Called Consulate (Monday 7th Jan) after trying to email and getting back "Email deleted without being read" a few times and only two emails/replies back (No iuseful info). I was told I may need to resubmit my check-list?? (Rubbish). I obtained an email code but didn't get time to use it because an email popped up saying I'd been sent a letter of appt for MONDAY 14th! Seven days to book, and have, a physical! I called on the 8th and went to have my physical on the Wed 9th. (I wished my interview could've been later in the week then I could've attended the medical the day before and stayed in London). I was shocked at the short notice and worried that my medical report would not be there in time for my interview and it wasn't. But they said it would be OK and would send my visa once the Consulate had recieved it.
So I learned that it's easy to book a physical (next day) and that I didn't have to rush to have it and run the risk that I may have been refused a visa after paying and... read complete review

First of all, for those of you who are as scared of this interview as I was; don't be. It's nothing. Really.
And now, the review.
Living as I do in the north of England, I was compelled to take an overnight coach to London. This arrived around 6:30 in the morning, giving me two hours before my appointment. I called my fiancee for a while, who helped calm my nerves a lot (as she often does, it's one reason why I love her), then went to get some breakfast. I then bought a day pass on the Underground, and boarded a train for Oxford Circus, then on to Marble Arch. It was really early still, but I wanted to make sure I could find the place easily. It's difficult to miss. It's the really big building with the American flag on the roof. There were a lot of roadworks around, so finding the actual entrance entailed walking halfway around the world first. I eventually found a sign that said 'Visa applicants this way', or something along those lines (I forget what ... read complete review

Pretty smooth and seamless.. only about three questions during the interview.
Friendly and efficient service.

The medical examination took place the same day as the interview. I had to be at the doctor's office at 8am -- it was literally a 5 minute walk away from the US Embassy which was helpful. I fainted (as usual) after the blood test, but the nurse was very kind and she arranged a chair for me outside so I could recover prior to the examination itself. The TB x-ray was fine -- just your bog-standard x-ray, nothing special. However, the examination was possibly one of the most demeaning things that I've ever encountered -- having a strange male doctor performing a thorough, intimate, examination was absolutely vile. Why the hell they don't have a female doctor on staff for the women is beyond me. I am still angry that I was subjected to this.
The "interview" at the US Embassy took about 5 minutes -- they didn't even want to see the affidavit of support (evidently if you're both MIT graduates then you should have no problems supporting yourself, according to the official who w... read complete review

Well, after a couple of visits to the Embassy in previous years for J1 visas, i knew where the place was and what to expect...just about! My interview was at 830am and the lines outside were so small that i only waited outside for about 40 minutes (on both previous occassions i had to wait 2 hours, before i even got inside!). So then got in and took a seat whilst trying not to fall asleep after only 2 hours sleep the night before. Had the pre-interview paper collection then the interview with a nice american guy who was training a new girl i guessed. Got through the standard questions like where did u meet, why america and not UK, and that was that, went to pay the courier and went on my way home!
Absolutley no need to be nervous but, of course, being human nervous is a very natural feeling!
