This is a review for a Consular Report of Birth Abroad.
Im going to go from the beginning at Kings Cross and St. Pancras to help anybody coming through there! After getting off the train, we headed towards the underground station. Once down there we paid £7 each (after 9:30am I believe) and went to platform 4 (towards Brixton) on the Victoria line. We changed at Oxford Circus to the Central line (towards Ruislip) and got off a Bond Street. Once we got out (with a lot of difficulty with a stroller!) we turned left onto Oxford Street. We walked down probably 4 or 5 blocks until we came to North Audley Street on our left. We turned down there, walked along to almost the end and found Goulds on the other side of the street. An assistant in there took our phones and camera and put them in the small bag for £3. He took my phone number and name and wrote them on the bag and I paid at the counter. They gave me a raffle style ticket back to keep until I wanted my things back. T... read complete review

I arrived at the US Embassy after dropping my phone off at Gould's just minutes before and joined the short queue at around ten to eight.
A few minutes later I was told to place any items that were in my pockets into a clear plastic bag before while I wait for security to check my details. I was ushered forward and they checked my passport, MRV fee receipt and interview appointment letter before being directed through the security hut and to go on to the main building.
Once inside I was given my ticket number and told to sit down. I must have been early as they were calling N1 just as I entered the room!
if you're going, dress light. The room is an oven. Even with my nerves there were numerous people fanning themselves off. There is a passport photo machine but you'll need change. FYI no one accepts American Express in the Embassy.
After about five minutes I was asked to go to window 14 where in was greeted by a British man ... read complete review

I got to the USA embassy at 7:20 for my 8am appointment, they made us queue outside while checking our appointment letter and passport and make sure we didnt have anything like phones, car keys etc with us. Before letting 4 people in at a time through the VISA entry, they checked again appointment letter and VISA fee receipt.
Got through security very quickly and then walked to the entrance, where at reception I was given my number: I902. It was 7:38 when I sat down in the waiting room to be called at 8 at desk 14 where a friendly guy asked for appointment letter, visa fee receipt and passport, went to get my pink folder and started dissembling my file. I was asked for 2 passport photos and my birth certificate. I got it from the Italian Consulate in Edinburgh already in English and he wasn't sure it would be accepted as it had a slightly different format than the usual ones (it had both my parents' names on it!).. he asked me how I requested it, so explained that I had filled ... read complete review

I had my interview at 9am. I left my stuff at Gould's so I have no idea when I actually got to the embassy, it was definitely before 8.30, but they let me in anyway (so much for "please don't arrive more than 30 mins early or you won't be allowed in"!)
I queued outside for maybe 10 minutes and then went through security. They do let you bring drinks in (I was wondering if they would), but you have to drink a bit in front of them.
I went inside and was given a ticket at the desk, then walked up the stairs into the waiting area. I was I907 and, as everyone says, they must have called 50 N numbers before I got called up.
After about 15 minutes I was called to window 1, from what I could tell, that was the only window they were using for I numbers. I saw the famous Chinese lady (although, judging by her lanyard, I think she's actually Malaysian). She does speak quietly and quickly, so you do need t... read complete review

My interview was scheduled for today at 9am. I usually get extremely anxious with things like this, and so, I arrived in London at 7am. It took me a while, but I found Gould's Pharmacy and paid £3 for them to keep my phone.
I then found the embassy and waited in line, where a woman checked my MRV payment receipt, and interview letter. Because it was so early, there were very few people there. At 7:30am they started letting people into the second queue and checked passports. We were allowed into the security room 4 people at a time. Nothing major, just put my bag on the belt and walked through the metal detector, like at an airport. The man there wished me good luck and I was out the door.
I followed the path round the side and got to the door, where I was asked again to show my appointment letter. She stuck a number on it and told me to wait in the waiting room. I was only sitting for about 15 minutes when they called my number. (7:50am)
I went to the desk, wher... read complete review
