My interview was for 08:30 so I had to start the day pretty early to get the train. I have to admit, my nerves were pretty frayed the whole journey there. If anyone is wondering which underground station is best to walk from, I got off at Marble Arch and it was a simple matter of exiting out of the Park Lane exit and turning left. Took maybe 7 or 8 minutes to walk to the embassy from there.
Upon arrival at the embassy I joined a queue of maybe 12-15 people who were waiting to go through security. A friendly woman outside checked my visa appointment letter. Then a second woman checked it, and then I was into the security building which is very simple - just like airport security. Then it's a simple matter of following the signs and entering the embassy. At the front desk, another guy checked my visa appointment letter (make sure you have it handy!) and then gave me a number in 4 printed out sticky labels. He stuck them onto a plastic folder, make sure that you actually ta... read complete review

okdokey, I've had a little doze and some dinner, so here's a little recap on my day.
The 3 of us caught the bus down to London on Thursday night. It was a cold one up here in Scotland but the bus was running, left only half an hour late and got into London at 0815. Ended up getting to the embassy at 0915, 45 mins late.
Bad attitude at the initial securty check.
Bad attitude at the reception where you get the number.
4 hour wait before getting first call to window.
Bad attitude at first window. They had "lost" my medical results and found it after some searching at the back.
Each of the 3 people I dealt with were, I believe, British!
During my 2 hour wait for interview with ConOff we had a security alert where we moved into the passage alongside the bathrooms for 10 mins before allowing to return back to the seat.
Called to interivew. Got up there and introduced Cindy and Josie to the nicest government emplo... read complete review

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!
