TL;DR: Excellent experience at the US embassy in London, very painless. Long waits though.
My appointment was at 0800 on the 16th Dec, however I arrived late due to an accident causing queues on the M40 southbound. I arrived at 8:29. I thought I wasn't going to get in. However as I was queuing to get "checked in" outside the front of the embassy, a lady was walking down the line checking visa interview invitation letters. She saw mine was an "immigrant" one and sent me straight up to get checked in and seen straight away. PHEW
I then went through security (armed guards! eick!) which was much like airport security. Then I walked around the side of the building, went into reception, received an Argos-style ticket number.
Note: Immigrant ticket numbers start Ixxx, non immigrant is Nxxx.
After 1.5 hours of waiting, got called to a booth to hand over documents (birth certificate, 1 picture, police certificate, affidavit of support and passport). Sat back down in the waiting area for another 1.5 hours of waiting, only to be called back up to another booth for a 2 minute interview.
Essentially he asked about fiancée's family, work, parents, has he been to the UK, have I been to the USA.
Approved! Next stop, heathrow airport!
