My fiance's experience with the London Embassy was painless. We believe the key is to have all your 'ducks' in a row with the intitial paperwork (the I-129F). If you've submitted everything there, they oftentimes don't even ask for the truckload of documentation we've all taken with us to the Embassy. They tell you to bring originals of everything that was in your I-129F packet. We did and everyone does and you should. One never knows when they might ask for it but from ALL the interviews I've read unless there were special circumstances, they didn't even ask for it. They asked Steve for his Passport, 2 US size passport photos, VISA bank payment receipt, his sealed medical results envelope (NO XRay needed), his police certificate, his marriage and divorce certificates, the Affidavit of Support from me and just gave a cursory look at all the backup documentation I provided for that, .. didn't need ANY of our 'proof of relationship' or any of the original marriage divorce stuff I sent .... read complete review

very easy embassy to interview (K1) with if your case is relatively straightforward and you have all the required documentation. they did not ask for supporting financial information nor did they request any proof of an ongoing relationship.
the wait is not long and you can actually arrive up to an hour in advance of your scheduled appt time!!

OK here we go .. with my London Interview experience.
I travelled down the day before and stayed at a hotel just yards from the US Embassy; this meant that I only had to roll out of bed at 10am for the 11.30 appointment. A quick trip down one of the other side streets near to the Embassy brought me to Goulds Pharmacy and a chance to get the real US Visa style photographs. Not cheap at £7.50 for 4 but the real deal never the less.
So to the big day and after the exhausting 50 yard walk I came to the Embassy, a look up and down for the “ZZ Top” man with the clipboard alas he was nowhere to be found, just a young girl with mirror shades who was hopeless and thats being kind . People often ignored her and strode straight up to the guy checking names off a list and this caused not only delay but a fair amount of discontent in those actually queuing. Eventually I made it to the guy checking names …. He was as useless as the girl, and so slow that I thought we ma... read complete review

Cannot comment on the actual staff at the Embassy as Im still waiting for my interview, but so far numerous phone calls and emails all seem to be met with the same response... "Nothing Yet". I called this morning and at first was told they couldnt give me any information on the phone. When I explained again that all I wanted was confirmation they had recieved my file from NVC (Which was sent 27th July 2005), I got the reply "Oh sorry is it a visa your waiting for?" I explained again that I filed for a CR-1 and everything was finalised and sent from NVC on 27th July they then told me "Well I cant see anything on screen but its probably in the building"
I hope they really are as friendly and efficient on the day of the interview but so far in my personal experience, if you need to contact them via email or phone dont expect an immediate reply (I sent an email 14 days ago and still havent had a reply only the generated FAQ they send telling you to wait 24-48 hours for a reply), and... read complete review
