Had my interview for my visa on the 23rd September and here is what i can remember.
My appointment was for 8am so i got to the embassy around 7.30. There was a queue of about 20 queuing a the podium to have their interview letters checked.
In past visits we had been allowed to take small rucksacks in and to leave mobiles at the security check point. Unfortunately this time I was told they needed to be left at Goulds Pharmacy so i quickly made my way there. The charged £3 per bag and £3 for my phone and table. This took about 5 minutes and by the time i got back there were probably about 30 people in the queue. A number of these were just waiting with people so it didn;t take too long.
As i didn't have a watch the rest of the timings are all approximate.
One person was handing out plastic bags into which anything that wouldn't go through the scanner went (including belts). Same as at the airport.
After queuing... read complete review

OK, I think I'm awake enough to do this! This is long.Our (hubby's) interview was yesterday 24/Sep/2013. We decided to avoid having to take the train down to London and staying over night in the hotel, that we would drive down. Hubby's appointment was for 9:30 so we set out from the Stoke on Trent area at 4AM. It was very dark and foggy. The drive down was uneventful and we made it down to Stanmore Station by 7AM. We did use the M6 Toll road which cost less than I thought it was because we went through before the daytime toll cost went into effect. We parked at Stanmore (5 pounds to park for the day) and we had purchased visitor oyster cards. 10 pounds on each was plenty to get to and from the Embassy with some left over.
We walked to Goulds after getting off the tube at the Bond St station and dropped off our 2 phones and key fob for £3. Stopped next door for a coffee and sandwich. We then proceeded to the Embassy just a short walk away. The line of people pretty much gave its... read complete review

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
