I’ll begin my review, first off, by stating that some of the details I mention might not apply to other interviewees due to the fact that I am disabled and therefore, certain procedures were slightly different from the routine interview process.
Anyways though, my interview was scheduled for 9am on the 15th January 2010. We didn’t much fancy trying to get a train down to London (especially not with a wheelchair) so we opted to drive down. We left the house at 3:40am, and were parked up in the car park near Hyde Park by about 7. This is really good time, considering it took us over an hour more to get to the medical back in November last year.
The car park under Hyde Park is absolutely massive, and when we arrived there at 7am, there was loads of space available. We headed over to the disabled parking bays, which are conveniently located near the pay machine, customer services desk, disabled toilets, and exit. Pricing is not too bad at all – w... read complete review

So.....
I live in London, and as a result, long travel times weren't a problem. Myself and my USC wife decided to stay in a hotel a bit closer to the Embassy anyway, just so we didn't have to be up ridiculously early for our 8am appointment.
We left the hotel over at Kings Cross at around 6:30am.... got a taxi to my office in SOHO so that I could drop of everything we couldn't take into the embassy.
We then walked the 15minutes to get to the Embassy.
We were outside the Embassy at 7:10am for an 8am appointment, and there were people ahead of us in the queue already........
They started to let people in at around 7:40 and it was a fairly quick process. We were sat down inside by around 7:50.
I must have been the first Immigrant visa applicant in the queue as mine was the first 'I' number called at around 8:05am. I handed all my documents over at the counter and was told to go and pay for the visa ... read complete review

Consular was very quick with his questions. He was not rude, they will always look at you closely on how you respond to questions. He only asked me 3-4 questions and told me that he is happy with the paperwork and he will issue me the visa! 
*The asian lady who u submit the forms to the first time you get called to a window was VERY VERY VERY RUDE!!! 
It was just bad luck that their system went down right before I was meant to be called for my interview! In total I had to wait 4.5 hours! I went into the embassy with an appointment time of 8am, I did not leave until 12:30pm!
I will not give it a very bad waiting only because my interview was very easy!

Interview review for US Consulate, London, UK (K-1/K-2)
Arrived to Victoria station at 6:45am. Took a slow walk to Goulds Pharmacy which opened at 7:30am. They charged me £3.00 to store my phone and sealed it in a bag then took my name and mobile number and had me sign a form fixed to the bag. I then walked to the embassy and wandered about a bit wondering what I should do since my interview wasn't until 9am. After about 5 minutes I decided to queue up since it was quite cold outside. This was at approximately 7:45am. There was about 20 people already there and it took me 10 minutes to reach the guard station. I was asked to show my interview letter and ID (I used my passport). The guard directed me to queue up to have my bags scanned. I had brought my handbag and a soft-sided bag containing all of my forms, etc. I was asked to remove any belts or watches. A man took my bags and items and placed them into a plastic container which scanned on a conveyor much l... read complete review

Phill's interview was at 9:30am and he got into the building and had his number by 9:07am. He said he waited in this large waiting area and sat there until about 11:25am before his number was called. Once he was called, he went to the window and handed the girl the forms she asked for which were: affidavit of support+supporting evidence from me and our co-sponsor (they didn't ask for it, but he gave it to them anyway), 1 copy police certificate, 1 copy birth certificate, passport, and 2 passport sized photos. They didn't look at my employer letter or our evidence of relationship info. Then she took his finger prints (4 on each hand then two thumb prints) but the machine was broke, so she sent him over to pay the $131. He came back and got his fingerprints sorted out. Gave him a pink form to fill in for the courier and he sat and waited for 45 mins to be called again. This time he went to the interview window and had a pleasant American woman who had him sign the DS forms from pa... read complete review
