I had my interview at the U.S Embassy in London at 8am on Wednesday, March 6 2013. I came to London on the previous day ensure that I arrived for my interview on time. As I was staying in a hotel in the Bayswater area, I was fortunate enough to be near to the Queensway tube station, which is on the central line. So I left my hotel around 6.15am and took the central line from Queensway directly to Bond Street, from which it's about a 10 minute walk to the embassy.
In anticipation of the queues that I've read so much about, I arrived at the embassy a little after 7am. Sure enough there was already a queue, so I got in line and waited until they opened the doors around 7.45am. I came prepared ensuring that I did not bring any electronic devices with me, and left them at the hotel.
At around 7.30ish (time was a bit blurry for me) a lady came to the queue post and informed us all to have our interview letter and passport ready for inspection. She then checked... read complete review

My fiance had his interview this morning and this is his experience...or the best that we can remember through our relief and excitement.
His interview was scheduled for 9:00am and he arrived at the Embassy just before 8:00am after dropping off his keys at Goulds. He said it was simple to get through security if you follow the security guidelines, and once you are through they rush you off lol.
Once inside he was given his number and then waited about an hour until he was called to the first window where he was met by an Indian woman, who he said was not the happiest of people. She asked for his documents and took his fingerprints, gave him his form for the courier and then he took a seat again.
He said he waited another hour or so before being called for the interview. He said that once he rounded the corner and saw the nice Africian American woman smiling at him he felt much more relaxed (we had read several reviews where it was mention... read complete review

My experience at the US embassy in London was very positive - it is straightforward and as long as you are prepared, you will be fine. I won't go through the details of getting inside the embassy itself as others have already done a thorough job of that. Just make sure you don't take any electrical items and you bring your appointment letter! Three guys in front of me had to leave the line because of these mistakes! Anyway, the biggest piece of advice I can give for this stage is to disregard your appointment time and get to the embassy early (around 7:15-7:30am) as you'll be seen on a first come, first served basis!
I had to wait about 15 minutes after they started calling numbers (at around 8am) for my ticket number to come up. I saw a pleasant older man who took my documents and finger prints. I told him I had a co-sponsor and he didn't ask any questions about this, just asked for the forms and evidence of both my fiance and the co-sponsor. He stapled everything into ... read complete review

After dropping off mobile phone and keys at Goulds Chemist, I walked 2 minutes down the street to the Embassy and got in a queue of around 20. Waited 10 minutes and then we were asked to get our appointment letters and passports ready. A lady checked my name against a list and asked if I had got any electronic devices. We were then taken 4 at a time through the airport style metal detector, removing watches and belts, and then directed around the corner to reception.
The receptionist again asked for appointment letter and fixed my interview number to it and told me to take a seat. The bank of screens in the waiting area were not working, but there was a large screen above the refreshment stand showing the current numbers being called, and the numbers were announced loudly enough.
After 10 mins was called to window 13 and spoke to a young black woman.
She asked for originals and copies of birth certificate, police check and the I-134. For the proof affidavit of supp... read complete review
