Lin said everything at the Embassy was very smooth and easy. The interview itself was about 5 minutes with only a few questions about our life together. Waiting was quite long but not too bad. It helped that we have a long marriage and have had a good immigration lawyer, which wasn't cheap but even though we have a solid, straightforward case, gave us peace of mind.
We had parked at Waitrose for an hour free parking so spent 45 minutes strolling around the nearby Power Station shops which was interesting then drove to nearby Clapham Common for more free parking and a nice walk in the park.
