Today I had my interview at the Embassy in London!
Appointment was scheduled for 8:30am, I flew down the night before into London City airport and stayed in the Travelodge in Vauxhall, which is about a ten min walk to the embassy.
I left the hotel around 7:45am and arrived at the embassy just before 8am, and followed the building round to where the visa section was.
A lot of people already waiting and queuing up. Got up and asked for my passport and my appointment confirmation page, then directed towards security.
They asked me to open my phone and open any app to prove it was a working phone, then quickly through an airport type security areas.
(Ps the doors are freaking heavy!)
Up to reception where I was told by the first person just skip and go through the US citizen line which I did and was warmly welcomed but told to stand to the side for 4 min as my ticket wasn’t ready. (The lady actua... read complete review

After such a long a stressful process, the interview went really well. It was really straightforward.
My interview was scheduled for Friday 25th March at 08:30am. I travelled to London on the train the day before and stayed overnight at the Park Plaza hotel in Vauxhall. A twenty min walk or 5 min Uber. Absolutely gorgeous hotel with great breakfast!
I set off extra early at 07:45am and took an Uber, I arrived five mins later. I was told I could not go into the building until 08:10am (the lady checking passports and DS260s was lovely, and very friendly about this). She simply told me to come back at 08:10 and come straight back to her and she would let me in.
When 08:10 came I did just that and was asked at the door to open my phone and an app as other posters have explained. When I entered I then went through airport-style security and had to take a sip of my bottled water before entering.
I was told to skip the queue and walk straight up to the reception d... read complete review

Just had my interview today (25/3/22).
It went just as the other reviews had made out. Essentially it was a breeze.
I lined up thirty minutes before time slot and the lady asked me to come back in ten minutes. But then as the line was building up she called me back and said it will be time once I get through anyway.
Security very standard. For anyone who was confused about the no ‘big bag’ rule. I had a standard backpack and that is deemed fine.
Now the reception bit, everyone tells you to not line up and skip everybody. As a british person I found that hard because it’s not obviously sign posted for you so the idea of cutting in line is not in my nature. I eventually went down the US citizen line because it was clear. The woman super nice guided me. First floor left then left.
Upstairs again super easy my number was already at the desk when I arrived so straight to another lady. She copied all civil documents, passport, photos ... read complete review

Hi All,
I was very grateful to @ohiohopeful for his incredibly helpful account of his experience at his Visa Interview (below). Now that I've completed my Visa Interview, I wanted to share my own experience to hopefully provide anyone else who is in the situation I was prior to doing it (nervous, confused, etc).

My Interview took place on 23 March 2022 at 11.30am at the US Embassy in London. I arrived around 10.45am and planned to scope the place out so I knew where to go when the time came. It was very quiet, not many people about. Note - there are 2 entrances to the Embassy. For Visa services you need to use the South Pavilion (not the one opposite the 'Embassy One' building. Keep going round, and you'll find it.
I was beaconed over to a booth, where a guy ... read complete review

Everything was pretty smooth, they did let me in slightly early, there's one bathroom in the courtyard after security, that's the only one I saw so use it before going through the second building.
My interviewer did grill me a bit because me and my fiancé didn't get legally divorced from our exes until after our relationship started but I was approved
