This is all secondhand information from my fiance!

He had his interview this week at the consulate in London. His was an early morning appointment so he did arrive the night before and stayed at the Vauxhill Travel Lodge. He did get the late checkout so that he would have a place to keep his things during the interview, and in case things went over. He would have been back in plenty of time for normal checkout, but he felt better not having to rush.

He had all of his information organized in an easy-to-navigate folio, and we used everyone's reviews to determine the order. This is how we laid out his binder:
- Interview appointment confirmation screen (had courier info and visa paid receipt)
- DS160 Confirmation page
- Current passport
- Birth Certificate - long form
- Police Certificate (UK ACRO)
- Divorce decrees for both (US divorce decree was certified and file stamped)
- 2 color US passport photo of ... read complete review

Hi all,

I had my visa interview earlier today and I am happy to say that I was approved. I thought I would leave a review in regards to my experience and that it might help answer any questions that some people have.

I got up at 06:00 this morning after stopping the night at my cousins and decided to get an Uber to the Embassy as although I could have taken the train to Battersea Park Station and then walk to the Embassy I felt getting a Uber was the better option from where I was staying in London as it was quicker, direct and didn't run the risk of any public transport delays. It took about 30 minutes to get to the Embassy and I arrived at 07:05. There were a lot of people queuing up already.

As I was too early for my 08:30 appointment, I went across the road to one of coffee shops - District Coffee - as I had read online that they stored bags. They were open from 07:30 but there were 2 employees who were outside around 07:15 and I asked o... read complete review

Hello all, wanted to share my case and hopefully help someone who wants their questions asked.

I'm excited to share that my visa was approved this morning! Here’s my experience:

I drove to the Sainsbury car park, which is about a 10-minute walk from the US Embassy—perfect if you plan to drive and need parking. I arrived at 08:15 and waited in the car until 08:30 before heading to the embassy.

Upon arrival, I reached a small reception area outside the building where I was asked to present my passport and DS-160 form.
The staff there noted a number and signed my DS-160, then returned both documents to me.
Since I was early for my 09:30 appointment, I was instructed to wait on one of the benches outside until 09:00.

At 09:00, I returned and was kindly allowed inside, where I encountered the security area. The process was similar to airport security: they checked my passport, DS-160,... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

Although the area the Embassy is in is very nice, the area by Vauxhall station which most people will travel through is very much not a great place to be. I stayed at the Travelodge London Vauxhall as most here did, and it's the standard Travelodge experience, nothing special but perfectly fine for an overnight stay. I paid the extra few quid for late checkout which was worth it for me to freshen up after before heading home.

My appointment time was at 9.30am, so I arrived around 9am which most people here recommended. The queue for visas wasn't too long, so I didn't skip as I read a lot of people here do. (For what it's worth, I wasn't told at any stage to skip any queues, I might have tried it if the lines were busy but I never queued for more than 5 minutes at any point.). At the first queue outside, my passport and DS-260 was checked and sent onwards into the security queue.

G4S who operate the security were unpleasant to deal with and left a sour tas... read complete review
