Overall a very smooth process.
I decided to book a hotel room at the Wembley Travelodge in the Ealing area for the night before, since a search had come up with that as the cheapest option and for a £5 charge I could have 24 hour parking so could leave all my stuff in the car for the day rather than worrying about stowing things at the Chemist that everyone mentions. The next day I took a 7am tube train in from Hanger Lane Station to Bond Street Station and walked the short way to the Embassy from there.
On approaching the main entrance (having arrived at around 7.50 am for an 8.30 am appointment) I joined the queue to the right side of the entrance (which by chance turned out to be the right one as I hadn't noticed the signs indicating this) and was surprised to see that there were people already in the embassy and already being admitted. Whilst standing in the queue my appointment letter was checked by one of the staff, and then as I got to the front o... read complete review

In all, my experience at the US Embassy in London was pretty average. My appointment was at 8am and I arrived a half hour before as directed. There were only a few people in the queue but by the time they began allowing people to enter, the queue grew pretty fast. They get people through pretty fast. You have to show your interview appointment letter and MRV receipt.
When inside the Embassy, you again show the above documents and they place a sticker with I9-- and you procede to the waiting room. I was I901, the first immigrant visa of the day. There are far more N numbers than I, as they are for nonimmigrant visas.
I waited apoximately 15 minutes before being called to a window. At this window I spoke to (a pretty rude and unfriendly) asian lady, who collected the documents outlined in packet 4 and also handed me back my CD with my chest x-ray which you are told to keep in your hand luggage when flying and also a pamphlet on domestic abuse in the US. I wa... read complete review

Our appointment was for 8:00am today. Yesterday I spent the day doing one last documentation check. I followed the London Embassy Website per the instructions on our Interview letter. I printed out a checklist, recommended by the website, just to make sure we had everything we needed.
Stephen got there at 7:30am. There were about 15 people ahead of him, unfortunately they all had cell phones and had to leave the line to go to the chemist and drop them off. That took some time because they argued and debated. The woman in front of him actually got through and once inside the building pulled it out and started making a call while waiting in the security line inside the building. They made a big stink about that. I don't understand some people.
Stephen got his number around 7:50am and was called straight away. The asian woman took his neatly labeled and organized packed and started going through it. She was terribly rude. She told Stephen he didn't need any pict... read complete review

Generally a very pleasant and quick experience.
I had an early morning appointment, arrived early and queued up outside.
I was in and out within the hour. Was asked a few questions, how we met, when we were getting married, what I planned to do after getting married for an occupation.
Then I paid my fee for delivery of visa and left

So I arrived at London the night before my interview and stayed at the Lincoln House Hotel. After checking in I took a walk down to the Embassy so I knew where to go the following morning.
My appointment was at 9am so I woke up at 7am, had breakfast and got ready. I arrived at the Embassy at 8am, there was no cue so I just presented my passport and interview appointment letter, then headed through to have my belongings checked.
I then walked around the side of the building (which was clearly signposted) and walked up the stairs. The lady at the reception desk attached a ticket number to my interview appointment letter and told me to sit near window 1.
I waited for about 1 hour, 45 mins beofre being called up to the booth. I had the Mongolian lady and, as most people report, she does talk quietly but that was ok. She had a pretty bad cough so I gave her one of my cough sweets and that put a smile on her face
I gave fingerpr... read complete review
