I am in the process for a spouse visa and our four sons are in the process for immediate relative visas (my husband just missed passing on his USC status to them so they have to go in as LPRs like me but can become USCs on arrival in the US thanks to the Child Citizenship Act).
We informed the Embassy (via a covering letter with the DS320s) that our medicals were scheduled for the afternoon of 29 July. Just days later (and a few days before we were due to travel) I received a phone call informing me that our Interviews had been scheduled for 8am on 30 July. The woman on the phone was actually pretty impolite to me. She castigated me for not knowing my in-laws' postcode off the top of my head (I needed the appointment letters sent there because we are staying with them as a base for travelling to London) even though it only took me 30 seconds to open up my address book and tell her. I was also told that my in-laws have a ridiculous address. I just tried to remain cal... read complete review

We had the interview on Friday in London and it went pretty smoothly. One word of warning is that you have to wait outside the embassy in line. We waited for 40 minutes during which there was a torrential downpour. While the US consulate workers had umbrellas, those of us who assumed we'd be under cover in case it started raining were wrong and soaked. Keep those documents and papers dry!
They were very courteous and clear. We had all the papers in order. The only issue was that we had a copy of the immigrant's birth certificate instead of the original. But since everything else was in order, there was no big problem. I had to explain that I was being transferred from the UK office to the US office of my company. I showed some emails they accepted that as proof of my ability to support my wife. Since all the papers were good, we were told to sit. After another 45 minutes or so we went to a different window and an official asked us informally about how we met a... read complete review

Arrived in London the day before interview, appointment was at 8:30am and couldn't get a train down from Leeds that day, thought a good rest the night before would help too. Stayed at the Park lane mews hotel, about 8 min's walk from the embassy, decent price and the staff let me keep my bag their free of charge when I went for the interview.
I went for a walk to make sure I knew the way to the embassy, you really can't miss it, its a massive building with the American flag flying above a golden eagle. Very different from the other embassy's in the area!
Set 5 alarms just in case! but woke up before any of them went off and got ready, just wore shoes, smart jeans and a plain white shirt with no tie. Set off around 7 and arrived more than an hour before my interview.
There were about 10 people in line before me, they started letting people through at 8:45, I was chatting to a lovely woman in the queue behind me which helped as we were both... read complete review

I had my K1 visa interview on the 30th of July. I read lots of these reviews before my interview and found them to be very helpful and accurate.
I would like to share my recent experience as there are a few details that have changed.
Once arriving inside the embassy I was greeted by the receptionist who took me through to the main room and informed me that the computers are down and that I would be called by name for my interview.
I am aware that they are changing over their computer system at this time, so it was probably something to do with that.
There were only thirty or so people in the waiting room. My appointment was for 9am.
At 10:30 I still had not been called, and almost everyone was waiting for their second interview.
Luckily I noticed two other people who had been waiting and not called, i asked them and they were also waiting for the first K1 interview. Another person who was also there for an immigrant visa informed us t... read complete review
