I arrived early at around 7:45 and was directed to the line by the fence. They asked me to put electronic and metal items such as keys, phones etc. into a plastic bag and they kept my electronic keys and gave me a number to collect them with when I left. I was given number 5007 and had to wait a little over an hour to be called to the counter. I wasn't nervous waiting but as soon as I got to the counter a few butterflies turned up  . I was asked for certificates and financial details. I had to provide finger prints and pay the visa fee. I was given a bar code and my x-ray and asked to wait to be called for the interview. I didn't have to wait too long for the interview and they asked me how we met and how many times I had been to the US. They also asked for a tax return even though we had provided pay stubs and an employers letter plus proof of my assets. He took my fingerprints again and then said you are approved and that the visa should turn up in a week... read complete review

Everything went well. Only problem was lady at front desk confusing a K1 visa for a non immigrant visa. I know it is a non immigrant visa but it is supposed to be treated as an immigrant visa because it eventually leads to permenant residence. so i waited for my number to called only to be sent back to the front desk to get another number for a immigrant visa.
Also i took a nice package with all the documentation i needed and they wern't intersted. they just wanted my birth certificate and passport.

Everything went swimmingly! We got in line at 8:30 AM almost on the nose and we were in the building with a number by 8:55 AM. We were called to the first counter by about 9:45 AM - the man was pleasant and it didn't take long at all. There weren't any snags with paying either ($380 USD in total on my British visa debit card). And I'm sorry I can't quite remember how long we waited to get called for the actual visa interview part, but it wasn't long. The woman was nice again as well and she didn't ask my husband any questions at all actually. She asked me if I was the petitioner and if I had a home in the US, and she found my answers acceptable. Then she said everything was complete and they just had to make sure Chris didn't have an FBI profile (she nicely said this in a joking manner) and that he should have his passport with visa back within the week!
There was a bit of a to-do with paying for the courier as it costs 21GBP in adddition to the stand... read complete review

VERY easy and painless. Sarah's interview was scheduled for November 1 at 8:00am. She arrived 45 minutes early and was 2nd in the que. So when they let them in, she didn't have to wait. Fingerprinted etc. at the first window, she had to wait a short time in between, then was called for her interview. Fingerprinted again (just to make sure she was the same person that she was 30 minutes before  ). They didn't even go through our stack of evidence that we compiled. They asked where we met, what we did that weekend, how we stayed in contact after that and when she came to America for the next visit, and what her family thought about her moving to Texas. That was about it, approved. One thing they did make her do, she had to check her cell phone, and this is the strange thing - she had an orange juice and granola bar with her, they let her take it in but she had to take a bite and a drink in front of them before they let her in with it! Very smooth, only took ... read complete review

Actually went very smoothly. I arrived early and there were people waiting for the mdecial. We went in and for some reason I was first on the list. No problems with that. But didn't make a lot of difference in the long run.
I arrived at the embassy, which was crazy busy. The embassy in London has concrete barriers and a LOT of security. Pretty cool experience. Sat in the waiting room and was called pretty quickly. He asked a few questions, shook my hand and said "Welcome to America".
