I arrived on North Audley Street at 8:30am and paid the £3 to have Goulds Pharmacy hold my phone for me. My appointment was for 9:30am. I got to the embassy at 8;35am and there were about ten people already in the queue. I was asked for my name by a lady and upon finding me on her list, she instructed me to take a clear plastic bag to put my watch, belt and loose change in. I joined the queue and was told by the security guard at the front of the queue to have my appointment letter and passport ready. My letter and passport were checked and I was instructed to join the smaller queue just in front of the embassy guard house. They were letting people in 4 at a time and the queue went in very quickly. I put my plastic bag and wallet into a tray, with my document folder going through separately, and they were passed through the x-ray scanner. I then walked through the metal detector. All 4 of us in the guard house had to stand back against the wall as our items came through the scanner an... read complete review

Interview time: 9am
My train arrived at St Pancras at about 7.40am. Walked towards the Embassy, stopped at Goulds and paid £3 for them to look after my phone. Walked along to the Embassy, about 8.30 by this point. There was just a few people in front of me but there seemed to be a lot of other people stood in another queue. I got asked for my passport and interview letter, got my name crossed off the list, given a bag to put my belt in, and told to go join the line for the security check point. Went through security quickly with no problems, out the door of the hut, turned right, walked around and went up the steps and in to the reception desk, showed my appointment letter and passport and was given a number. Went up the steps and into main hall where there were lots of people. I sat waited, read a bit, waited some more, got my number called, went to see nice lady at a window round the corner and down the corridor. I got finger printed then asked some questions including fiance... read complete review

Well here I am ,never thought i would get here.My appointment letter arrive a week to me attending a management meeting in London 11 October, which was a good thing as the interview was schedulled for 13th October @ 09.00, this was a good thing as i was travelling from Littleborough in Lancashire, it gave me the chance to stay in london for a couple of days. I stayed within the KingsCross area near to the tub station (very Central),a taxi journey away costing around £8-10.00.(for some reason all the recommended hotels near to the Embassy were full). The day before the interview i spent shopping and sight seeing, headed to Oxford Street and Convent Garden, returned late to the hotel, settled down for the night with a take away curry and the Soaps, was not able to get much sleep as i thinking about the interview, the next morning 0.700 hours alarm woke me, got ready. Took a taxi to the Embassy, dropped off my luggage and all electronics, keys at Gould Pharmacy ( as recommended) cost £... read complete review

I won't get into the process of getting into the Embassy as I think that's been covered. The lady at the first window tried to tell John he was missing info regarding his most recent visit to the states. He advised her the proper paperwork was submitted with the dates on it. Thank goodness I sent him a copy of the paperwork because the woman just took our copy and used that. John was called to the 2nd window and the interviewer asked the following questions. Why did you leave when the K1 was issued? How long ago did we meet? How do we continue to communicate? How long have you ever lived in the States. Followed by I'm approving your visa...good luck! Easy peasy even with an old K1 from before.

My interview was scheduled for 8:00 so I got there for 7 as I'd heard it was first come, first served. At 7:45 they started checking people off the register and sent us into security checks. After the security checks we followed the path round the side of the building and were lead to a desk where a woman was checking our letters and giving us our corresponding numbers. We went to sit dow;, luckily I had made a friend and we were chatting which made the time go a little quicker and the nerves a little calmer. Roughly 45 mins later I was called to my interview window where a little Chinese lady took my I-134 forms, passport, photos and my birth and polices certificates and their photocopies, she gave me my pink courier form to fill out and my Doctors Cd (she said iIhave to keep this with my confidential envelope at POE) went and sat down and filled in the form.
By this time it was 9:30 and I started a wait which seemed to last FOREVER.
roughly another 30 mi... read complete review
