Tom and I got to the embassy at 7:30 AM and our appointment was 8 AM. We stood in line until about 7:45, at which time we had to go through security. We both had backpacks and Tom had his big camera. We had to leave our mobiles and camera at security and they gave us a number slip to go and get the stuff when we were finished.
We were give a number and asked to sit and wait for it to be called. at 7:50 AM, our number was called. We went to the window and a man, named Keith, asked us for all the documentation we were required to give and stated in packet three. He also took Tom's fingerprints. He looked everything over and told us to sit back down. He also had Tom pay the $100 visa amount. This took about 10 minutes. We then sat back down in the big waiting room and waited for 45 minutes until our number was called. We went to the window and they checked Tom's fingerprints again to verify he was Tom. A very nice woman asked Tom how long we had been married, whe... read complete review

 ...From the details my wife told me:
Got there early before embassy opened and brought one GIANT bag of documents. She had her passport and interview letter checked. The security told her that the hand cream she was carrying was not allowed, so she chucked it. Entered and took a number. Called to the counter to submit documents and did after about 1/2 hour later. Then was called to second counter for the "interview". Interviewer was a nice person and it turned more into an informal talk. Some general questions of "When were you married"? "How did you meet"? etc. Nothing crazy...
Now, I am going to rate this consulate a 4 because the consulate itself deserved a 5, but the phone service is horrible. They are absolutely useless. Calling results in nothing except "4 more weeks". A bit of advice: use the phone number to get an e-mail code. The e-mail personnel usually have a good grasp on the process and give you an answer w... read complete review

I'm submitting this review second-hand as I was not there for the interview itself. I apologize in advance if my details are flimsy as I know many of you turn to these reviews to get an idea of what to expect. My fiance's appointment was April 19th, at 9:30AM. He arrived right on time, passed through security and had to surrender his mobile phone. He was asked to pay the fee for the day, which he did and then proceeded to wait in a hallway for about an hour. After awhile a tall woman appeared and called him in. He said she was rather scary to be honest, he said that most of the other official people around seemed very open and nice, but this woman was very 'business'. She started out asking simple questions about where and when me met but did not seem very concerned with the topic. She did not ask to see any of the photos he brought, nor did she ask for the updated letter of intent. Her focus was the money situation. I am not employed, haven't been for 10 years, I live off the interest... read complete review

My husband had his K-3 interview on Wednesday, April 18. I was with him. Some of our experience might only apply to K-3 applicants. His appointment time was 10:30 and we joined the line we were directed to outside at 9:40 am. (Note: Do not try to change lines. While we were waiting, someone changed to a shorter line and then when he got to the front of that line they sent him to the end of the line that he had moved out of and now the line he returned to was much longer and he had to go to the end.) Luckily for us, the weather was nice so waiting outside for 45 minutes was not uncomfortable. Also at some point, someone came by asking for everyone there for immigrant visas to move out of the long line to a short line. Technically, the K visas are nonimmigrant visas but for this purposes they were counting them as immigrant visas so luckily I asked whether those with K visas where suppose to move to the other line and they were.
Around 10:25 am, we were entering the visa a... read complete review

As reported by my fiance:
Got in line (queue) 30 minutes prior to 10am appt. Wonderful security personnel making jokes and generally helping to ease the tension of all of the people waiting to get thrugh security. Slight problem with security...seemed the musical card I'd sent could be "seen" on the x-ray machine. Had to leave it with her cell phone. Darn..and it was so cute too! It sand "Wild Thing". LOL
Got directions from a smiling lady at reception area. Was one of only 2 "immigrant" visas waiting for appts. Called to first window, turned over police report, financial docs, etc. told to go pay $100 visa fee. Chuckled about the dollar to pound exchange rate, since this was the least expensive part of the whole process! Gave pay slip back to nice lady at initial window she was seen at. Told to have a seat.
Called for interview in less than 30 minutes. Thanks to previous posters in this section, my fiance wore a watch, so she would know how much tim... read complete review
