So the interview is complete, and what an anti-climax it was!
Interview was scheduled for 9am and I arrived at 8:30am (later than I meant to arrive!) Got the train from Brighton at the obscene hour of 6:29am and arrived into Victoria at 7:35. Tubed it to Green Park and walked from there, which probably took 15 minutes (navigated by my iPhone looking like a right tourist!). Actually ended up at the Canadian Embassy and it took me a while to spot the giant American flag on the other side of the park!
I had been to the embassy before about 5 years ago for my J1 student visa, so knew vaguely what to expect. I had prepared before hand and didnt even bother taking anything electronic with me, just a bag full of everything ive ever sent in and more!
Queued for about 5 minutes, if that, then a lady took my interview letter and sent me forward to another line (compiled of two people!) Got called forward and gave my passport to the guy and he joked ab... read complete review

Well here is my long awaited interview review.
I woke up at 5.30 after a terrible nights sleep worrying  ..... Luckily i only live a 20 minute bus ride from the Embassy. Got off at Selfridges and down North Audley Street to find Goulds Pharmacy.
Goulds Pharmacy
I arrived there approx 8.20. It was a busy little Pharmacy. Cost me £3.00 to keep my electronics. They had a list of things that you cant take in with you. I then asked about getting my Photo taken the man told me to go to the back. It was all done very professionally and a bunch of nice guys. In all i was in there about 10 mins. Cost me £5.00 for 2 American sized photos. So £8.00 in all. The Embassy is about a minute or 2 from there.
The Embassy
There were 2 queues the lady told me to get in line and i think there must have been about 15 people befire me. It didnt take long. I went through security. My knees were shaking lol i was so... read complete review

My appointment was for 8:30am, I turned up at 7:50am and had to queue for 50 minutes, however being ten minutes late wasn't important. Some people in the queue were 30 minutes late due to not expecting a queue and it was no problem. They allocate you a ticket once you get inside so there is nobody waiting on you as such. Entering the embassy was a high security process. Do not take large bags, people were turned away. Do not take any electronic devices, people were turned away.
I waited an hour to be called up for stage one. You are called to a specific window, there are 24 windows at the embassy. The woman was very friendly and British. I was asked first for my affidavit, and then my police certificate and finally my birth certificate. She asked if I wanted these documents back and I affirmed, so she asked for copies, which I then provided. I was asked a number of questions like, if I had ever been arrested, or ever refused entry to the US. I was then asked to pay for t... read complete review

Hey folks,
Given some of the reviews that have been written and had helped to relax me about the whole process I wanted to write my own so that hopefully others can find the same strength to get through what is a very stressful process at times.
My interview was at 9am and I got there at 0745 because I was up and about and was so antsy that I just needed to get there and get on with it. This turned out to be a very good decision as I got in and ended up being called up around 9am anyway!!
You queue outside and are split into US citizen services and non US citizen services. You are called forward and you show your interview date confirmation letter and then you join a smaller queue as you wait to get through security. At this stage you are simply just stood outside the embassy on the pavement.
This process of going through security is easy and you are literally in there for about a minute. They just scan the stuff in your h... read complete review
