My Fiancee`'s experience:
With excitement and I guess a little paranoia of oversleeping I got up with the sun on the day of my interview. Did some double checking of paper work on my own and then involved my house mate in calling out required documents whilst I presented them and securely placed them in a document folder. I left home just after 7am, caught the train to London Waterloo and then took the Jubilee line to Bond street station. At the tube station I took the exit by cranberry and went up the stairs. Once you leave turn left out of the station and it is the 7th road to your left that takes you to Grosvenor square. I was a little early so I grabbed a soya latte from Starbucks. I arrived at the embassy at 8:20; my interview was scheduled for 8:30. I was greeted by a really big ‘bouncer’ looking guy that asked to see my passport and visa interview letter. I displayed both to him and was palmed off to another official that checked for electronic devices, asked... read complete review

My appointment was booked for 9pm but on the advise on this forum I arrived at 8:15. The letter said not to be any earlier than 30 minutes before your appointment but that didn't seem to bother them.
After going through the security checks, handing over my mobile and bag going through the X-Ray I was sent round the back of the building. I was given a ticket at reception with a number on and told to go into the main room and to wait for my number to be called, I was ticket 5004 so 5th in the queue. It is most definitely worth getting in as early as possible because an hour and a half later they were up to ticket number 5021.
After about 40 minutes (during which I looked around the room to spot the celebrity, I am afraid to say the best I could do was McFly and ashamed to say that I did in fact recognize them) my ticket number was called.
I was lucky enough to get a nice chap who made you feel at ease rather than the grumpy woman I keep rea... read complete review

 My husband went in for the interview, he told me that they were right on time. It was much easier than he and I thought it would be. It was such a relief to know that it was passed.

Got to the embassy at 7:30 for an 8:00 appointment. We went through security and settled in for our wait. We were the second immigrant visa appointment, and G. was called to the window at 8:30 to go through documents and get fingerprinted. Cooled our heels until 9:45 when it was interview time! A young man was the interviewer, and said he was new on the job, and cried every time he looked at his desk because of all the paperwork. The interview itself took about three minutes. G. explained that we were traveling to Amsterdam on Monday, so the interviewer said that he'd approve the visa, give G. back his passport so he could travel, and that G. could arrange for SMS to collect his passport, take it to the Embassy, and SMS would return it a week later.

Once arrived at the embassy we had to wait a few hours before it was our turn. The interview itself did not take long at all. We encountered a bit of a snag when they told us that my husband could no longer sponsor me because he was changing employers upon his return to the US. My brother-in-law agreed to sponsor me and I had to mail in a new form stating this. I did not have to go back to the embassy for another interview and received my visa shortly after!
