So my interview was for 9am but I got to the embassy around 07.15 and joined the end of a queue around 6 people long. There were tents outside the embassy with people laying in and a sign outside it saying they had been on hunger strike for 23 days. Couldn't quite work out what they were protesting about.
When we eventually got in after going through security it was 7.40am and I took a seat and waited for my number to be called out. I went to window 13 and a friendly American guy took my finger prints and asked for my birth cert, police cert and affidavit and fiancés tax stubs. He asked me how I was, said congrats on your engagement. He was friendly but still professional. He looked at my birth cert for a while, and the copy, and he said "this isn't the original". I was like "what". He said this is a copy of a copy, you can tell by the white border. I looked at it and thought what the heck? I had been over my file 100000 times, but he was right, where was the original? ... read complete review

my route took me to Bond st tube, from there turn left on Oxford st and then left in to N Audley st. There is scaffolding covering the street sign but it is directly opposite Selfridges and M&S. Then a short walk down there to the embassy.
My appt was for 08:30 but I got there at 07:30 and just got in the queue anyway. There was a woman telling people to have their DS160 ready but I just showed my appt letter and that's it. Then another bit of queue and showed letter again and passport this time.
Security was done groups of 4, normal stuff, belt watch coins keys in plastic bag, everything else in a tray and through x ray machine. Airport type detector for people.
In to the embassy and get a ticket number from reception, I was I904. Then in to big room to wait to be called. I was in just before 08:00.
When they started calling it was over a tannoy, after a few minutes that stopped and I kept hearing (about 3 times) a funny bong sound, I then saw they... read complete review

My appointment was at 8am. I currently live an hour outside London, so I got a 6am train to Charing Cross and then got a bus from there to Selfridges on Oxford Street at 7am. I got to Gould's for about 7:25 and dropped off my phone. The process took a tiny bit longer than I expected - they sit you down at a little table and make you sign and spell your name before sealing a packet and taking you to the till to pay.
Then I went to the Embassy and waited in the first queue. They asked for my letter and passport, then waved me to the next queue. Then we got directed through the airport-style security four at a time, and walked through to the Visa entrance of the Embassy.
Once inside, the reception was like any corporate building. The receptionist asked for my letter and directed me to the waiting room. The room was like a town hall, with non-permanent chairs all facing forward and a ramshackle cafeteria. I was i-901 and called up straight away, where a young ... read complete review

(Sorry, this is super long, but I appear to have had a slightly different experience to the norm...)
We arrived at 7.50am after dropping our stuff off at the pharmacy, the queue was very short. My fiance’s name was handwritten at the bottom of the printed list they have outside (we emailed in advance and got confirmation within 2 days that he could come with me - thanks to Anna on this site for her advice)
Advice on going through Security – DON’T take your handbag if you’re anything like me and have loads of stuff in there that you’d forgotten about (eg: headphones, old USB key, heated eyelash curler) – take a small bag with only the things you need for the day.
We were ticket number I909 and waited about an hour for the first interview, and another 45 minutes for the second interview – mainly, I think, because of my handbag issues…
Interiew 1 – nice American guy, very friendly. He congratulated me on o... read complete review
