Well after waking up with nerves constantly, throughout the night in my hotel room across the road from the embassy,I went across at around 8:45 perhaps 8;50 to line up for my 9:30 am interview. After i got throught the two security checks,and got my 5000 number (5017)from the lady at the counter in the lobby, and got up stairs to sit down it must have been ten past nine maybe, it took a few minutes to get through the que, not much time at all. when it was finally my turn to see the first guy (english and very nice and gentle mannor) it was about half ten i think. he got me to sign a couple of things and sent me to counter 12 to pay ( £88.60 gbp)and come again, after which he gave me back my x ray and told me what to do with it, took Vitos 2007 tax returns and employer letter only, birthcertificate plus copy, and police certificate plus copy. my finger prints and photos.  once he had everything he gave me the sms courier sheet with the number and... read complete review

Total time Nath spent waiting/interviewing was about 2 hours. People taking documents or interviewing were polite. Nothing terrible or fantastic.

Arrived in ample time for a 9am interview. Had to waste some extra time before they would let me join the queue - there's a Starbucks 100yds from the Embassy gate, heading back towards Oxford St if you find yourself in a similar situation  .
I turned up in a shirt and tie which I thought was probably important beforehand. Very few others were smartly dressed but then most were there for tourist visas. If I were to do it again, I'd still wear a shirt and tie, impressions do count, officially or otherwise .
There was some hassle at the first window because the Embassy scheduled my interview at very short notice and before we'd sent the final packet back indicating we were ready  and I didn't have an Affidavit of Support with me. That said, the man left it for the IO to deal with, sent me to pay (possible in USD or GBP - I paid in USD which seemed to surprise the woman) and sit back down. The wa... read complete review

Got there nice and eary 15 or so mins before our 8.30 appointment, waited in a little line (not as big as most days for once, we'd been in london for a week or so before figuring out where to go so not to be in a mad panic on the day) were put 2nd in the line for K1 visas Woot! waited about 30 mins and got called up, handed over our documents, got most handed back to us with a nice smile, got my chest X-ray back along with the medical exam notes and a chunky file sealed. peeked at the forms and saw a nice red rubber stamp saying approved!!!
Had a nice chat with the guy at the window as he looked over our docs, unfortunately we had a problem with our police check...
So our Visa was Approved but suspended, the original police check we had sent had been replaced by a newer version unbeknown to us (we had been having trouble with the london embassy and their office black holw.. sent in multiple Packet 3's to no avail. my Fiance got his congresswoman to inquire... read complete review

Okay here's my lengthy (really lengthy!) review...
We showed up at 8:20-ish for our 9:00 interview, and had no problems in line--in fact, they were letting people with 9:30 interview times wait. My confirmation email seemed fine (good thing, especially since we STILL haven't received the official letter!) and we got through no problem. We went through the security area and discovered that I had forgotten to take my American cell phone out of my bag, which was super annoying (we had left the UK mobiles and other electronics across the street at our hotel). Spurs went in while I ran the phone back, and they were great about letting me back in.
Unfortunately, since we didn't have the official letter, the guy giving out numbers at the front gave us a 2000-level number (for E-visas) instead of a 5000-level (for immigrants). We didn't think twice about it until 2 hours later when we finally got called up to one of the small number windows (as others have said on... read complete review
