Arrived at 8.15 for a 9am interview to discover it was raining despite being fairly sunny when I got on the tube in South London. A raincoat would have been good as there is a fairly lengthy queue outside the embassy to get in, or rather 3 queues you have to do one after the other before going through the security check. The staff outside were pretty friendly and the two blokes inside the security building were a barrel of laughs, and it was good to be able to crack a smile at that point as the nerves were beginning to build. Once past security you have to round two sides of the building before going in. You get your ticket inside the lobby and then into the waiting area proper. All the different visa wait there but that morning there were 24 people with 5000 (immigrant) numbers that morning and I was 5014. There were a lot more going for work/student visas etc. I couldn't work out which order they called people in but the 5000 queue moves at a lot slower rate. There are big screens ... read complete review

Turned up at 6:50 for 8am interview only to find a queue had already formed in front of the Embassy! The security started to let us through at 7:30. It helped being there so early because I got the very first immigrant visa number 5000. It looks like all 5000 people were told the same thing, to wait around window 1 so when they started calling us, it was a bit of a track to get to windows 13 and 14. I was called up to window 13 around 8:10, 8:15. The first thing I was asked was whether I had my medical yet and when I said yes, she asked when since it still hasn't arrived here. My heart just sank after that. I was so disappointed because the Knightsbridge doctors’ definitely had enough time to deliver it. She was sooooo slow in checking everything and took good 5 minutes just getting all her stationary ready.  Wasn't all that clued in either. At one point she said "there is no such thing as British Croatian" and I said I know but the question asked to list... read complete review

SO i had a 9am interview! but i decided to get there early and skip the que! Arrived at the embassy at 7 30 and was through security by 8am. As i qued up my dad decided he would wait around til i got in! but guess what happened he started to take pictures of me in the que! and he got asked by a police officer why he was taking pictures! lol so while i was going through security my dad had to persuade the officer he wasnt a terrorist HAHA
Any way i got to the main building and got my ticket. Number 5002 so it is well worth getting their early to jump the que! Once then i went into the waiting room which has all the interview booths on the right side and 4 big tv screens calling your number out! ITs very simple to follow so no need to worry.
After waiting about 30 mins i got called to window 1 and had to give them my finger prints and was asked for my passport, birth certificate, Police record, and affidavits! At window 1 was fei lei a small chinese woman, ... read complete review

had a long wait.
then i got called up after two hours. They want you to tick the box on the affidavit form, with I intend and give a reason. So we have to send the form back with a courier. HOwever she told us that we were approved. just be aware of that.

The long awaited interview that we all stress about was easy man. Fear nothing and don't go in there loaded with a rainforest of paperwork. Take what they ask for (with copies oviously) and anything you really feel you must take. I waited about 4 hours which was the worst part. I literally got seen for 15 mins in total from the first dude you see who takes your paperwork right up to the actual person who says yes or no. Not scary, not stressful, just plain boring waiting for your number to be called. It felt like I was waiting in the never ending cheese counter queue. My experience was pretty decent and the best thing was going to celebrate afterwards even though I had to send in additional documentation before getting my visa. DO NOT STRESS!
