The whole thing went really smoothly for me. I turned up at the Gould Pharmacy to hand in my mobile and anything else that i had in my pockets that was not needed (like earphones- i figured better to be safe than sorry). They put everything in a baggie and give you a receipt.
There was a queue out the front of the embassy when i arrived, and it was raining, there was no cover, but i didn't expect there to be. Someone checks your papers, then you proceed thru the little security hut where the x-ray you and your stuff, airport style.
Then follow the arrows to the lobby area which is just a large hall filled with chairs, information screens in the middle, and a little shop where you can buy refreshments. There is a passport photo booth too, in case you need it.
The desk in the antechamber stuck a sticker to my appointment letter which had a ticket number which was my turn to be called. I took a seat, and within 30 minutes my number had been ... read complete review

Interview date: 27 Apr 2011.
Interview time: 08:30
I left the hotel, about 10 minutes away from the Embassy, at 07:40. I got to the embassy just before 08:00. It's an extremely easy building to spot - huge, iron fenced place, with armed guards standing around it. I followed the arrows around to the front door.
I queued up in the outside queue, and an employee came to look at my payment receipt and my appointment letter. Everything was in order, so I continued to wait. I was also told to remove any belts or jewellery and put them in my bag. At the front of the queue, another employee, this one looked more like a guard, also checked the same documents. He led me to another, shorter queue, for the security building.
Inside the security building, I put my bag (a regular sized rucksack/backpack which caused no problems) into a security box, and my pocket contents in another. I stepped through a metal detector, and had to show them the large metal ... read complete review

I arrived at the embassy around 7:30am for my 9am interview and was surprised to see the size of the queue. There were around 20-30 people in front of me and it took around 20 minutes to get through security. Once inside, I had to show my interview letter, passport and receipt. I was then issued a ticket with a number on it and was told to wait down the far end of the hall as that’s where the window I would be called to was. After waiting for around a half an hour, my number was called. I went to the window where the rudest woman I've ever met greeted me. I handed her my police certificate, court records (as I had 2 minor crimes,) birth certificate, passport and 2 passport-sized photos- which she told me where not good enough even though they were UK passport-standard. After a few heated words, she accepted that it wasn't my fault that her machine didn't work on them and gave them back to me. Finally, I had to give my fingerprints. She then gave me another ticket number (which was th... read complete review

I arrived at Goulds pharmacy about 7:20, and left my electronics with them and was in the line for the Embassy by 7:30. My actual appointment wasn't until 8:30. The most stressful point of the interview was going through security. I had a bag (larger than the average purse), and I was worried they would say something. They didn't, however, they made me drink some of my water (to make sure it was water) that I had in my bag before letting me in. When I arrived at the reception desk the lady put a few stickers on my form and told me to wait by window 1. About 15 minutes later I was called up to the window and was asked for my passport, passport pictures, police certificates, birth certificate, I-134, employee letter, transcripts and recent pay stubs (from my fiancé). I was worried they would keep the originals of my police certificate as I wanted them back, however, she said I could have them back. I know that some people aren't given them back, so not sure if that is down to wh... read complete review
