I got into the long line at 8.15, there were a ton of people already waiting; Including Ashley from Ashley and Pudsey on Britains Got Talent!
Eventually I was admitted inside the embassy at 8:50, and was given a ticket number man I917 number at reception, these numbers are few and far between, so prepared to be there for a good while!
I was called to a pleasant English guy at around 9:45 who gathered the relevant documents from me and asked me where abouts Matthew was. He then handed me my chest Xray on a CD and gave me a pink courier slip to complete. I was then advised to wait until called again.
I then began the dreaded wait again for my number to be called by the next officer, I was eventually called to window 16. Where a Chinese- American was, I read his badge 'Vice Counseller' Here we go I thought.
Be prepared, the questions that this officer asks are somewhat bizarre and intrusive.
Firstly he asked, Where is Matthew? What does h... read complete review

I got to the embassy at 6:40 am and waited for Goulds to open up to store my phone, etc.
At 7:30 I was back at the embassy in the que that consisted of ME.
At the front of the line a lady checked my name off and I waited until called forward by the guard.
At 7:45 I was inside the embassy with number I901. Still just me in the waiting room that holds over 300.
At 8:00 am sharp the screens booted up and 2 more people came in. My number was called, I was the first person called.
I went to booth 14 where I was welcomed by a cheerful English guy. He went through the paper work, took my fingerprints, gave me my chest xray cd and the pink slip for the courier. He asked me if my wife's job had changed, if her income had changed. I said no and that was it. He said this could be quick as only booths 16 and 17 are open for the day. Off I went back to the seating area it was 8:15
I filled in my pink slip and at 8:32 I wa... read complete review

Turned up in plenty of time for 09.00 interview, advised as queues developing already. Left all electronics including phone and car keys at left luggage at Euston, people were still being turned away not realising these are no permitted. Queued for about 25 minutes before going through security and into embassy. Once in got issued number at desk and then waited to be called to first desk, about 30 minutes. This was over quickly, handed in documents and answered a few questions then told to await second call. Another wait of about 30 minutes and I was called up to the second desk for interview, very brief, asked some questions about how we met etc and was then told no problems approved. Paid for courier on way out all done and dusted in about 2 hours give or take. No worries.

If it's wet take an umbrella as you have to wait in line outside first before being granted entry. No ELECTRONICS/PHONES allowed. You must have your passport, appointment letter and Visa Payment form with you or they will not let you in.
Once inside expect a wait, a long wait. The first time you get called is to go through your paperwork. The next time you get called is for interview. Both of these things are held at little booths, like bank tellers. Just be yourself, try not to worry and it should all be fine.
The guy who did my interview was really nice and friendly and it was a quick and relatively pain free process. After being told I had been approved I went to the courier desk to pay for (£16-£37) and arrange what time of day I wanted my passport with visa stamp to be delivered. And that was it...I was in for about 3 hours and spent 15-20 minutes of that doing visa stuff, the rest was waiting!! Like I said, expect a wait...bring a book.

Apart from a 45 minute stand outside in the rain the actual interview process was pretty much as I expected. It's a pain not to be allowed mobile phones or I players but the local chemist down the road (Goulds I think) looks after them for £3. Interview was scheduled for 8.30 and I left the embassy with an approval at about 11.40.
Take something to read as sitting waiting can be boring, although you can buy snacks, tea coffee ect.
