(Written from husband's perspective based on my recollection of our early morning conversation) 
Arrived in London the evening prior and scouted out Underground routing to embassy. Took copies of everything we had submitted previously just in case. Bit nervous about forgetting evidence of trips together and maybe a form or two, but this ended up being a non-issue.
Early breakfast and set off around 0730. Arrived at the embassy at 0800, and through the line to the waiting room by 0809. Sat around for an hour while all the N numbers were being called, then an I number (oh, mine!) for window 13. Very nice British lady, put me at ease - "Yes, it's unlucky number 13 but don't worry, I don't bite!" and reviewed all the paperwork. Everything was in order, just had to turn in copies of terminal leave paperwork, then back to waiting for 40 minutes or so.
Cup of tea later, I number called again to window 16. This time, a very nice... read complete review

Well what can i say, well here is a brief outline of how my day went.
Appointment was scheduled for 08:30 and i was at the embassy by 07:30 and there was a line of about 10 ahead of me. I was asked to show my Interview letter (packet 4) and also my passport and my MRV Visa receipt. I then waited in the security line and we were called forward 4 people at a time. We were reminded that no electrical items were allowed. Once through security i went round and up the stairs to be greeted by a receptionist who asked for my MRV form only and he scanned the bar code and gave e my ticket number I902.
I was then asked to go take a seat in the waiting room and wait for my number to be called forward, there was about 20 or so people aleady in the room, all with different applications and various ticket numbers i was 3rd in line for immigrant visa as the numbers start with I900 for immigrant visa.
I sat there patiently but nervously waiting for the scree... read complete review

So after a 2 hour drive, I arrived in London at 6:15. Obviously way too early to be queuing at the embassy, so I went down the road to the cafe next door to Goulds pharmacy. After a nice refreshing cuppa and relaxing sit down 7am soon came around.
I walked over to the Embassy and was fourth in line. I had a 9am appointment, but with London it is first come first served. Whilst waiting for the security people to get themselves sorted another VJ member, Nigel, turned up. We had a quick chat before security opened up at 7:30. We were called one by one over to a guy outside the security booth. He checked my appointment letter, MRV receipt and passport. Then we were let into the security booth in groups of four. This is just an enclosed area, with an airport type security scanner, where your bags are x-rayed before being let into the Embassy building itself.
From there I walked around the side of the Embassy and up the steps to the reception desk. The lady behi... read complete review

Arrived at the Embassy an hour early. Huge queue which turned out to be Camp America kids. Thought it would take an age to get in but the officer directed me to another entry point and I got straight in! Once inside, got given my number and sat in the waiting area until called. Didn't take long, maybe 15 minutes, and was called to an English woman, who looked pretty miserable. She took the required documentation from me and then told me to wait to be called again. The second wait was longer, maybe 35 minutes. This time instead of my number being called by the computer voice, my name was called by human voice which was a surprise! Make sure you listen carefully just in case you are called in this way because the room is very noisy and I could hardly hear his voice. No one else seemed to be called this way so I wasn't expecting it.
Once I arrived at the second window I was greeted by a very friendly American guy who asked me a couple of very simple questions: where did we meet, w... read complete review

Monday 21st March 2011
Interview at the Embassy.
On this day I woke up at 5:20am. I left my house at around 5:53am. I jumped on the 6:08 train (The early one but still quite busy). I took the district line train to Westminster and then the Jubilee line to Bond Street. I took this route as there are far less crowds for that time of morning whereas the central line is hot and overcrowded.
I arrived at Bond Street station and approx 7am. Oxford street was really empty for a change and the shops hadn’t even opened yet. I then made my way to the embassy. It was a short 5 minute walk away. Once I had arrived, there were three women to the right of the Embassy getting their papers ready. They all looked a little nervous. I stood the in queue which had about 4 people in front of me. However none were applying for the same type of visa that I was. Some of the embassy employees then came out and checked our documents (Packet 4). Only about 10 minute... read complete review
