Alright, so my appointment was at 9:30 am. I stayed in London with my cousin so I get there with ease in the morning. My cousin and I left his house at 8:30 and walked to the embassy. However, as is always the way when walking around london with my cousin, we got lost. So we ended up arriving at the embassy at 9:10 after some very brisk walking. There was an immigration man there and 2 lines. I went up to him and he asked me what time my appointment was and then told me to join the left line, which was shorter. So I did, time past and the right line got shorter and shorter and the line I was in got longer and longer. Then at around 9:40 I heard the people around me talking about how they were glad that they had got there early for their 10/10:30 appointments. By this time an immigration lady was walking up and down the line so I asked her where those who had 9:30 appointments were supposed to go....and she pointed to the right hand line, which was now only a couple of people. so f... read complete review

Well I travelled up the following day to London and stayed at the Travelodge Wembley (booked for £26), next day walked the 1/2 mile to the tube station and took the 20 min journey to Bond street, went to the picture place and then walked the 5 mins to the embassy.
I got there at 9:15 (my interview time was 10), and was let in at 9:40. Walked round and got my number and sat down. After just under 1hr I was called up and asked for all my documention. I had forgot to photocopy my birth cert and my police cert, but the guy moaned at me and then photocopied them for me. He then gave me my x-ray and took my fingerprints, all this took around 20 mins and I then sat down for around 1 hr.
I was then called again and was met by another guy he asked for pics of my son (that I had with my fiancee). He looked at them and then asked about her mum and dad and our Co-Sponser, what my fiance does in america and he then said barring anything getting flagged on the fingerpr... read complete review

I'm afraid that my review will be based on Sian's comments, as I wasn't at the interview.
Sian said that she was helped quite quickly, and that everything went very smoothly. Her interviewer was friendly, for the most part, and asked the typical questions: How did you meet? Have you met his family? When have you visited him? What is your profession? Do you think you will be able to find work there? How will you like living in Indiana do you think? Etc.
Sian says she spent no more than one hour and 45 minutes at the embassy.

Got there at 9 on the dot after an agonising wait for a taxi at Victoria. ZZ Top man and his little mate told me to get in the right hand line. Stood next to a nice South African guy who was a vodka expert and wanting to spread the word to the US!! He didn't have any samples in his bag unfortunately! Got called in at 9:30, followed the vodka man and took a ticket n sat. After about 45 mins I got called up and a nice asian lady asked me for my DS-156!! I said I sent it in, and she said no, they would have sent it back to you, I (in a panic) said nooo they didn't! Then discovered I'd been given a non immigrant visa ticket and not an immigrant one (doh!) Went back and got another number and waited about 20 mins til I was called. Very nice man at booth 14 took my passport, birth certificate, police certificate, pictures and bank details (although he didn't want them all I told him I photocopied them for him, he's having them!) He gave me the courier slip and told me to sit again. After abo... read complete review

 In and out inside of an hour. I had read other peoples reviews of the US embassy in London and they were all positive but I still prepared myself for a long morning. I arrived at 9.30am for my 10am time slot, and the lady directed me to a short queue which took no time at all. I was through security and being given a number in 15 mins. I sat down and was called to the first window after about 7 mins. This was straight forward, the guy asked for my originals, scanned my finger prints, and gave me my chest x-ray back. Great, I thought, I now have to carry this huge envelope around london all day.
That lasted all of 5 minutes and I went and sat back down. I was called 30 minutes later and a different guy gave me back my originals, scanned my finger prints again, made me swear that all the info was correct, and asked me four simple questions. (What first attracted me to my Fiance? Where we met? How did I propose? and When did I last see her?... read complete review
