Well my interview appointment was for 09:00 on Monday morning. I got a train down the night before and stayed in a TraveLodge in Marylebone which was a 10 minute cab ride away from the Embassy.
I woke up at 07:00 and left by 07:50. I got a cab from outside Marylebone station and arrived at the Embassy at around 08:00. I joined the line and got in and got my number at 08:28. i659 was my number. I was first called at about 09:00 to window 13 and he took my fingerprints and gave me my chest X-Ray back, and I provided my birth certificate, Police certificate, financial support and while he looked at that I paid the fee in the next window. I then went back to the guy and he had an inch thick pink file! I made a joke about the pink file and after a short while he said to go back and wait to be called again.
I was called back at about 09:45 and went to window 15. It was an American lady and she was very nice. She took my fingerprints, made me sign a document and then asked me some questions. The first being how we met. She very pleasant and took interest in my story. Then she asked me if I needed my passport in the next 5 days and said that they were going to keep it as I had been approved. I thanked her and then went to the courier line. That was the worst part as I just wanted to tell everyone but had to stay in line and keep quiet. I got out by 10:25 and hailed a cab. Was back in the hotel room by about 10:35.
I got online and called Deanna on Skype who was half asleep but soon woke up. Ha.
So all in all it was a pleasant experience but I am glad that it is over with.
Hope this review helps anyone who is waiting for their interview and good luck if you are. It's not as bad as you think.
