Turned up to london via the megabus, which wasnt as bad as i thought, although the driver repeatedly wakened everyone up with announcements of which stop we were at, not too bad for the price though. got to London at around 8am, so had loads of time to get across to the embassy. I wandered around aimlessly looking around the area until my legs got sore and i got bored, which was around 10am and my appointment wasnt until 13:30. anyway i decided to go to the actual embassy and see where it is and how to get in etc, so i could turn up nearer the time, but upon getting there and following the signs i thought id just try and get in, id may as well sit in there than in the park. so I got to the first check point, where there were two freindly looking people waiting (no queue at all!) i showed them my paperwork and they gave me a little bag for my phone etc and was then directed to the metal detector guards, where my phone was taken from me and a ticket given to me for retrieval on the way o... read complete review

I arrived at the Embassy 45 minutes before my appointment time. Showed my letter to the guard and was waved through to join one of four queues, each queue was for people with different appointment times - I joined the "10am" queue.
Lengthy wait ensued - note to people with forthcoming interviews: be prepared for rain. You have to wait outside for AT LEAST an hour and there is no shelter. Luckily it wasn't raining when I was there.
Eventually went through portakabin security checkpoint.
You are not allowed to take mobile phones or ipods etc into the Embassy, or any liquids. You can leave them at the cabin but I just didn't take mine with me.
Enter the Embassy - up some steps and through the door to a desk. Pleasant lady took my letter, looked at it and gave me a ticket - for KI visas the number should start with 5000 - mine was 5017.
Up some shallow stairs to my left and into large waiting area with chairs, scree... read complete review

3 and half, 4 hours all together. Waiting was... well, boring. But it could be so much worse. It's very well organised for the volume of people they have to deal with (of whom most are for non-immigrant visas). The line outside was the longest wait (about 1:45-2hrs... i didn't have a watch so I'm guessing here), but I arrive an hour before my appointment time. Most people around me had the appointment for a half an hour earlier... it makes no difference.
Once in it was about half an hour before being called the first time to submit all the original papers and one copy each. The lady was pleasant, although I could barely hear her thru the glass.
Got sent back into the waiting area, after clearing up a couple of confusing points (tax stuff).... waited another half an hour, got called again, to a different lady. Raised my right arm and swore... not a four letter word this time.
She said, that's it, providing all is in order I should go and ar... read complete review

My review of my K1 visa interview.
My appointment was at 10am, and after reading all the reviews and tips on this website, I decided that I would get there early.
I arrived outside the Embassy at 8:55am where a security card asked to see my appointment letter and then pointed me towards one of the queues. My queue was row D. Everyone in this queue at a 10am appointment. The only other row that had people in was C, and after asking around, they all had 9:30am appointments. Security was then re-checking appointment letters and passports before calling you forward to join the queue for the x-ray machine.
9:35am and my appointment letter was checked, and I was asked to remove my belt and put all valuables and mobile phone into a clear plastic. They put this and my folder through the x-ray machine and I went through the metal detector. My wallets and belt were handed back to me (I didn't have my phone on me, but I’m guessing that isn't allowed in)
I asked the g... read complete review
