I was actually running late for my interview - phoned the embassy and while the lady I spoke to said she couldn't contact the immigrant visa unit, there was time allotted for lateness.
Interview was at 10. Arrived at 10:15, went through airport style security. Went to check in and was asked for ds260 page and passport both times. Was instructed to go up the lift to the first floor and hang a left. Lady at the top after I got out directed me to the IV waiting area.
Waited maybe 10 minutes before being called to a booth. Went through civil documents and fingerprints. All staff encountered thus far were super chill and friendly, process was simple and straightforward, even made a bit of small talk with the first CO about my beard lol.
Sat down again and waited maybe 15 minutes before my number came up again, this time for the 'interview' bit. Was asked a few questions; where would I be staying, where I got married, and for a little more info ... read complete review

I received interview notification on Friday 13th November 2020 at 7 am. At 09:30 am I was calling up visa medicals to book the next available appointment as the interview itself was scheduled for 1st December and I with work schedules I wanted to be organised. I would recommend preparing your medical documents and patient summary record from the GP in advance so when your interview slot is announced, you can get booked in as soon as possible.
On the night before the interview I checked into the Travel Lodge Vauxhall which is approximately ten minutes walk from the hotel. The hotel is also conveniently located 1 minute walk from the tube station. I was worried that it would only take one road traffic collision on the motorway and I'd be done for, so I paid £45 for the night which seemed fair. The room is basic and simple but beautiful for the peace of mind it gave!
On the interview day my appointment was set for 10:30. I arrived at around 10:10 and atten... read complete review

Initially walked to the side door of the consulate where a Met police officer very kindly recommended a coffee shop to sit and wait as I was 45 minutes early for my appointment.
He suggested I walk to the main door and speak to the security guards there to check if they would admit me early - which they did, amazingly!
Went through airport style security, a lovely lady did my screening and asked me to sip my water and show her my hand sanitiser in my bag then off I went through (the heaviest doors ever) up to the main building. That process was literally 5 minutes long.
Walk up the the first desk where your confirmation page is reviewed and you are given stickers with your ticket number. Upstairs in the lift to the first floor, another desk where the receptionist there asks you to walk around the corner and take a seat until your number is called up on screen. Not a long wait for this to happen as there were only a few people in the waiting room.... read complete review

I arrived to the embassy 25min prior my appointment.
The security guys outside was really nice, and chatty - makes you feel more relax and forget about stress. The lady came out to me and checked my confirmation page and passport, and after couple minutes I was invited inside to go through airpot style security check. Went all smooth. From there I went to the reception - I was asked for confirmation page again, got some stickers with info a number and was told to take a lift to first floor.
When I got to first floor, other nice administration people asked me which visa interview II was attending, and was directed to go left and left. I took a sit in the waiting area and was waiting for my number to pop in on the screen. There was only about 4 people in there at the time.
After about 5 minutes I was called to one of the windows. That's where my fingerprints was taken. I was asked for originals/certified copies of all my civil documents - brith certificate, ... read complete review

After arriving at the embassy we left phones with security, and headed upstairs to wait for our turn. There were instructions on how to sort your paperwork so I completed this while waiting. We waiting around a half hour to se the officer, who seemed to be in a bad mood, she proceeded to ask for the paperwork all in different order than was indicated making me flustered, my daughter was with me and was 17 at the time so she was helpful. The officer would not accept the certified copy of my fiancé’s divorce decree because she said the stamp wasn’t embossed, duh.. it’s a certified copy of the original, and also would not accept a faxed copy of my police records check, which I had sent the day before because of a mix up with the records check I didn’t receive it in the mail on time for my interview. We then went to sit down and wait for the actual interview, we waited another 40 mins or so and then got to speak to a very friendly officer who asked a few bas... read complete review
