I arrived at the Embassy for 8:20 and was told to wait until 8:30. I was allowed to skip the large queue outside that is for DS-160 and go straight to the front as I had the DS-260.
From entry to giving over my documents it was smooth. I was asked for Birth Certificate, Marriage Certificate, passport and Police Certificate. I was also asked for my husbands latest tax return which I was not expecting, thankfully however I had printed everything off and bought it all with me just in case.
After I submitted my documents it took nearly 2 hours for them to finally interview me. I believe this may have been staff shortage reasons as it seemed only one person was carrying out the interviews today. The interview was very straight forward and easy, took 5 minutes basically. I was asked how I met my husband, when we got married and where, what his job is. I was then approved on the spot. I hope this helps someone!

- I arrived 30 mins before, at 07.30. The line can be long but they will tell you to cut it at certain points if needed. Have your DS-260 confirmation page ready.
- I spoke to officers at two different booths. The first one involved fingerprints, documents check, questions when I anticipate moving, etc. For me, the documents were: interview & courier confirmation, US-style photo, originals of passport, birth certificate, marriage certificate, and police certificates.
- Then a bit of a wait and the next booth is the "interview" but it was just: when/how did you meet, when did you see each other again after the initial meeting, when did you get married, have you been living together since or apart?
- The tone felt very casual and friendly -- *everyone* at the embassy was super friendly.
- Keep an eye on all the screens because it's kind of easy to miss when your number flashes on the main screen. My second booth was actually behind me and thankfully the people... read complete review

Interview took place on 27 January. Entry was quick and painless (remember, if you’re attending for an immigrant visa appointment you can skip the long queue!).
Arrived at 9.30am for 10am appointment. Waited around 40 mins until called up to the window and gave all of my documents. Then sat down again and waited for over 90 mins to be called for the visa interview. Only asked 4 or 5 standard questions and then told I had not brought an original copy of the petitioners divorce decree, so was given a green 221g form and asked to send in the original and upload it to CEAC, which I did the same day. Original document submitted by DX on the following Wednesday, and status changed the next day from “Refused†to “Administrative Processing “ and then to “Issued†on the Friday, so really quick turnaround.
Passport with visa in now in hand and ready to make the move in early April.
For those who are worryin... read complete review

I had my interview in London on the 9th of February. It was actually very straight forward and only took about 10 minutes. The interviewer asked a couple of questions like when and where I met my husband and checked my documents and then I was told that I was successful.
The most stressful part of it I found was outside trying to get into the building. Everyone on this forum mentions that you do not have to queue in the long non-immigrant visa line, which is absolutely correct. However not all of the staff outside of the building are aware of this. Unfortunately when I went to the front of the queue and told them I was there for a immigrant green card interview, they said I had to queue with everyone else. I did this and then after a while decided to ask someone else as it felt wrong. They also told me to stand in the same line. About ten minutes later someone went along the line telling everyone to have their passports and DS160’s to hand for checking. I told them I had ... read complete review
