K1 APPROVED!
Oh my goodness, after almost 8 months it was my consular interview day yesterday, 16th April. You read so many forums, stories and experiences it really is hard to envisage what you will encounter once you are at the embassy. This is my experience!
Arrived at the U.S Embassy in London at 10.00a.m for my 10.30a.m appointment, there was already two queues of people awaiting to have their documents checked at the check point outside. I was asked for my DS-160 confirmation page and passport. They checked against their list and wrote 10:30 on the document.
Next you must go through security clearance. This is similar to airport security, so all bags etc must be x-ray'd, belts off, liquids out and so forth. You can take bottled drinks in plastic bottles only, no glass is permitted into the embassy building. Have a sealed bottle, otherwise they just ask you to take a sip at the security line.
I took a small back-pack w... read complete review

Have been nervous all week, gosh it goes so quickly for such a massive moment!
We walked up to the embassy, a lot of the local area is under works at the moment but the walkways are at least open. I walked down Nine Elms with my mother who had come along to help me keep things together.
All staff were nice and incredibly polite. I asked a guy monitoring the entry for the embassy where to go and he let me know I was in the right place. Police gave tips on where my mother can go to wait while interview was ongoing. She was allowed to come with me up to the Visa Interview entry building. I didn't know she could come along if she had ID, but sadly she didn't bring any - so on the officer's advice she went to the Waitrose.
You go through security check like at an airport, and then take a short outside walk to the main embassy building (it kind of looks like a massive square made up of stars)
Small note which might be of use to s... read complete review

Although everything I had read on here had told me that the interview was pretty easy and it was quite informal and laid back I was still nervous. Made my way to Vauxhall tube station and walked along to the embassy. I arrived at the security line just before 11 am for my 11:30 am appointment, although I would like to have turned up earlier I had read that they had asked you to not turn up any more than 30 minutes before. By the time I had gotten to the front of the line, it was probably about 11:20 or so. There was a woman at the front of the line asking to see your Instruction page, your DS-160, and your passport - possibly a letter from the embassy too, I can't quite remember. She checked all the documents I had handed her and told me;
"After going through security your going to come to two lines, just go past both the lines straight to the front because you're here for an immigrant visa, they'll give you a number there and send you on your way up"
