Darren arrived for his 9:00 AM visa interview at 8:20 AM. After a little miscommunication by the workers at the outside queue, ten minutes later he was in the building; he showed them his passport and received a number in the 5000's. He was called about 20 minutes later to the payment window to pay for his visa; after that, they sent him to another window where they checked his passport again, took his fingerprints, and checked his paperwork (police certificate). About 20 minutes after that, he was called up for his interview. They checked the fingerprints, administered the oath, had him sign the paperwork forms (DS-230), and they asked him two questions (1. Where did you meet? and 2. Why are you moving to the United States?)
Since he didn't have the correct police certificate (grrrrr...wish the webmaster would update the site), he didn't have to leave his passport. If you have the correct one, you would leave your passport to be sent with your visa and then pay for... read complete review

Easy. After a few hours of waiting, the actual "interview" took five minutes. Seems to be a waste of time really.

Amy went to London to have her interview. She was interviewed by two different officers.
She showed them information such as my birth certificate, her police record, etc. She was asked questions like why she was moving to the US instead of me (the USC) moving to her, how long we'd known each other, how many times we've met, etc.
They only looked over my I-134, and did not keep my co-sponsor's information. They did not look at tax records, evidence of the ongoing relationship, photographs, or anything really.
She was told she was approved "barring anything coming back on the fingerprint scan" (IE: she comes back as a criminal, but we know she's not) and that she'll get her Visa in 3-5 business days, along with her passport back. This was on Thursday, April 10, 2008. She should have those items in a couple of days we imagine.
Even though I wasn't there, I think I'd rate this experience a 5. She had an interview at 9 am, and by 1... read complete review

I had *the* most awful sleep, so I wake up at 7am in our little hotel in Bayswater feeling exhausted, panicky and stressed. I crawl out of bed, drag myself to the bathroom and clean my teeth, wash etc. before heading back into the room to get dressed. My mum and I leave at about 7:30am for my 9:00am appointment. I knew it was ridiculously early but I hate hanging around when I know I have to be somewhere and I don’t have anything better to do.
We get on the tube and got off at Marble Arch. By the time we have walked to the Embassy it is about 7:55am. There is a huge queue and I thank my lucky stars I got there so early – it means that even though I am at the back of this huge queue, at least I will make it to the front in good time. For good measure, my mum takes some pictures of me queuing, much to the amusement of a nearby policeman who could barely hide his laughing :D
The queue moved a lot quicker than I expected and by the time I got to the end of... read complete review

So what do you think - am I coming across the water?? You bet I am - I should have the Visa in 3 or 4 days so we can then carry on with the rest of our lives after that eh? So I will be on that plane on the 18th have no fear!
It wasn't easy however??!!
Well first and foremost its paperwork gees why do people insist on it?
I get to the embassy at about 8:15 so ok there is already a queue of about 30 people argggghh and this is outside in the street. So I walk up to the high biz jacketed security person and she says, “Where's your appointment letter?” "My what"??!! “Appointment letter” she repeats. "No idea" I reply. And I really hadn't. I did not recall you putting it in the packet and I am sure it does not state on it anywhere to bring it with you. So I give the security person all the copy docs coz I know I wont find it and nor does she!! Now what?? She looks on her list of people turning up "More paperwork" I thought. Anyway of cou... read complete review
