Hello!
Had my interview yesterday and it was approved 
My appointment was at 9am but I arrived at the embassy at 6.45am since I heard it was first come first served! Had a bit of an issue getting in the building when security checked my appointment letter it was in my maiden name but my passport was in my married name. I had already spoken to the NVC and emailed the embassy about this and they both said it wasn't an issue but I started getting worried when the security man said he didn't want to let me in! The woman who was checking the names on the list called someone inside the embassy and they gave me the all clear to enter. I also showed them my birth certificate and marriage certificate to prove my name change. So, after that was cleared up I made it in and was given my number. I got in the building at 7.45am.
Within about 10 minutes I was called to the window and the guy took my fingerprints and got me to sign some d... read complete review

I had my interview on the 8th Feb and i got approved. Yayyyyy.
It wasn\'t as bad as i had expected. I got there for 7.45am and stood in line where a woman came and checked my interview letter and passport. She sent me through security where i placed all my paperwork and handbag to go through scanner.
After that i went into the building where i was given a number which i was told to look out for to be called. It was an \'I\' number. I finally sat down at 8am. To which they atarted calling numbers out. There are more \'N\' numbers than \'I\'. I waited for around an hour before my number was finally called to a window. There i was met by a very nice gentleman who asked me if that was my picture on the paperwork to which i said yes. He asked me a few questions on my paperwork and on my marriage then gave me a pink courier slip to fill out and told me to wait back in the waiting area for my name to be called for my 2nd interview.
So i went back and finally my name was... read complete review

Arrived at Gtosvenor Square about 7am, nothing was open, so grabbed a starbucks while I waited; when Gould's opened I dropped off my camera and phone (their bags are pretty big, so don't worry about bringing big stuff).
Got in the queue at 7.20 just in time to see the armed guards wander in, then got called through. You have to wait outside the security hut and put your belt/watch in a bag before they let you in, then it all goes through a scanner like at the airport. After that, you leave the hut and follow the path round into the main embassy itself.
When you enter, give your appointment letter to the lady and she'll put a sticker on there. Then you wiat....
They started calling numbers at 8am, by 8.05 I-902 (me) was called. I went up to desk 14 and as soon as the guy serving me said 'hello,' I realized he was the spitting image of Lionel Ritchie(!). Sadly he was rather businesslike and humourless so he didn't do much to put me at ease. O... read complete review

I arrived at the Embassy at 8:20am after dropping off my mobile phone at Gould's Pharmacy. Finally got inside the Embassy at 9:05am. I was concerned as my interview was scheduled for 9am but the security staff outside said that the time is irrelevant and not to worry. Once inside, I got my ticket number from the desk and took a seat.
I was called after waiting for about 20 minutes. I handed my original documents over and had my fingerprints taken. The man gave me my X-Ray DVD, gave me my courier form to fill out and then told me to take a seat.
I was called for my interview about 2 and a quarter hours later. My officer was a lovely lady, very smiley. She went through my documents and gave me back my originals. She made me swear the usual oath that everything I was saying and had said was the truth, etc. Then she asked how we met, have we met each other's family and friends, have we visited each other if so when and how many times, how we felt ab... read complete review
