My husband just finished his interview and gave me all the details to share with you!
He went down yesterday from Manchester and stayed at the Travel Lodge down the road. His appointment was at 11:30AM this morning. He grabbed a Starbucks around 9:20AM and walked to the embassy just to make sure he knew where to go. It was easy to find and there were people lined up outside the South Pavilion waiting to go in.
He left the hotel around 10:50AM and arrived at the South Pavilion entrance at 11:00AM. The security people at the entrance confirmed his passport and DS-260 and then we went through airport style security. All really smooth and standard. At reception, the officer just asked for passport, passport photos, interview confirmation, police certificate, birth certificate, and marriage certificate. The officer didn't ask for any copies (but we brought them just in case) and they didn't ask about any financial information in our case as our most recent ta... read complete review

The interview commenced with the raising of my right hand, taking an oath that all information was true and complete.
I was then asked several straightforward questions:
- When did you and your spouse meet?
-- How did you and your spouse meet?
- Where does our spouse live?
-- Why did you (and your spouse) recently move across country? (Texas -> Virginia)
- Do you have the 2019 tax return/filings?
I was particularly confused by the final question, as I was absolutely certain all the documents (3 years of tax returns) had been submitted/accepted. The officer notified me that only the 2018 tax returns were available, and that she wouldn't be able to issue my visa until their submission.
I presented her the hardcopy of 2019, which she accepted, but explained that I would have to upload and digitally submit this document, and contact the designated e-mail address once completed.
I asked how significantly... read complete review

A quick update.
Interview Date: 14th December 2020 @ 11:30am.
A 38 minutes London underground journey from my home to Vauxhall and out via exit 4 which led to a 7 minute walk to the Embassy South Pavillion.
I arrived 30 minutes before my appointment and was welcomed into an airport style check point after my interview letter was checked. I was directed to the main building where my interview letter and DS260 were checked again and sticker with queue number applied. Directed to the1st floor via elevator. Once out the elevator, it was 2 left turns to immigrants visa section.
3 other applicants in seating area, smart/casual dressed. So I didn't feel out of place.
I sat and observed monitors while feeling anxious. My number showed up against window to go to. As I approached window, the greeting of a smile and casual "Hi" from Consular Officer 1 quickly helped me to relax. The process was explained, I was asked for original copies ... read complete review

My husband's appointment went way better than we expected. After all this wait, we made sure to have everything in line: all paperwork with 2 copies, practiced interview questions and he stayed at Travel Lodge which was only a 10 min walk from embassy. He arrived 30 min prior to appointment and they let him in right away. He said everyone was so nice, to the point where he thought it couldn't be real. He went to the first desk where the woman looked over our paperwork, she said everything was good and told him to have a seat. After 5 minutes he was called to the window for the interview. He was only asked 2 questions, they did not keep any copies, the woman was so pleasant. She said "You don't need to worry about anything anymore, I have approved you!" My husband was in and out in less than 30 minutes-when he called to let me know I couldn't believe it! He was the only one there at the time. Can not say enough how grateful we are to have such pleasant people working at the London Embas... read complete review
