For anyone attending a visa interview in London, my 1st piece of advice would be - go to the US EMBASSY LONDON website and watch their YouTube information video 'Attending a Non-Immigrant Visa Interview'. This will give you a very good idea what to expect, and I strongly urge you all to do this. The video can be found here - http://www.usembassy.org.uk/youtube/index.html. Otherwise here's my personal account of what happened on my own Interview day...
I was a little anxious to be honest and had been for a couple of days running up to the big day. My interview appointment was scheduled for 8am, and after a sleepless night and a very early wake up, I arrived at the London Embassy in Grosvenor Square just after 7am. It was still dark... luckily I'd missed the earlier rain and it was dry - but do make sure you bring a small umbrella or coat as you will be waiting outside for a while.

Interview scheduled for 9.30am
I arrived at Gould's Pharmacy at 8:30am. They stored my MacBook, 2 iPods (don't ask), keys, USB cable & my mobile phone, ALL for just £3!! Bargain!
The Embassy security system has changed vastly since I last here in 2006 & 2007, seems much more efficient....
I joined the queue for Visas, and with Only 3 people ahead of me it was already looking good. Within a few minutes I was through security, past reception and inside the waiting area. It took only approx 20 minutes before I was called to Window 13, was my luck about to end? lol. After being asked for my Police certificate, FULL birth certificate and a USA sized mugshot I was instructed to pay the $131 fee at the next window TIP!!! Pay in cash to get the best rate!!
After sitting back down, it was a near full 2 hours before I would be summoned for my interview with the Consular Officer. While the wait began with nerves and ex... read complete review

I travelled down the night before, my interview was on Tuesday 6th Oct, got a flight to Luton Airport(was the cheapest)off flight on to waiting but to the Parkway for the train into London, half an hour away, arrived at St.Pancras station and walked to the hotel i had booked which was just across the road from the station, it was nothing swanky just cheap, would only be there for one night,found it on www.londontown.com.
Ok, made my way to the Embassy stopping off at the Pharmacy to leave my cell phone(£4) which you dont get back,my appointment was at 0930 so i arrived at 0830, at the outside of the building you have to show your letter of appointment for them to tick you off their sheet for the day to allow you to pass to security, again which is outside the building, once past here you are directed to the main reception door where you show your letter again and they give you a pink sheet and a barcode with a number on it. you make your way up a flight of stairs to the main ha... read complete review

Hi, complicated time for us... We filed for a CR1/CR2 initially last year, or so we thought. Turns out we should have filed a separate I-130 for my 11 year old daughter. Did not realise this until after I-130 was approved. So we have a compassionate filing for my daughter, DCF, alongside my CR1.
I think it took several miracles that my daughter's papers were considered at the same interview as me. I had to hand in her I-864 things and submit documents, as well as going over my things. Daughter was only told she could be at the interview at 3pm on Friday. I had sooooo much paperwork with me.
So ! We had train tickets, and accomodation booked for both of us. My husband was coming over for the interview, so I knew she could be with him if she was not to be interviewed. (It counted as a separate case, so the below 14 rule did not apply. (Medical for her was added to mine cos I asked, a lot of begging along the way.) Anyways, appointment was for 9am. We arri... read complete review

Well my interview appointment was for 09:00 on Monday morning. I got a train down the night before and stayed in a TraveLodge in Marylebone which was a 10 minute cab ride away from the Embassy.
I woke up at 07:00 and left by 07:50. I got a cab from outside Marylebone station and arrived at the Embassy at around 08:00. I joined the line and got in and got my number at 08:28. i659 was my number. I was first called at about 09:00 to window 13 and he took my fingerprints and gave me my chest X-Ray back, and I provided my birth certificate, Police certificate, financial support and while he looked at that I paid the fee in the next window. I then went back to the guy and he had an inch thick pink file! I made a joke about the pink file and after a short while he said to go back and wait to be called again.
I was called back at about 09:45 and went to window 15. It was an American lady and she was very nice. She took my fingerprints, made me sign a document and ... read complete review
