I left my house around 5:15am and headed to Richmond to park for the day. Anybody who is traveling East to London may want to look into driving to the same place. Parking is £12 a day (Old Deer Car Park) and you're a very short walk from Richmond station where you can purchase an all day travel card for £11. I arrived in Richmond at 6:30 and jumped onto the train to Waterloo.
We decided to walk from Waterloo as the weather was good and we were fairly early. We arrived at the embassy just before 8:00 am and needless to say the queue was already fairly long. I hopped in the line which was moving slowly, and managed to get through security by 8:30. As you walk into the embassy you will be asked to check in at the reception desk and be assigned a number. K-1 visas are classed as "I" visas, meaning they're for immigration purposes, in comparison to the majority of people who are there for non-immigrant visa types and assigned a number starting with "N".

I attended my K-1 visa interview on Friday 19th July at 8:30am.
After reading the advice of others, I decided to arrive at 7:30am. I was right to do so because even at this time there was a long line to get into the embassy. It took about 30 minutes to get through this line, first of all showing my appointment letter and passport to one guard filtering the line, and then past the first security station (a small room glass enclosed room outside the embassy itself). I had a bottle of water in my bag which the security guard asked me to taste, once I did he was satisfied it was OK.
Once past this security checkpoint I walked around the side of the building and up some steps (past a guard armed with a machine gun who I cheerfully bid good morning to and received an equally cheerful greeting back!) into the building. Here there is a desk where you show them your interview letter and passport and they print off a ticket giving you a unique number (mine was I906)... read complete review

Finally, approved & awaiting my passport back with the visa in it!
Appointment time: 9am
Arrived at the Embassy at 8:20, already a long line outside and already getting hot (this was the day it reached 30'c in London)
Reached the security check point by 8:50, showed passport, interview letter & MRV receipt(for fees paid) bag scanned & walked through body scan.
Went through to the first reception desk, showed interview letter & MRV receipt again, they scanned the barcode on receipt & stuck a number on the letter, mine was I-918.
Went through to the huge waiting room & it was hot hot hot, they had huge fans at the front of the room, but all I felt they really did was blow around some peoples really bad body odor - nice!
Took the Metro paper in to read, but really you cant easily read as every 7secs (most of the time) a 'Bing' sound happens to alert you that another number is up on the screen - yes just like... read complete review

Denied visa due to overstay.
Overstay incurred due to being advised by immigration workers at USCIS in Newark NJ that I was within the law and within my rights to stay.
Speaking with immigration officers about the matter gives varying stories, where (given mine and my wife's circumstances) many agree I had rights to stay, while others don't.
