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

The interview was fine. Both the man who dealt with the paperwork and the lady who asked the questions were very friendly. It was a very fast experience (into the Embassy at 9am, out by 10am).

I had my interview on 5th March 2008 and below is my experience
I got the tube around 9am back to Bond Street and arrived at the Embassy at about 9.30 to join the queue. Security told me to come back in half an hour (Which worried me slightly as my interview was at 10!) Went and sat chain smoking in Grosvenor square for half an hour and then rejoined the queue.
They made me turn my phone off and put it in a plastic bag to hand in at security. There were probably about 50 other people in the queue and I had to line up for about half an hour. (There was a man in front of me who looked VERY familiar... I can't can't work out if he was famous or not, lol) went through security and the metal detector etc and then went and got a number from the front desk (No. 5017) sat on a chair in the main hall and waited for my number to be called (There is a big screen and an automated message calls out numbers also... So there is definitely no danger of... read complete review
