Mark walked from Bond Street underground station to Brook Street (Grosvenor Square). He could see the line for Embassy from the park. While in line, he was greeted by a woman who asked about watch, belt, wallet, coins, and gave him a plastic bag to put it in for security screening. They checked passport and letter outside just before security screening and got his stuff back. WAs asked not to put his stuff on until he got to the next building (around the corner and up steps). There is a desk there, and they looked at the letter and gave him the pink form, and 3 stickers with the I-number on.
He took it upstairs, put on his stuff again and sat down. The room was fairly full with people blue forms (Non-Immigrant) forms He got through security and seated by 9:10, but waited nearly 2 hours to before being called up. An African American lady who couldn't decide between friendly or not. She didn't ask for most of the documents, but was truly interested was his divorce cert... read complete review

I started the day with virtually NO sleep as I was far to excited and worried at the same time, as are most who go through this process.
Probably only getting about 3 hours sleep during the night if that.
I woke up at 4am in the morning had a shower and put on smart casual work place type clothing and made myself look smart for the interview.
Then after a much needed coffee, waited outside for my Taxi to the train station.
I had already bought the tickets in advance to get the train to London and Tube to Bond street close to the Embassy. This saved me a lot of worry about trying to get tickets from a machine outside :-)
The train arrived on time and had no problems on the journey. I had to ask the information desk about what tube to get to arrive at Bond Street.
I arrived in plenty of time actually VERY early on purpose, as I needed to find Goulds Pharmacy to store my phone and keys in.
After getting to my first stop the Goulds Pharmacy,... read complete review

I'm writing this review on behalf of my husband who had his interview at the London embassy this morning. He arrived at the Bond Street Station around 6:35am (left from Leatherhead, which is about an hour train trip), got a coffee at McDonald's and walked down to the embassy. He arrived at the embassy at approx. 6:50am and there were a few people who had started making their own line so he joined it. Around 7am they brought the desk out and started checking people in from 7:30am. He didn't bring any electronics with him, so there was no issue with having to go to Gould's. He was inside and got his "I Number" by around 7:45am. At 8:00am they booted up the screens and started calling numbers. He said there were a lot more "N numbers" than "I numbers" being called.
Shortly after 8:00am, he got called to the first window where a British man reviewed his paperwork and took his fingerprints and passport. He also signed off this DS-230, was given the pink sheet for the courier... read complete review

My interview was scheduled for 9am this morning, we stayed overnight in London at Marble Arch and walked down to the embassy to see how long it would take - 10 mins.
This morning, I arrived at the embassy at 8am for my interview. There was a long queue in front of me and many, many people still had mobile phones... they all got sent off to store them. I reached the security point at 8.50am and went into the embassy. The embassy was busy to the point of manic!
Having been given my 'I' number at reception, I settled down to wait. Lots of 'N' numbers called, the first 'I' number was called at 9.10am At 9.25am my number was called and I went to the window to check in my documents. The English guy there was friendly and polite but it was clear to me that this is purely procedural. I began to relax as I realised that no one was expecting there to be a problem, I just had to have the right documents. The only document that was queried was the I-134, the guy asked... read complete review

It was all pretty much the same as everybody else has described previously, Get through security, see the receptionist, sit in the hall and wait to be called...
The first window I went to they just took my docs, really nice helpful guy.
The second window a very dead pan gentleman interviewed me, to be honest I cant even remember the questions he asked as I was so nervous! but when he told me i was approved I wanted to jump through the glass and hug him!!
All in i think I got through in about two hours, including queuing up outside the embassy so not too painful at all!
