Sorry i didnt post my review sooner, been busy getting things organised for my departure on the 26th March 
So i stayed at the Marble Arch Inn Hotel the night before as my interview was at 8:30am.
My day started at 6:30am by waking up and jumping in the shower to get myself awake and fresh for what i thought would be a long day ahead. After getting dressed and all that, i set out the door at 7:20 for an easy 15 minute stroll to the Embassy which i had planned the route the day before, stopping off for a newspaper on the way for some decent reading material about United kicking Inter Milans arse the night before.
I arrived at the Embassy at a respectable 7:45 to see that there was already a good 30-35 people in line, there was me thinking i would be right at the front, ha. So after about 10 minutes in line you are asked to show your appointment letter to a woman just before entering the security doors, oh might i add that there are sig... read complete review

I hopped on the tube after paying £7.20 for a day ticket and jumped on the northern Victoria line. It was the same journey I made the last month for my medical. I LOVE the London Underground. It’s London’s most redeeming feature. You can get a tube train every 3 minutes and be virtually anywhere in the city centre in minutes. I’m like an albatross when it comes to navigating by tube. Not that albatrosses are renowned for being good tube navigators. It’s just a silly metaphor that really didn’t need explaining.
I switched over and caught the Jubilee line north to Bond Street. Up at street level, I flipped open the compass Lauren gave me (yes! I actually USED it!) and consulted my mini-map (it was about 3” square) and headed south down Davies Street. Then turned right onto Brook street which led me right to Grosvenor Square.
Ahead of me, I saw the US Embassy. I was disappointed. I’d been expecting some imposing looking building, with high bri... read complete review

I had my interview time for 8 am 6th March 2009
I arrived at the embassy at 7.30 am after leaving my phone and electronic car keys at Gould Pharmacy down the road from the Embassy
I went to the line outside handed over my interview letter and passport and then went through security where they scanned all items that I was bringing in, from there you walk around the outside to the steps to the waiting room.
I was sitting there at 7.20 at 8 the windown opened and it they stated calling the numbers out, I was number 5003 and was called to window 14 at around 8.20.
The gentleman asked for my passport and pictures took my fingerprints, and then asked for birth certificate and copy, I only had an adoption certificate that he said he would have to check if it was ok, which I was not to worried about as it said on packet 3 birth or adoption certificate. I then handed over the police record and a copy, I 134 and supporting documents tax return... read complete review

Arrived at 8.15 am and joined the queue. Got into the embassy about 8:50 am.
Waited untill 10:20 to be called to window 14, asked for originals of birth, divorce and marriage certificates. They accepted a copy of my marriage certificate in conjunction with an accompanying letter from the divorce court saying they could not provide a certified copy, as the original had still not arrived from St Lucia. I also had to fill in a D157.
Back to waiting for about 45 minutes then called for the interview took about 4 minutes and APPROVED

If you can find your way to grosvenor square, its not hard to spot the american embassy - its the big ugly squat concrete building that broods over the end of the square.
I was nervous as hell when I turned up, however it really is nothing to worry about!
Don't bring anything electronic, and take as little metal stuff as possible. I just had my watch, belt, keys and some coins, and was given a clear plastic bag to put them in when I went through the security check. The guy in front of me told me he had had a pocket knife with him, so had had to take it to the pharmacy up the road, where you can leave stuff like that. Presumably they'll take any other weaponry, sharp pointy things, or WMD's you might happen to have on your person...
It took half and hour of queueing to get to the security check, which consisted of an airport style scanner for my stuff, and one of those metal detector arch thingies for me. Of course I had to take my belt off ... read complete review
