So nothing new or surprising with my husband's interview.
He left his phone and ipod at Gould's for six pounds right around 7:30am. Into the embassy for his 8am appointment pretty easily. A little waiting then at the first window they went through his file, saw that everything was in order, looked at his passport and took his fingerprints. They didn't even want new passport photos even though the ones we sent to NVC were awful.
More waiting, then he got called up to the friendly American guy interviewer who had already been through the file. Checked his fingerprints, made him swear to tell the truth etc. then asked only one question. "How did you meet your wife?" Then he said he was approved and it was off to pay the courier.
He was also given his x-ray, birth certificate and our marriage certificate back but not the police certificate. He was out a little after 10am. All in all it was thankfully very easy and painfree.

My interview was for 8.00am on 31st July 2009. Fortunately this had coincided with my husband being in the UK for summer shut down so it was great that he could come along. Arrived in good time to get a coffee at Starbucks and then put the electronics into Goulds Pharmacy at 7.30am. Joined the visa queue straight afterwards and had passed through security and we were seated and waiting for our appointment by 7.55am. Our ticket was called at around 08.10am and we were dealt with by a serious lady who went through my paperwork with a fine tooth comb. She picked up on something that hadn't been asked for by USCIS or NVC and that was that I had changed my name by deed poll after my divorce. Neither USCIS or NVC had asked for my change of name deed, but this lady did!!!! Fortunately I had brought the document with me, but had I not done so, it could have affected the outcome - pphheewww!!! Once she had copied this document and answered a few basic questions, we were issued with a pi... read complete review

Wife US citizen, in USA
Me UK citizen, currently in UK
First met online, June 2001, touched May 2002
Travelled/stayed for extended periods in both countries
Married in the UK 17 months ago, have 2 children, one born in UK, other US.
Decided that we would settle in USA.
Caught the train to London from Birmingham Intl Station, takes around 1.15hr, arrived at Euston, caught tube to nearest exit top embassy.
Appointment time was 8.30, got there at 8.10, small line outside the embassy, with security/assistants, over heard that you are not allowed to take any electronics in, for example, mobile phone, remote key fobs, also, only a small bag is allowed. Up to you to sort out where to leave them, they do give you a bit of paper with a few shops/cafes suggested as places you may leave electronic items, but all at your own risk etc etc...
I decided to leave them at passport photo shop on Oxford St, about 3 mins away ... read complete review

IR-5 Visa for Parents of a USC
We left the Marble Arch Holtel at 7:30am to walk to the Embassy. We got there at 7:45am and there was already a very large line waiting to get in, it was also raining...
We got to the first check point and had to show our interview appointment letter and our passports, we were then sent to Security Screening and had the backpack with our copies of everything x-rayed. We were then directed to Immigrant Visas. There was far more people going to the non-immigrant visas than were in our section.
We were given a number ticket 18407 (the numbers started at 18400) We then took a seat in the waiting hall, it was very busy even at 8:15am. Our appointment was for 8:30am so we knew we would have to wait. We sat there for about 50 mins and then our number was called.
We went up to the first window and the man explained that he would be checking that all our papers were in order and he would do our Fingerprin... read complete review

My interview was on 9th July. Appointment was for 9 30 but I got there at 8am via Gould's Pharmacy where I left my mobile. Got through security fine and was given ticket I861 - so I think there were 11 immigrant people before me. I had been in the embassy before to pick up a J visa a few years ago and it hadnt changed much. Was called up at about 9 30 to speak to the first guy. Nice British guy at window 1, he handed me back my x ray and took all my docs... passport, photos, birth cert + copy, police certificate + copy, I 134, tax returns, employer letter, pay stubs. He said everything looked in order but the co would have the final say. I paid for my visa and sat down with the courier form. I read the paper and waited a bit longer until i heard my number, was only about 40 minutes after i had seen the first guy. I was up at window 16 and it was the young friendly american guy. He was very friendly, made me swear to tell the truth and he just started asking in a friendly manner where w... read complete review
