Overall my experience at the interview was very straight forward and positive. I detail below exactly what happened so that it may assist others with interviews coming up.
My interview was on Tuesday 29th January at 9.00am. Me and my mum left my home at 4.30am as I live in Gloucestershire and wanted to leave plenty of time to get to London for my 9.00am appointment. We drove to the outskirts of London and parked at Perivale tube station which is a very convenient station if you are coming from the West. Parking costs only £4.00 all day and it is in zone 4 of the central line with really easy access straight into the City. The journey was very smooth and me and my mum were actually in central London by 7.00am. I checked my cell phone in at the chemist for £3.00 and made my way to the Embassy whilst my mum went off to get breakfast and shop til I was finished.
I got into the queue at 7.20am. There were 4-5 people in front of me. The Embassy staff ... read complete review

Having never been the to US embassy before it was a first slightly daunting to say the least, my interview was set for 10:00, I arrived at the embassy at 9:20 to be greeted by a huge queue spanning the walkway area and multiple armed officers on patrol.
I joined the queue and immediately i had a woman approach me asking me what i was there for, i explained it was K-1, she found my name on the list and told me to stay i the queue and to inform the receptionist in the building that i was on the list as i had a last minute interview and had not yet receieved my confirmation letter. 5 minutes pass and i'm at the front of the queue about the enter the metal detector/ security check, had a bit of a laugh with the guard on duty due to my appearance on my passport, as my bag went through the metal detector it was given back to me and i was told to leave the building and dispose of the USB memory stick i had in there, i suddenly felt panicked as i didnt even know it was in there,... read complete review

Hi All, Had my interview last Friday and yipeeee I got approved. Now little details so it may help someone else.
I was dreading that the snow might hinder my travelling to the embassy but luckily it only started to snow when I was leaving the embassy. I got there around 7am and went to the cafe next to Goulds pharmacy and they were a nice bunch.
I would recommend anyone to come early have a cup of tea and wait till 7:20 and head out to the embassy. The queue was already building up it doesn't matter if you are going in from an immigrant visa as (my opinion) only few people were there for "I" visas.
Waiting inside is a pain, I don't wear a watch and I left my mobile at Gould's so I was a little restless but ignored it and started counting chickens with every "N" number passing me by.
Finally they called me and met a nice older gentlemen who actually had a strong Italian or Spanish accent but very soft spoken, he actually put me... read complete review

Since I had an interview early Monday morning, we stayed in London for the weekend so that Janice could look at some last exhibitions before she left for the US(top tip - we found the 4 star Cumberland Hotel right by Marble Arch has winter weekend special rates for only £85 a night - bargain for this part of London, very short walk to the Embassy)
Put the phone into Goulds at around 7.15 (they were already open and doing business) and joined the queue, already about 40 strong, outside the embassy, waiting in the light snow (settling on the shrubs in Grosvenor Square but not on the pavement). They started allowing people through security at 7.30am, where they discovered that I had a head-torch in my pocket that I'd forgotten about. Since I've broken my foot and it's difficult to walk, rather than take the torch back to Goulds, I left it hanging over one of the railings in Grosvenor Square (it was still there when I got out) and returned to the head of the queue, which th... read complete review

We have just finished our processing for our K-1 Visa! Our story is a bit unique, and perhaps one day I will shall all the trials and tests we have had to endure through this process. But as far as the actual interview as concerned, it went very well. A couple things to mention for those that follow:
1. We arrived at 7:15, although our interview wasn't until 9:30. When we arrived we saw people in line and thought we should join the queue. In hindsight, prolly should have lined up at the appropriate time, but my fiance' was allowed in, and had no problem. It was good that he did line up early, because the amount of people both before and after was quite a few. Talking about 200 or so all there at the same time. BE PREPARED FOR A LONG WAIT!
2. Paperwork-almost had a delay here, as the rep that was looking over his paperwork that is required to be brought for the visa, could have gone wrong. They looked at Birth Certificate, Police Certificate (Only the ACPO for... read complete review
