Just got back from London where my interview was APPROVED this morning!

Thought I'd go through my experience to help others.

Went down to London from Manchester during the night on a long coach ride so was very tired before my interview! Maybe not the best way, but had no other choice.

My interview was at 9am so joined the loooong queue at 8.30am. Got it into my head I wouldn't be making my 9am appointment!

I had a folder full of forms, evidence, I-134's, photos etc. dressed smartly in black pants, smart top and heels...although the majority there were dressed pretty casual!

Eventually, I got through to the embassy. Wasn't sure of the time because I had no phone, but pretty sure I was waiting around an hour!

NOTE: Take reading material! The wait is long and boring!!

After about another hour and a half, my number was called...finally! I went up to my first window.

The man there was very welcoming, took my fingerprints, took my birth certificate, police certificate, I-134's and photos...asked some general questions (have i ever been denied entry to the us, do i have a criminal record). I then went and sat down and waited another 20 minutes until I was called to my interview...if you can call it that!

It was very relaxed. The woman asked me how I was doing, again took my fingerprints and then asked me a couple questions (where did you meet, when did you first discuss marriage, have you met his family and does he have any siblings)... and that was that! She told me with a big smile on her face that I had been approved!!!

Don't know what I was so nervous about now!

Good luck to everyone going through this!!!

I just noticed you had your medical today too :)

I had mine too, thought I'd be there longer but I was lucky and wasn't there long :)

My fiancé was the one with the medical (I'm just the one active on VJ!)

He got a bit over ambitious and was there before they even opened!

It's so nice to have one more step behind us! Good luck with the last bit of your process!

Good luck with the journey :)
