The embassy was pretty empty, with minimal staff working; I guess they are all working from home still.
There were about another 10 people waiting, one of them was a rearranged from March. I saw a K1 person there, not too sure how she managed to get an interview.
Was a fairly straightforward process, a little waiting involved, but not excessive.
They took all my documents from me and passport. They never asked for DS5540.
Annoyingly, they claimed not to have received my medical report, even though Visa Medicals say it was sent on July 8.
Interview part was brief; how did you meet, where, where is my wife now and if I will have medical insurance. That was about the extent of that.
My passport will be sent to me once they open the mail, I guess.

Great embassy compared to others I've been to. Hardest thing was having to wait between interviews which was around thirty minutes. Questions were simple and they approved my visa there and then.

So this took place in a COVID filled world before the embassy opened up to non-emergency stuff.
There was a bit of confusion for my appointment as it was an expedite and outside of being offered it I had no communication from the embassy to confirm it or anything. So when I arrived, embassy security had to actually call up to the office as my name wasn't on the list! And after leaving my house at 2am to get to London on time I was on edge lol. Fortunately everything worked out, got through security after showing an app working on my phone and walked through and up the elevators in a very empty/echo filled building.
When I got to the counter area there were about 4 or 5 people working in an office section that would usually have 20 or so people and I waited with about 4 other people in this time block to have my name called and give over some of my original documents to be checked. I was asked a couple of questions and handed the paper about my rights in ... read complete review

Some of the 'normal' visa processing has started again for spousal visas amid COVID-19, so I figured I'd write own my experience.
My USC spouse was not allowed inside as he wasn't on the list. (In spite of having requested it multiple times.)
After passing through security, there were no lines anywhere since non-immigrant visas have not begun processing yet. I was told to make my way to the first floor and towards the immigration visa section.
Once I arrived I was asked to provide all my documentation (no DS 5540) along with photocopies of the police certificates and civil documents. Since we were doing the affidavit of support based on assets, I'd brought extra paperwork. They were not interested in all details; just picked one of the assets meeting the minimum and kept only that statement.
I was asked to pay the consular fee. My card declined since it flagged a USD denominated transaction inside the UK as a potential threat. Fortu... read complete review
