My husband had zero problems today in London. He went to get some US passport-sized pictures before the exam, and was in and out of there in 10 minutes. It was only 11 GBP for 4 pics, and the guy knew what he wanted just by seeing the paper in my husband's hand (letter from embassy with photo place addresses) before he said anything! :)

The exam went just as smoothly. He was in basically right on time at 1PM. He said the exam itself was very perfunctory and the x-rays were fine as well. He had proof of MMR, but he had to get and pay for TD, which wasn't a big deal either. I can post more details if I can get him to give more details tonight at home. :)

We'll soon receive the I-864 and information from my dad, who's the joint sponsor, and then we'll be sending in the Ds-230 and DS-2001 (We're doing direct filing in London, bypassing the NVC). So hopefully we'll know the visa interview date this month! :)
