I'm writing this on my way from London having been approved for my K1 Visa. Apologies for the length of this but I've tried to include as much detail as possible.
My appointment was at 9am so I went down to London the night before and stayed in a hotel. I had decided to store my electronics at Gould's Pharmacy so headed there for 7.30am (opening time, although it was actually open at 7.15am). There are little desks with picture lists of what you aren't allowed to take into the Embassy. They put your electronics into plastic envelopes with your contact details on them. They also wrapped one of those envelopes around the handles of my small bag (I used a small combo lock to ensure it was safe... read complete review

Got to London euston around 6:45, jumped in a cab straight to the embassy (cost about £8.00). Felt v. overwhelmed by the massive golden eagle and flags and Ronald Reagan but was alright. Walked to Gould pharmacy (knew where it was as I went on google street view a few days before, v easy to get to!) it was closed so I got a cup of tea and wandered around the park opposite the embassy. Goulds opens at 7:30 officially but I went in about 7:20 I think and dropped in my phone and charger (£3.00).
Walked back to the embassy and joined the queue, helpful ladies went up and down the queue asking if we had our appointment letters and sending people who had electronics/keys to goulds (so if you can't find it, ask them!). Got to the front of the queue, another lady checked my passport and letter and marked me off her list. Then had my passport checked by another person and went through airport-like security scanners.
Entered embassy, got a ticket with my number on and w... read complete review

I arrived at the embassy at 7:15 for my 8:30 appointment, after leaving my phone at the nearby Goulds Pharmacy (a 30 second walk up North Audley Street). There were already maybe 15ish people in the queue, and the folks without bags were handed clear plastic ones for things like watches, wallets etc. After having appointment letters checked we were allowed 4 at a time through the airport-style security and into the embassy. Everything is clearly signed and all staff were really polite.
Received my number from reception (I-907) and was directed through to the waiting room. It wasn't as big or as intimidating as I'd been expecting! They began calling numbers on the big screens at 8:00. By 8:25 my number was called to window 1 where I was greeted by a very friendly lady who took my appointment letter and passport, the 2 passport photos and asked for my birth certificate and police certificates with copies. She also took my fingerprints while asking me if I'd been previously... read complete review

I Arrived in London the day before interview from Anglesey, North Wales, with my appointment at 8:30am August 1st. I stayed at a friends house in Ealing Broadway, a 30 minute trip on the tube, on the west bound central line where I got off at Bond street station. A 10 minute walk to the Embassy.
I set off from Ealing Broadway just before 7, and after dropping off my phone and bag at Goulds Pharmacy for 3 pounds each. I was at the Embassy in line at 7.45am, and it was pretty long even at that time. I finally was sitting down in the waiting room at 8.25am, after they checked my interview letter and passport at a small desk outside, went through security, and again showed my letter and passport at reception.
I waited about an hour to be seen at the first window, where I was greeted by a happy african american woman, who chatted a lot which put me at ease. She was particularly excited about the warm weather that day. I got asked to give my fingerprints, my bir... read complete review
