Was up nice and early and headed into London getting to the Embassy just before 0700 for an 0800 interview. Thankfully it was a glorious morning, so hanging around outside the Embassy was fine but be prepared if inclement weather is forecast; there is no shelter!
I was forth in the queue, the others were applying for non-immigrant visas, and the line grew VERY rapidly from just after 0700 onwards. There were no staff posted outside until 0730 so my tip, if you have an 0800 interview is just to get there nice and early despite the letter telling you not to get there until half-hour before.
At 0730 a lady came over and asked to see appointment letters and told us to prepare for security screening. The Embassy has airport style screening, however absolutely NO electronic devices are permitted. No phones, no ipods, no car alarm zappers. Nothing, you will be turned away if you do. Security only took a minute or so and then it was on to the reception.

9am interview. Queue took about 20 minutes to get inside the building.
Don't forget to make sure you don't bring electronic items or phones with you as you will NOT be be able to enter with them.
I waited for 1 hour before I was called up. Was asked for my interview letter, 2 photos, my fingerprints taken, and then the documents from the checklist (police certificates etc). I was also given my chest x-ray from my medical to take to the US.
Sat down again and waited another 1.5 hours until I was called again for the final step. Was asked to sign a form and write my fiancé's name in the space. Then asked a few questions about how we met, when we got engaged, where he lives...
Then...APPROVED!
Pretty simple & straightforward. Very friendly staff at each stage.
A LOT of waiting so bring a book!
They DO accept credit card for the payment of the visa, as well as GBP and USD cash, but not personal ch... read complete review

Tom arrived 30 min. before and stood in the line. He waited in the waiting room after he got his number. The pre-screener called him to the window and he handed in all of the paperwork. He then waited another 45 min. until they called him to the window 2 down from the first. The lady was very nice. She asked Tom, where we met? did we date right after we met? do we have any children? a boy or a girl? And that was it--she told him he was approved.....they were all very friendly and helpful!!!

Needed to send the embassy my Wife's W2 after the interview as all we'd given initially was her tax return, which wasn't enough apparently. She said everything was ok other than them needing the W2, and it'd be accepted and sent to us as soon as they received it.

Vik got to the Embassy at 8am for his 8:30am interview. The fist officers computer was not working, so it took over an hour to get Vik's fingerprints done. After that the interview itself was short and sweet. As he was waiting for the machines to work for the fingerprinting, the officer told him to go deposit his passport for processing and pay the courier fees. At the end of the interview Vik asked the officer if he was approved, and he was told that he was but that there were a couple of computer checks that the officer had to do. What happens now? We will wait and see...
