Interview was very easy and straight forward. There was a lot of waiting around (3 hours total), but the actual interview was very quick (not more than 10 mins). I got called to the window to pay the fee and hand over my documents, the guy was super nice. Then a wait. Then called back for a few questions about how we met and how long it took us to get engaged, this woman was more business like but perfectly nice. They didn't ask anything nasty or difficult.

We arrived at 8am. No cellphones, laptop, but I DID have my USB key/chip and car keys which had an electronic fob for unlocking. Both were considered an "electronic" item. The girls mentioned there were some cafes on the corner. I found the pharmacy that stores one small bag for 10 pounds. That seemed ridiculous, so I went to Starbucks, and "left" my keys at the counter. The girl was not happy with me, but I was not going to pay 10 pounds to leave a tiny, tiny rental car key! I threw away my USB key as it was a corporate gift.
So we got in.
Were called up after around 45 minutes...by now it's 9:15am. We showed our paperwork, copies AND originals (definitely have copies of everything, b/c they WILL keep a copy of everything.) He asked me about my PhD, and whether or not I had proof from my university that I could complete my research from the US. Of course I did not, and he said that maybe it wouldn't matter...that "it depends on the officer." He then asked... read complete review

When I asked him how it went, he replied, "Read Visa Journey. It went just like all the rest of them. Easy."
No issues whatsoever. He said he wondered what all the fuss was about and what people complain about. He said it was very well managed and if people think this is bad, they obviously haven't tried to get visas to other countries before.
The visa came by courier two days later but it took several more days to actually meet up with them as they only give you a day, not a specific time and working that in was hard.
But the end result...we have the visa in hand and he's free and clear to travel. Not much longer now!

So....today was the interview date!!My dad was driving me to London for extra support for which i was very grateful for. I got to sleep last night at 12am and my alarm gleefully sounded 3 1/2 hrs later for me to get up 
After arranging to meet my dad in a nearby cafe when i was finished I joined the line to get into the embassy. I didnt have any electronic items on me which i was glad about as people who had were being directed to nearby shops where they could store them which added to their stress levels im sure!
Anyways..i waited in line for around 30min before reaching the 1st checkpoint where i had to give a guy my passport and interview letter. Then waited a further 20min where i was summond to the next check point and had to do the same to another guy. Then I joined another line and waited to be called into the 1st part of the embassy where your bags went through a scanner (exactly like at airports) Note eop... read complete review
