I'm posting this on behalf of my fiance:
I'd been to the embassy before for a J-1 student visa in 2006, so I was preparing myself for the long, tedious wait involved in non-immigrant applications. As it happened, my experience was far more efficient than before, and I was in and out far sooner than I'd expected. I brought a 2-inch thick wad of papers- copies of every single form we'd had to fill out at every stage of the process, originals and copies of my birth certificate, Gina's birth certificate, my police certificate, NOA-1 and NOA-2, relationship evidence etc etc. I even brought my old social security card, proof of the reason why I had been granted one, and evidence for the extension of my previous student visa. I was determined not to get caught short on paperwork!
My appointment was 9:00 on Monday, so I came down to London the day before and stayed with my brother in Islington. I left my phone with him, and arranged to meet him at noon if I didn'... read complete review

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.
