my interview was at 1:15, I arrived at 12:45 and was told to come back at 1 so I grabbed a quick lunch in the chipshop across the road. The embassy is just a quick walk from landsdown dart station so it is very easy to get to.
Upon entering the embassy I went through the airport like security, the guard took all my electronic items, put them in a locker and gave me the key to put around my neck. I then went into a waiting area where I was given a number and told to wait. I got talking to a nice lady in the waiting area who said she was told to bring an a4 envelope.I informed her this was wrong so she had to run to the post office around the corner to get the correct size envelope you will also need 12 euro worth of stamps.
I was then called up to have my documents checked. the nvc said that my wife being my sponsor was ok even though she had no tax returns but when I went to the window the guy informed me that I would need a co sponsor. this might be something people... read complete review

Make sure you have all your documents:
Passport
DS-156 x2 with 2x pictures (50mm by 50mm)
DS-156K (I almost got pulled up on this but thankfully found it in my packets!)
Birth Certificate
Police Clearance Certificate
I-134 Affidavit of Support
Evidence of relationship (pictures, flight details etc)
$350 - They seem to accept cash in dollars/euros and credit card even though they explicitly ask for bank draft on the document.
Self Addressed Envelope (12"x14") with 8e stamps on it
Keys, Phone, Tech stuff etc will be put into a locker on your way in.
I got in at 1pm. First guy took my documents at 1.30ish?? Then I had an interview asking about my relationship at 3pm.
People are nice. Just make sure to absolutely have everything. That's all they care about - fulfilling their requirements. You will not explain your way to a visa.

I arrived at the embassy at 12:45 but wasn't allowed in till 1. I was first in line so I did the airport like security, they scan your belongings and take any electronics from you to store in a locker, this includes USB's.
I went into the main building and was greeted by another officer who gave me my number and told me to take a seat. I was called a few minutes later and asked for the visa fee, I didn't bother getting a postal order or bank draft as cash is easier ( A woman had brought a postal order for 263 euro and they couldn't accept it because it wasn't in dollars so do yourself a favour and bring cash  ) I was then told to sit back down and a few minutes later I was called up to another window where a woman collected all my paperwork, as long as you have everything and it's all in order it's a very quick process! after giving her everything, she told me to take a seat and a CO would call me up shortly.
After waiting about 40 minute... read complete review

I was let in at 12.55 and went through the airport-style security, they wanted to see my passport. I was then directed towards the Embassy itself. I was given a number upon entering and waited for my number to be called. The first person I spoke to collected the following from me:
* DS-156(x2) + photos stapled in placed
* DS-156K
* DS-230 (part 1) for some reason but I also had part II stapled with it. She might have meant part II. I brought a duplicate of part I just in case.
* Medical report
* Big self-addressed envelope with €8 postage
* Police certificate of character
* My passport
* Affidavit of support + some of my evidence (they only wanted the original copy)
* Birth cert long form (or a certified copy)
They did not ask me for, but might ask you for: evidence of the relationship; an extra passport photo (on top of the 2 affixed to the 2 DS-156). I was then sent to the nearby cashier to pay th... read complete review

Arrive for 1pm appointment about 5 minutes early and we were about 5th in line to enter. Not everyone was there for a visa, some were there for reporting a birth, etc.
Got in and the security guard gave us our number, seems everyone ahead of us was waiting for a non-immigrant visa. Since we were there for an immigrant visa, we were called right away. First stop was the cashier to pay our $404. As soon as we were done paying, the woman in the next window was ready for us. She took all of our forms. The police report, photos, birth cert, everything that packet 4 tells you to bring. She looked to make sure it was all there and in order. Everything was great until she asked for the I-864, as they would not take into consideration our assets, only cash. We kind of expected this anyway. She told us to take a seat and the Consular would call us up. There was one man ahead of us who took about 45 minutes. Has he not taken so long, we would have been out of there in about 30 min... read complete review
