hi all,
My CR-1 interview was on 14 may at US embassy, london. I had my medical done well in advance (3 weeks) so that there was ample time for the results to reach the embassy. I prepared/arranged all the documents which were mainly the interview letter, wedding pics, email's, all the correspondence letters that we have recieved since the start of the case, my bank statements, utility bills, employment proof and other similar stuffs.
Since I live in london so it wasnt a real hassle to commute as I knew the area well and reached the embassy well in advance by Tube.
Went inside the embassy, was handed a token number and was seated in a room full of people like me.
When my token number became current, went to the window and the guy asked me my passport. he handed me my medical result and took my fingerprints. Asked me to take the seat. I was again called and this time oo-la-laa two young ladies took my interview. They asked where my wife lived, what ... read complete review

Arrived at the london embassy about 8-00am ( Interview was 9-00)thought i would be first there...Jesus the queue was huge already, it took me about 20 mins to get through to security. Scanned me no probs , then made my way to the front desk were they printed my I no and barcode and stuck it on my letter. Then made my way to the main hall and sat down with the rest of the people. Waited about 30 mins untill my no was called out and went to window 1. The oriental lady behind the screen asked me for various forms but she talked so quiet and fast i could hardly tell what she was saying, gave her what she wanted and she asked me to sign the DS- 230, so i asked to borrow her pen ( i forgot mine) Jesus she wasn't impressed she mumbled " why haven't you brought your own" Ooops i forgot it i said...Again.. mumble mumble under her breath. She finally.. kind of tossed under the counter... cheers !! i said, i signed and she told me to go and pay the visa fee at another window. Off i went and payed... read complete review

Appointment was at 9am. After dropping off luggage at St Pancras and electronics at Gould's pharmacy, joined the queue outside the embassy at around 8.30. It took about 30 minutes to get through security so I got my ticket number at around 9am.
At around 10am I was called to window 1. My finger prints were taken, and I was asked for my DS157 since I had not included it in the items I sent to the embassy. I signed two copies of one of the DS156 I'd originally sent in. Then I was asked for my passport, birth certificate and copy, police certificate and copy and the affidavit of support. I was handed my X-ray in an envelope and told to put it in my suitcase when traveling. I was sent to window 12 to pay, returned to window 1 to hand in my receipt and sat back down to wait.
It took around 40 minutes before I was called to window 16. I was given back my original documents. I was asked to swear that I was telling the truth before signing the DS156K and printi... read complete review

I travelled to London early, dropped all my electronics at goulds pharmacy which cost me £5. Also be aware you need 2 American sized passport photos, which can also be done at goulds.
My interview was for 9:30 am... I arrived at 8, and trust me brace yourself for wait. Well after 20 minutes of waiting and getting checked over, I finally went into the embassy. Handed them my letter and was given a number....
3 hours later....
I was asked to go to window 13, he took my fiancées W2 and proof of support. My criminal record check, my Birth certificate and he asked me to pay the fee then give him the receipt. He then gave me a pink paper to fill in then asked me to take a seat.
30 minutes later....
I was called to window 15, had my finger prints taken and was asked questions about how I met my fiancée and when we planned to marry... What state he lived in and how long he had lived there, what was the exact date we ... read complete review

No problems in at 8:30 out by 11:45 but was told it was a quiet day.
Make sure that you are prepared so you are not scrambling round for papers at the window as they seem to hate that. the lady at the first window was very slow and then got a little exhasperated with me when I was getting the docs out to pass her even though I was as prepared as I possibly could be.
The actually consolate officer who said yes or no (yes in my case) was lovely though.
