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!

My appointment was arranged for 10am so I arrived at about 9.15am. The two 'meeters and greeters' checked my name on the list and directed me to a line which was about 20 people long. Although there appeared to be some sort of order to who was going through the security room, there were the odd 'moaners' that were pushed through quickly. It took about 35 minutes of standing and waiting for my turn in what was a nice and sunny day. I'm just glad my interview was on the 19th and not the 20th as the 20th was WET and I'm not sure I would have wanted to stand in the rain waiting to get in for my interview. Once at the security I was relieved of my two electronic devices, key fob and mobile, and my bag was scanned while I walked through the metal detector. Once I had picked up my bag and numbered tag for my phone/keys I was directed around to the far side of the building.
The signs are very clear as to where you must go and I quickly found myself at the reception desk of th... read complete review
