink queue's which run the length of the Cheltenham shops were starting to look pretty good by the time I got called.
Huge anti-climax.... once I got called it was a 2min interview, although I did get my fingerprints taken electronically which was quite cool! That was the highlight! how bloody exciting!

Well, you know you could have made your trip MUCH more exciting had you the foresight to craft that weapon out of your passport or to make a fuss or cause a scene and be tackeled to the ground and stip searched!! I tell you...you just are making the most of your opportunities! lol =) The less excitement the better at the consulate! Hehehe....I dont have to be in Centrelink queues for another year! YAY for that!
