Embassy Appointment June 6th 9am
Sorry it's a bit long but I wanted to be as detailed as possible to quell any nerves of those who still have their interview to do.
7:45 arrived and asked an embassy employee standing out which was the queue to join. It was the long one to the right as you stand looking at the embassy.
2 policemen were standing nearby so asked if they thought I had time to grab a coffee. I was told the queue moved pretty quickly so I’d even have time for a cake as well. javascript:emoticon(' ')
Went to the coffee shop opposite the embassy and returned to join the queue at 8:15. Again I checked with an embassy employee who was walking along the queue if I was in the right one. There were 2 queue running alongside each other; one by the wall and the longer one alongside that. The correct one was the one furthest from the wall.
Got to the desk outside the embassy by 8:45 and asked for my DS-160 Con... read complete review

IR-1/CR-1 Spousal Visa interview at the US Embassy, London on 24 May 2023 at 10am
Summary:
- I was in and out in under 40 minutes. Went in 30 minutes before my 10am interview, left around 1010am.
- All people I encountered were warm, friendly, and relaxed.
- Questions were conversational and not difficult.
- If your experience is anything like mine, and you bring all documents listed on the US State Department pre-interview checklist for the US Embassy, London there is no need to be nervous.
- Consisted of two parts: checking of documentation with one person first; interview with other person second.
Logistics:
- Stored my small backpack containing laptop at the nearby District Cafe; cost £14 including a free coffee.
- Very long queue outside the Embassy but as mentioned elsewhere, go straight to the desk at the front of the queue and speak to the people there.
- I spoke to the people managing the ... read complete review

My interview at the US Embassy, London was on 16th March 2023 at 9am. Overall, it was a good experience.
I travelled into London the day before and stayed at the Vauxhall Travelodge, only a 15 min walk from the Embassy. The 15th and 16th of March were rail and tube strike days, but this did not impact my interview in any way. There is no dress code - I wore a black jumper, black jeans and black ankle boots. I had my handbag (big enough to fit an A4 notepad) and coat with me. I was allowed to take everything in with me.
I arrived at the South Pavilion entrance to the Embassy at approx 8:30am, and there were already large queues of people. Thanks to reading people's experiences here, I located a member of staff and informed her I was here for a green card interview. She said I did not need to queue, and directed me to go to the man at the desk at the front of the queue. This felt very wrong as I felt like I was queue jumping. I got to him and told him I was ... read complete review

I had my k1 visa interview today april 21 2023 at the US embassy in London. I can honesty say it was such an easy, pleasant and straightforward process. the staff where very helpful giving you clear instructions and so friendly all the way through. I was in and out in an hour.
As soon as you get the the embassy have your passport and DS160 in your hand it just helps to speed up the line at the first desk before you go in to the airport style security and enter the actual building. Once through security you check in at the reception desk again with you passport and DS160 and name. My name wasn't on the list but it wasn't a problem. They stick a sticker on your DS160 with your ticket number on it. For k1 visa's you take the lift to the first floor once you exit the lift turn left and then left again to a separate waiting room for k1 visas applicants. When your number is called on one of the screens just go to the window it tells you to go to and the friendly staff will ask you for... read complete review

My appointment was at 8:30am and as this was the culmination of a long visa journey I made sure to get there early. At 7:30am I was outside and there was no queue so I went off to find a coffee, took me quite a walk to find one but turns out there is a cafe in the opposite direction, whoops.
I get back at 8:15am and wow there is a queue almost around the block. I understand from reviews here that as you have an appointment you are entitled to jump the queue (painful to any Englishmen) so went to someone who worked there who did not get it and said I need to go back of the line. This is something I've read a few times here and yes it still happens. I wasn't out of politeness miss my appointment so asked someone else and got moved to the front, my tip is to stand slightly to the side of the desk and catch their eye.
You get herded in groups of 5 to the security desk and its just like an airport. Shoes and belts off and to be honest the security staff (G4S co... read complete review
