Ade’s appointment was this morning, 9 am. He got there at 8:30. He had the good sense to leave all objects forbidden in his trunk, and put the key in his hide-a-key spot on the car. He left his phone as well. All of these items are forbidden. He had all of his documents in a plastic “Tesco” bag, since back packs, brief cases, and any large containers are forbidden. He noticed when he got in line (or queue as he puts it), there were many people who had phones, iPods, keys, and being turned away. He had to remove his watch, glasses, shoes, belt, and wallet for the scan and security screening. He noticed there were between 150-200 people there waiting in the seats.
No sooner was he through security when he looked up at the board and saw his number was being called! Still holding his belt in his hands, he ran to the window (window 13) and checked in. A chatty, friendly African American woman greeted him and asked for his paperwork. He handed over his documents, and as... read complete review

The interview went well, they asked a lot of questions so make sure you know all the answers about your petitioner and partner. You are not allowed any electrical items of any kind, this includes remote controls for your car and earphones. I forgot about my earphones in my bag and had to throw them away in a dustbin! But I was allowed my hearing aids.
Make sure you get there as early as you can. Apart from that, everything went well and I was approved.

I thought I'd share my experience as I personally found reading the reviews really helped me prior to my interview.
So I arrived at 7.15am for my 8am appointment. At this point there was a large crowd gathering patiently outside. At approx 7.30 we started being called four at a time inside the security office. At this point our passports, MRV receipts and appointment confirmation letter were being checked. If you are wearing watches belts etc you just take these off whilst you walk through the scanner.
Once inside the building I got my number and sat down patiently. Looking around and taking a moment to see there is an opportunity for all those people who forgot passport photos to have these done, there is a passport photo machine available. I was called to window 13, I know unlucky right, to see an unfriendly black lady. Maybe I was her first one of the morning, but didn't make me feel at ease at all. All he standard routine stuff of handing over passport... read complete review

A long morning, but knew what to expect from advice here, and other sites, plus the US Embassy's YouTube clips helped :-D
No complaints, the system works, especially with so many people going through each day, and the staff I had to talk to were all friendly and polite :-)
I'd recommend you wear layers, as it was quite warm with all those people in one room :-D

8.30 - phone deposited at pharmacy and in line for security at the embassy! After emptying my bag and everything going thru the scanner separately following the scanner showing electronics, he finally asked if I had any cards that have batteries or anything and I thought - OH YEAH!!!!! I had 2 cards in the file that Jason had sent that speak to me!! He took them back out to mum who had been waiting to see me in ok and gave them to her! Bag repacked, rescanned and off I went to go in!
8.40am - sitting in embassy - let the wait commence!
