My husband was very nervous for his interview after going through all of the security. He was so sure he was going to be drilled with 8 million questions and get someone who disliked him!! He was asked 4 questions by one person...then went back up when he was called and answered a few more questions with a different person. Simple, easy questions and he was congratulated with a smile about his visa being approved  He says he spent about 10 minutes between the two people (and of course maybe an hour of waiting time?) and then it was all over, he paid the fee for the mailing of the visa package to him, and was walking back out the door less than 2 hours after he entered. He kind of was in shock, as he expected it to be a long drawn out day of stress. LOL

This was the second visit to the london US Embassy for me, the first time around it was for my K1 visa interview, this was a very bad experience for me personally as I had an interview with a young woman around 24 with an obvious chip on her shoulder, both my Fiancee (at the time) and myself had both been married before a couple of times, this woman made comments about how this must be true love as we have been married several times between us, she tried to upset me and get a angry reaction, which I did not respond to, she was very abrupt and gave me a refusal notice with a smile.
So you can imagine my anguish when I had to go back to the Embassy after getting married and applying for a K3 visa, our visa now requires a waiver of extreme hardship to overcome the 2 points that they have against me, a crime of moral turpitude and for not ticking the box on the visa waiver form on my visits to the USA now they have added immigration fraud... So I went armed with a bag loaded... read complete review

For anyone attending a visa interview in London, my 1st piece of advice would be - go to the US EMBASSY LONDON website and watch their YouTube information video 'Attending a Non-Immigrant Visa Interview'. This will give you a very good idea what to expect, and I strongly urge you all to do this. The video can be found here - http://www.usembassy.org.uk/youtube/index.html. Otherwise here's my personal account of what happened on my own Interview day...
I was a little anxious to be honest and had been for a couple of days running up to the big day. My interview appointment was scheduled for 8am, and after a sleepless night and a very early wake up, I arrived at the London Embassy in Grosvenor Square just after 7am. It was still dark... luckily I'd missed the earlier rain and it was dry - but do make sure you bring a small umbrella or coat as you will be waiting outside for a while.
There are 2 qu... read complete review

Interview scheduled for 9.30am
I arrived at Gould's Pharmacy at 8:30am. They stored my MacBook, 2 iPods (don't ask), keys, USB cable & my mobile phone, ALL for just £3!! Bargain!
The Embassy security system has changed vastly since I last here in 2006 & 2007, seems much more efficient....
I joined the queue for Visas, and with Only 3 people ahead of me it was already looking good. Within a few minutes I was through security, past reception and inside the waiting area. It took only approx 20 minutes before I was called to Window 13, was my luck about to end? lol. After being asked for my Police certificate, FULL birth certificate and a USA sized mugshot I was instructed to pay the $131 fee at the next window TIP!!! Pay in cash to get the best rate!!
After sitting back down, it was a near full 2 hours before I would be summoned for my interview with the Consular Officer. While the wait began with nerves and ex... read complete review

I travelled down the night before, my interview was on Tuesday 6th Oct, got a flight to Luton Airport(was the cheapest)off flight on to waiting but to the Parkway for the train into London, half an hour away, arrived at St.Pancras station and walked to the hotel i had booked which was just across the road from the station, it was nothing swanky just cheap, would only be there for one night,found it on www.londontown.com.
Ok, made my way to the Embassy stopping off at the Pharmacy to leave my cell phone(£4) which you dont get back,my appointment was at 0930 so i arrived at 0830, at the outside of the building you have to show your letter of appointment for them to tick you off their sheet for the day to allow you to pass to security, again which is outside the building, once past here you are directed to the main reception door where you show your letter again and they give you a pink sheet and a barcode with a number on it. you make your way up a flight of stairs to the main ha... read complete review
