Medical appointment:
The medical appointment was pretty straightforward, but felt like a rip off in terms of how much they do for that £385. The only speed bump I hit was not having a recent Covid jab, which was a nightmare to get privately but by some miracle I got one within a few day.
US Embassy:
Again, pretty straightforward. There seemed to be two queues into the building. I got directed to one and handed over my passport and DS260 form which they signed and then said I would need to wait until half an hour before my appointment.
Once it got to that time I waited a few minutes in the other queue and then had to show my phone and open the clock app. Don’t bring a laptop, but iPads and kindles are fine you just need to have them turned on. I then got directed to the security queue and had to go through a toned down version of airport security. I would avoid bringing liquids, a family before me got stopped due to having several bottles... read complete review

My medical was very underwhelming. In fact, I would scarcely call it a medical. There was no request for blood or urine samples. Neither did they ask to weigh or measure me. (They did ask for my weight and height, but I insisted THEY did the measurements!) I had a quick chest x-ray to check for tuberculosis. Afterwards, I had an interview with one of the doctors. He quizzed me on my GP medical record as well as the questionnaire I had filled out. He picked me up on an incident of work related stress I had at work twenty years ago. He seemed happy enough when I told him the problem had been resolved by leaving the job.
The medical ended with a discussion about vaccinations. Unfortunately, my GP records did not the ones I had as a child. Visa Medicals offered to provide the missing vaccines for an extra £250. I declined as I felt I had given them enough money already. It important to note K-1 visas can be granted without all vaccinations, but you will need proof of being ... read complete review

All round quick & positive experience, though with a small moment of stress after my first interview. This is perhaps too detailed, but I benefited from the very long reviews of this consulate when I was preparing.
I was lucky to have received at 08.00 appointment, so there were very few people waiting & I was seen fairly quickly. The embassy is a 10-15 minute walk from Vauxhall tube station (Victoria line & National Rail). I followed Google Maps, which had me walk to the 'Official Entrance' and past that to Consular Services. I recommend bringing some water and maybe a book - there is free WiFi. I completed my medical 16 days prior.
- Security
At 07.30 I first went to the US Citizen queue (just after the visa queue) after getting confused from reports on this forum about which line to take. They directed me to the Visa queue, but told me to go directly to the security desk & push in line. It felt uncomfortable to do that, but you need to -... read complete review

Had my interview today at 10 am and wanted to give a review
I had been reading all the ones on here and honestly they were so helpful in preparation for this
The walk from Vauxhall station to the embassy is really easy and quick and the building is hard to miss
We arrived early so we went to the cafe opposite the embassy and waited there. This one allows you to give a £6 donation to a charity in exchange for holding personal items but won’t hold your whole bag so if you just need to drop off a laptop or something since you can’t take them in then that’s a quick place to go. There are other cafes near by that will hold your bag for you rather than just items.
I went to line up at 9:20 since the line was really long. There is the blue side on the left and the red side on the right. I have seen people say on here that K1 can go to the left side and I tried that but they told me I had to go to the right side. When you appro... read complete review
