Arrived at the US Embassy at around 9:30am (interview time was 10am and I was instructed to turn up 30 mins beofore hand), and followed the road work like signs directing Citizens and Visa Services. There was a short line of about 10-15 people at the start of the visa entrance. At the front of this line was a woman who worked for SMS (well, she had a reflective yellow vest with SMS on the back of it) who was checking appointment times. She checked my name off against a printed list, and directed me down to another woman wearing the same type of vest.
The second woman told me to place all metal items into a small plastic bag provided. My phone and ipod went into one bag, and everything else (including belt) went into another, because I would get that one back, but the phone/ipod would not be allowed in. Once I had my things bagged, she asked my appointment time, and then directed me into one of 4 or 5 lines divided by chains. I was in row D. I assumed it was done based on... read complete review

Very odd experience - I arrived at 8am (1 hour early) and after going through the completely dehumanising entry with non smiling officials, I then went to wait for my number to be called in the waiting area. My number was really high compared to the ones being called but don't be put off because the different visa types all have a different start number.
Waited about 30 mins for part 1 - showing documents & fingerprinting, then waited for number to be called again.
The actual interview was very quick indeed. Gave birth certificate and police form, he then went through the financial support information.
BE WARNED - They went ONLY on last year's tax return. They weren't interested in all the letters I had from his current employment (in local government) which clearly showed that he fulfilled their requirements. Had I not been selling my house at a profit (luckily I took the letter from my estate agent with me), they would have denied my visa!... read complete review

CONSULAR INTERVIEW
Waited for 30mins outside, but glad it didn't rain. Waited for an hour inside, then went to bank teller style window to give documents and verify some things. About two hours later was asked to the window where I was interviewed by a very officious person. She ended the interview with me swearing that everything I had said was true, and told me as soon as we got certain things in order I would get my visa.

Interview date: 08/Aug/07
Travel to London:
I left home at 7pm on 07/Aug caught the midland mainline service from Sheffield to London St Pancras I got there at around 10pm. I had booked a hotel near the embassy for the night at the Hyde Hotel Paddington (booked by: www.Londonnights.com). The hotel is not very far from the Embassy. The staff were polite and the rooms although small were of a very high standard (better than I have had in some higher ranked hotels). I ordered a car from Plazza cars to collect me at 7:30am from the hotel to take me to the Embassy. The hotel does not have any AC and it was very hot.
Interview day:
The day stated early at 5:45am. Got ready checked over my paper work, all present and correct, I took my other bags and left them with the reception. The rest of the day when something like this: Headed down for breakfast at 6:50am Breakfast finished at 7:10am. Car arrived at 7:15am. Arrived Embassy 7:30am. The entrance ... read complete review
