Left Carnoustie at 7pm and got the bus to Dundee.
Left Dundee at 8:40pm on the overnight bus to London and arrived at Victoria Coach Station (right in the centre of London) at 7:00am. Dropped my bags into Left Luggage for the princely sum of £3.45 for 24hrs. Walked to Goulds Pharmacy (about 20 min walk) which is right around the corner from the Embassy and got 4 Photos for £7.60.
Went for a coffee and breakfast at the cafe beside Gould's and statred queing at the embassy at 9:30am (appointment was at 10am). Took exactly 30 mins to get through security. Saw quite a few people getting turned away for having mobiles or not having the right documents.
Went inside and got my I number for the day. Mine was I-924 but when I got there they were only just caling out I-908. I thought ahhh won't be too long now. Boy was I wrong 2 hours later I got called.
When I finally got to the window the very nice and polite gentleman asked for th... read complete review

javascript:emoticon(' ')Seriously am over the moon. Visa approved after all the checking and double checking and total focus on all this paperwork....Its a serious relief.
Left at 5 am from Westhoughton England (North of Greater Manchester) caught a cab to the train station, Manchester Piccadilly. 5:05am Caught a train to London arrived London Hueston station at 7:30 am. Caught a cab to Goulds Pharmacy putting up my phone and such but first called my S.O. to get my instructions to not forget anything. Got into the cue line at about 08:45 and was through in about 20 minutes. (MAKE SURE TO TAKE THE PACKET FOUR LETTER >>>> THOSE WHO DON'T WERE BEING REFUSED ADMITTANCE) Packet four letter is scanned and stickers placed upon it that give a number. Then was told to go into the hall and wait. (WAIT AND WAIT.......I numbers are much slower then the N numbers) Was called after about a hour and forty five minutes. Went to window 13 and the young man asked for t... read complete review

I got to the embassy at 07:50 for my 08:30 appointment, went through security etc and was seated by about 08:10. There really wasn't much of a queue outside. I was issued an I number, which seemed to be the only set of numbers that were taking forever to deal with as they weren't being called as frequently as the N numbers. I got called up to the first window at around 10, the woman was really nice, she was moaning to me about how much the pharmacy's charge for the visa photos, which helped settle the nerves. She didn't ask for the employment verification stuff and only took one year of tax returns and I think 1 month of wage slips. So I went round the corner and paid and totally forgot to take the receipt back to her! Thankfully I'd only sat down again for about ten minutes before I realised and rushed back to hand it in. So eventually got called up again at about 11:15, greeted by a really nice guy who was very impressed with our application. He said he had read through it and though... read complete review

Lacking in Knowledge when they are phoned, they read set guidelines and the information given is not the same as the information set out by the American NVC
