Well, very anti climatic but a huge relief its finally over and done with!!
Ok arrived at Victoria Stn at 645 and had a quick walk up to Goulds Pharmacy on St Audley street which opened at 0730hrs. When i got there a few other people were also dropping stuff off, which is £5 by the way.
I got two new pictures done to be on the safe side as my others were 8-9 months old. Again £5 for two.
Walked back to the Embassy and joined the queue, about 0745hrs
A young lady was wandering around with small clear plastic bags and telling folk to put any loose change, watches, rings, belts etc inside (basically anything metallic) Ladies if you have a small bag then everything can go inside that from what I could see.
After 5-10 minutes we started to filter thro security. There's a small check mid way where they check your passport and interview letter.
Got through security no problems although they made me drink half my bottle of pop, to prove it wasn't li... read complete review

Well after waking up with nerves constantly, throughout the night in my hotel room across the road from the embassy,I went across at around 8:45 perhaps 8;50 to line up for my 9:30 am interview. After i got throught the two security checks,and got my 5000 number (5017)from the lady at the counter in the lobby, and got up stairs to sit down it must have been ten past nine maybe, it took a few minutes to get through the que, not much time at all. when it was finally my turn to see the first guy (english and very nice and gentle mannor) it was about half ten i think. he got me to sign a couple of things and sent me to counter 12 to pay ( £88.60 gbp)and come again, after which he gave me back my x ray and told me what to do with it, took Vitos 2007 tax returns and employer letter only, birthcertificate plus copy, and police certificate plus copy. my finger prints and photos.  once he had everything he gave me the sms courier sheet with the number and... read complete review

Total time Nath spent waiting/interviewing was about 2 hours. People taking documents or interviewing were polite. Nothing terrible or fantastic.

Arrived in ample time for a 9am interview. Had to waste some extra time before they would let me join the queue - there's a Starbucks 100yds from the Embassy gate, heading back towards Oxford St if you find yourself in a similar situation  .
I turned up in a shirt and tie which I thought was probably important beforehand. Very few others were smartly dressed but then most were there for tourist visas. If I were to do it again, I'd still wear a shirt and tie, impressions do count, officially or otherwise .
There was some hassle at the first window because the Embassy scheduled my interview at very short notice and before we'd sent the final packet back indicating we were ready  and I didn't have an Affidavit of Support with me. That said, the man left it for the IO to deal with, sent me to pay (possible in USD or GBP - I paid in USD which seemed to surprise the woman) and sit back down. The wa... read complete review

Got there nice and eary 15 or so mins before our 8.30 appointment, waited in a little line (not as big as most days for once, we'd been in london for a week or so before figuring out where to go so not to be in a mad panic on the day) were put 2nd in the line for K1 visas Woot! waited about 30 mins and got called up, handed over our documents, got most handed back to us with a nice smile, got my chest X-ray back along with the medical exam notes and a chunky file sealed. peeked at the forms and saw a nice red rubber stamp saying approved!!!
Had a nice chat with the guy at the window as he looked over our docs, unfortunately we had a problem with our police check...
So our Visa was Approved but suspended, the original police check we had sent had been replaced by a newer version unbeknown to us (we had been having trouble with the london embassy and their office black holw.. sent in multiple Packet 3's to no avail. my Fiance got his congresswoman to inquire... read complete review
