BEST ADVICE GET THERE EARLY!
I cannot stress that point enough, forget what the welcome letter says about not arriving until half hour before your interview.
I was there 7.15am and got allocated ticket number 5001
But like all the other reviews, its a case of going through security, making sure you dont take any battery powered items, cellphones, ipods etc.. (Like the previous UK reviewer i got caught out with the evidence of relationship thing in the form of a musical card! Gutted i had to dash it but my fiance would have done the same - in fact she'd be like go for it - do what you need to do to bring my guy home dammit!  )
So yeah, wait your turn to be called for the document presentation, present all your documents making sure you supply a copy as well, pay the fee and wait for the actual interview.
I have to admit that i was nervous as hell, everytime they called out the numbers my glands sent a rush of... read complete review

I had my interview in late February 2009.
I had read these reviews and was prepared to be there early, so turned up 1 hour early not knowing whether I would be allowed to wait and the guards werent worried what time I was scheduled they told me to join the line. So get there asap is my advice as the line just gets longer.
You stand in the queue and have to show your passport and your appointment letter to the guards when you get to them, then they let you continue to wait. You then get to go through security in the x-ray building to the right of the queue. Needless to say everything goes through the machine. A note of advice, if you take any proof of ongoing relationships that include musical cards, leave them behind. They cant go through as they are electronic so not allowed in the Embassy....I had to bin mine 
Once through the x-ray you then go into the main building, take a ticket number (K1s should get a number begin... read complete review

Flew down from Edinburgh the day before the interview. This gave me time to scout out the area before hand and get settled in. I stayed at the Marble Arch Inn, a little bed a breakfast just a few mins walk from the embassy. The room was small and very basic, but it was a reasonable price and the staff were pleasant and helpful.
On the way to the interview I dropped off my phone at Gould's Pharamcy (a stones throw away from the embassy). It costs £5 for them to hold your items. There were a few other people there for the same reason so they obviously do quite well out of it.
I turned up at the embassy an hour early because I had heard there were normally busy lines to get in, but it was quiet so I decided to wait half an hour in the park and scoff down my mcdonalds toasted bagel.
Getting through security was fine. I had a bottle of water which they asked me to take a sip from to ensure it wasn't deadly (it wasn't, I lived, they let me in).... read complete review

The interview was really easy! Got called up, took the I-134, etc. When he was called for the interview, he was asked how we met, and he explained it was while he was studying at my uni. They then asked if I had ever studied abroad, and he said I had, in Japan. Then he asked when the wedding was and said congrats you are approved!
