Had my CR-1 visa interview today at the London Consulate and it all went great. Final outcome...approval!!
So, here is how it all went: the appointment was at 8.00 am, so my husband (who was accompanying me) and I arrived at 7.30 am and queued up outside. The queue was shorter than I expected (about 15 people in front of us), but within 5 minutes of our arrival it tripled in length. So I guess we just got lucky! We went through the initial passport and Security checks and were in at 7.50. My priority number was the second immigrant visa for the day. As expected, the vast majority of people were there for non-immigrant visas. We sat in the (big) waiting room and waited to be called. What I liked was that, while the room was very big, everything was within easy reach - the toilets, the vending machine and the DX courier desk all in the same space as the waiting room.
At 8.10 my number was called to the first window. My husband stayed behind at the waiting area and ... read complete review

So here goes: My interview was at 9am, got there at 815am, queue was massive, got through all the checks and got my number I913 at 858am.
Then the wait began after 45 mins my number was called, the guy was nice, he asked for Birth Certificate, Police Report, I 134 and I 134 for co sponsor. Only wanted W2 and 1040's. Also asked for Ds 230 Part 2, my fiances Birth certificate. Took fingerprints, gave me my xray and pink slip and told me to go to sit down.
I waited about 30 mins and i was called for interview, i swore an oath, checked fingerprints, asked where i would be living? When was i getting married? Have i sent the invites? I signed DS 156 k then i was done, APPROVED
INTERVIEW WAS 5 MINUTES. Queued to pay courier then i was out at 1045am.

My appointment was set for 10am, i woke up at stupid o'clock after going to sleep at stupider o'clock...arrived at the embassy at 8.45am - the queue was already ridiculous. It felt like i queued for ages but turned out to be just under 30 mins. The security people working the queue were very friendly, checking we had the mrv and passports, giving out baggies for belts loose change etc reminding us not to carry any electronics and advising on the closest places to store things.
As i neared the front of the line i saw a notice saying that everyone should have available for inspection: MRV, Passport, Letter of appointment and a DS-160 Confirmation. Of course i had a lot of forms and paperwork with me, but no DS-160 Confirmation when i asked about it he looked at my letter and said the DS-160 wasnt applicable for me, so i assume that would be for non-imigrant visa's.
They were taking us in groups of four through security, pockets emptied, possesions in ... read complete review

A very pleasent experience. The security was very very tight and they were just putting in new security bunkers. Overall it was a hurry up and wait. Being told 3 times to sit and wait and then finally dealing with me. Not a kid friendlyb place though.

Overall my husband's interview was a good experience. We got there early, went through security and waited for a while before we were called to the first window. I was nervous about the proof of domicile for the I-864 since I had not looked for employment or houses in the US yet. I took a supporting I-864 form from my mother just in case but we did not need it in the end. They asked my husband what job he worked in and they accepted a copy of the notice letter I sent to my employer as my proof of domicile. Otherwise the woman just asked general chit-chat questions while she checked the rest of the paperwork. Then we paid the visa fees around the corner and waited to be called by the immigration officer. He was a laid-back bloke who asked how we met and what my husband did for work. Then he said that he had checked through all of the paperwork and it looked good so he was going to approve us! My husband had to say an oath and then that was it! We paid the postage for our visa ... read complete review
