As reported by my fiance:
Got in line (queue) 30 minutes prior to 10am appt. Wonderful security personnel making jokes and generally helping to ease the tension of all of the people waiting to get thrugh security. Slight problem with security...seemed the musical card I'd sent could be "seen" on the x-ray machine. Had to leave it with her cell phone. Darn..and it was so cute too! It sand "Wild Thing". LOL
Got directions from a smiling lady at reception area. Was one of only 2 "immigrant" visas waiting for appts. Called to first window, turned over police report, financial docs, etc. told to go pay $100 visa fee. Chuckled about the dollar to pound exchange rate, since this was the least expensive part of the whole process! Gave pay slip back to nice lady at initial window she was seen at. Told to have a seat.
Called for interview in less than 30 minutes. Thanks to previous posters in this section, my fiance wore a watch, so she would know how much tim... read complete review

K1 Interview as told by my fiancé:
His interview was for 8:00am on April 17, 2007 and he arrived at 7:30. As he waited in the queue and there were six individuals ahead of him. At 7:50am a young lady came around and requested passport identification and interview letters from everyone waiting to enter the Embassy. Upon entry, my fiancé was required to surrender his cell phone, Ipod, and belt. At that point, he followed the Embassy representative around the building to the Counselor Section. He was given a number, told to have a seat and wait until his number is called. He waited for 15 minutes and he was called to the window to surrender and sign forms DS-230 Pt. 2 and DS156K. The representative also requested his birth certificate, police records, evidence of support, and passport. She made copies of all the information and have him back his documents. From there, he was told to return to his seat. About 20 minutes later, he was called to the window by another consul... read complete review

My interview was on tuesday 10th April at 8am. I arrived at about 7:15am where there were already 2 others waiting. At just before 8 we were asked to show our appointment letter then told we could make our way inside. We had to pass through a little cabin in which we had our bags x-rayed & any electrical items removed (I had to hand over my camera & mobile phone).
I then walked round to the front of the building & walked through the door & saw a man at the desk. He gave me a ticket & told me to wait upstairs until my number was called. I was #1 on the immigrant visa waiting list so the 2 infront of me must have been appyling for non-immigrant visas.
I sat down & waited feeling very nervous & excited. After a few minutes I was called to window 1. I was asked to hand over the various forms one at a time. The lady was very friendly but was speaking incredibly quietly & I could hardly hear a word she was saying & it was making me nervous because I didn't want... read complete review

My husband's interview was on 11 September 2006...the fifth anniversary of 9/11. We stayed at a hotel near the Paddington tube station which is supposed to be a dodgy area of town but we didn't find it to be so. The night before the interview we took a long walk to find a restaurant that wasn't a fast food chain or a Garfunkel's. We found one about a 10-min walk from the hotel called The Queen of Sheba and I'd never had such good or such inexpensive Middle Eastern food. If you're in the area, check it out. The two of us ate until we were ready to explode and left about half our dinner on the plates and it cost less than 20 pounds.
The next morning we called a taxi to take us to the embassy; it was just on the other side of the park from us but never having been there and not knowing London very well, we figured it was best to take a taxi. Our interview was scheduled for 10am but seeing the queue outside the place we knew it would be a while. A woman with a clipboa... read complete review

Interview went off well. All done in two hours. All that worrying for nothing. The hardest part was trying to get through security outside of the consulate. Our interview officer was really nice and asked very little questions outside of my tax returns. My advice to other people is to get a good night's sleep the night before and not be so nervous.
