Just got back home, so excited! I got approved!
Got to the embassy 7.25 with my fiancé, already about 20 people, but mostly non-immigrant as my number was 902. 901 was called at 8 on the dot, followed by tons of N's. i was called to window 1 at about 8.20. Chubby, asian lady was speaking quietly, loud fan to my left was not helping so i apologised for asking her to repeat and she was fine with that (but didn't speak up lol). Oh well, i promptly given her all documents and copies and and was given cd with xray and courier form. After about an hour was called to window 16 for an interview when i was greeted by very friendly african-american young lady, she made me swear i am being truthful and sign the ds-156k. Then got asked how me met, when, how our relationship evolved, did i meet his parents, did he meet mine, what he does for work and as i mentioned we travelled a lot during our relationship she asked where did we travel. After that, she advised everything is in order... read complete review

Arrived at 7am, first in line. Most other people there were for Non-Immigrant Visas.
Appointment was at 8.30 but was seen at 8.15 at first, about 10 minutes sorting out paperwork and making sure all was in order. Very friendly and relaxed.
45 minutes later was called to the main interview. Young smart looking american man who was very professional but friendly. Asked the expected questions and within 5 minutes he said he was pleased to approve the visa.
Waited 10 minutes in line to pay for the courier, £26 for the before 10am service. Was out of the embassy by 9.35
Come prepared and all will go well, no need to be nervous if you have everything in order and are telling the truth.

We had out Interview last week so I just thought I'd share a little about our experience ... btw we got APPROVED :D
My Daughter is immigrating to the US with me so she had to attend the interview, my son is not at this stage so he was not required to attend.
I guess before I start the most important thing is to make sure you have all the required documents and copies of each, they love it if your organised!
Get there early, we got there at 7.00am and our appointment was for 8.00am we were first in the queue but only just! They wheel out two little trolleys ... Start to form a queue at the one on the right as you face the Embassy.
Directions and instructions on where to go and what to do are really clear they do make it very simple for you.
Security checked that we had our appointment letter and MRV receipts. Then it was off through an airport style security check and round to reception where our allotted appoin... read complete review

My visa interview was scheduled for 8:00am on Thursday 14 March. My wife and I arrived at the Consulate at 6:40am. And at that early hour, we were the first ones in the queue. We lined up in front of the door marked "Visas" and waited. It was quite cold, so my advice is to wear an extra pair of socks. A few people joined us in the queue over the next 45 minutes and then a Consulate staffer pulled out a desk in front of the Embassy and had us all line up behind it. The staffer asked whether anyone had mobile phones, fobs, car keys, or cameras with them and instructed people who did to Gould Pharmacy to stow them (Gould charge a GBP 3.00 fee for this). I had deposited my phone at Gould's previously while my wife waited in the queue. Note: Gould will only allow the person who deposits the item(s) to retrieve them. Also, to be clear, the Consulate allows brief cases or a bag that holds the necessary documents to be brought in.
In the queue, the Consu... read complete review

It was all quite smooth. If you've got an 8am appointment, you should probably arrive around 7:15am, to be at the front of the 'queue' for these more detailed interviews. A separate queue is maintained for the more frequent, less detailed interviews. I had about 5 people ahead of me... and therefore had to wait around 1.5 hours. Once my number came up though... it was mostly fast. Remember to bring the address that you want for return delivery of the passport though... as you can't bring phones/laptops into the consulate.
