Ok from the top. My interview was July 11th at 9 am and I traveled down with my cousin the night before so we could spend some time together. We stayed in a hotel in Wembley and co-workers had told me that it would take 35-40 minutes to get from Wembley Park to Bond Street. So I was up at 6 and we were out of the room by 6.50, parked and on the tube by 7 expecting a bit of a journey into London. Imagine my surprise when it only took 15 minutes and we were standing in Grosvenor Square staring up at the eagle by 7.30. We found a coffee shop and set up camp, it made me nervous seeing people running down the road to the pharmacy to get photos or leave their phones/car keys/usb ... they all looked so super stressed out. We went and got in the queue at 8.30 and finally got to a check point where a security guard looked at my letter and sent me to the 9oclock line. In front of me were two lovely people who were both also going in for 9 o clock K1 visa interviews so we all sort of stuck togeth... read complete review

Had my CR1 interview on July 2. I started this entire process almost a year ago and all this buildup for the shortest interview ever in my life. I waited 50 minutes outside for interview (don't bring keys with you as they make you store them across the street). Finally got inside and waited only 15 minutes for interview. Was asked 3 questions:
- when did you meet your wife?
- how many times have you been to visit her?
- how many times has she been to visit you?
And that was it. She stamped my approved and said visa will arrive in 3 to 5 days. But to my surprise, it arrived this morning, just one day after my interview. Glad this process is over.

Was down in London last week for the visa interview. Stayed in Marble Arch at the hotel recommended. As was sisad before clean and compact with good location fro embassy.
Was in the que at US embassy for 9am with my interview at 10am. They don't allow cell phones inside now so you are forced to depoit it at a chemist just down the st and have to pay £10 for the priviledge! Never got inside until after 10 and the sat in the room for about an hr waiting to be called to a window to produce all my paperwork.
After the paperwork and some questions from a British guy had to then pay for my visa (£64) and go sit down again to be called up again after about 90 mins to go to another window. Was then interviewed by a rather stern American woman who asked me a few questions about Sonya - how we met, when did I see her etc etc and then after about 10 other questions said she was happy enough to grant my visa subject to a medical and my finger prints being OK.

Barry arrived early for his 8:30 interview. Very few in line so he went to Starbucks for coffee. He returned to the line and proceeded quickly through security. He left all electronics at his Mum's, even keys. After his entry he was informed that his interview was supposed to be rescheduled for July 10th, but after a quick check since he didn't receive a call, all was well and he sat down. He said there were only about 8 for immigrant visas, so he was called quickly. They only asked for police certificate, birth certificate, passport photos, and I-134. They asked for letter from my employer and pay stubs, which they returned...that's it...no other documents or evidence requested. He was fingerprinted and paid for visa and courier.
He was quickly called to interview and was asked...how did we meet? He said poetry site. Was asked...who his favorite poet is. Then he was asked if he has been to US...he replied yes several times....has your fiancee been to England? Yes she j... read complete review

Arrived in London at 6am in the morning - travelling nearly 150 miles that morning for the London interview.  And yes, I was dead tired but excited with a tinge of fear. Hahaha. This is what happened:
1. Decided to head for the US Embassey, although I was a couple hrs early. Thought I might be ahead of he queue - er...WRONG. The queue or should I say, queues were a 'million miles' long. Seems other people had the same idea.
2. After 40 or 60 minutes, the security checks starts: I had to remove fobs, mobile phones, belts and other electronic devises and place them in a plastic bags. Then told to move along to the next stage of security.
3. Next stage of security was a bag check and body check - guards go through your bags and ask you walk through an airport type 'x-ray' contraption. 
4. Passed the security check so directed to the embassy. 
5. Queued u... read complete review
