Hey quick question about what happens now

If you see my sig you'll see that I'm at the interview stage. I had my medical done last week and was informed on Tuesday that they where sent to the embassy , called dos yesterday and was told it had been recieves by the embassy. I had already sent the ds-2001 and ds-230 with the cover Letter requesting an expedited interview based on the reasons for approved expedite at the Nvc and uscis stage In a perfect world how long will it take to recieve an interview appointment ? Realistically how long will it take?

You got an expedited date at the Embassy?? I was told this isnt possible and had to wait a whole month before my interview date. Well that just sucks lol!

Issues : my joint sponsors employment letter was lost by USPS hasent been able to get another from her hr department yet

Could you not get a letter faxed or emailed to you in time or does it have to be an original? That might save risking it in the mail again

My interview is at 9:30 am what time should I get there.

I was told to get there about 30 mins before for my interview, and no longer than an hour before total.

Earliest train mon am arrives as euston at 8:07 am. Will this be ok arriving at embassy about 8:30 - 8:45 am. Or should I go the night before

As said above you should be fine to make the interview!

You'll be fine arriving at that time, you just won't be at the front of the queue :-)

Sounds like you have plenty of evidence of the joint sponsor's income anyway, so you shouldn't need the employment letter. But if they do ask for extra evidence you can always supply it after the interview: it will delay visa issuance but wouldn't be a denial :-)
