Arrived around 10AM, interview time was 10:30AM. Was a queue when I arrived. Waited outside in the cold for almost 3 hours - apparantly there was a power cut in the morning and also 80 scouts and any US citizens renewing their passports had to go into the Embassy before any of the applicants, which was really frustrated -- every time their line filled up, they were just let straight in. I moved in the queue about 6ft in 3 hours. And I don't know if that was because people were being let in at the front or just because people in the queue were just bunching up because of the cold.
However, once I got inside it was pretty painless. Went to the first window after about 10mins sitting & waiting. Spoke to a guy who asked for the ticket I had been given, birth certificate and police certificate. Took fingerprints & asked me to goto window 12 to pay the visa processing fee. He gave me my X-rays when I got back and also the courier fee form and asked me to fill this in whilst wa... read complete review

DV visa interview:
+ To put it in a simple way everything went fine until the interview -
officier grilled my wife for 30 minutes then invite me alone for another 10 minutes and bang guess what blue sheet with request for further evidence of a relationship, my comment about this particular officer is simple : the guy was blatantly racist (why you married a chinese ? what kind of question is it ? if we were a couple of whites I do not think he would have some of the question he asked) nothing more nothing less.
+ finally we sent all the possible evidences (pictures/emails/mobile bills/utilities bills) three days later
=> No acknowledgement they received the evidences and no reply from various mail I sent.
I do not mind to have the visa refused but keeping people out of the blue for such long period (interview was in January) is unacceptable, I paid for a service and I am not getting a very value for money.
I checked other ... read complete review

March 2,2007 I went with my fiancee to her interview with her.They had no problem letting me in with her due to that i'm a american anyway and i'm her sponser.We waited a 1 hour in the line.Once inside it went very quick only sat down for 10 mins.Then when we were called up to the first desk we spoke to a very polite englishman after he looked over her papers made sure everything was ok.We sat back down and called again in 2 min then spoke with the consulate Officer.He was very nice joked around with us we were all laughing and chatting more then conducting business.So thne he only asked us one question(how did we meet)and also wanted to see a pay stub from my job because I was at my job for less then a year good thing I there because I didn't have a pay stub but I showed him my work ID and badge so he accepted that.Then he said everything was fine and congrats to you both.So I think that embassy is very accomdating the staff was all nice and helped us out alot the only thing thats a ... read complete review

I arrived exactly 30 minutes before my scheduled interview time, showed my passport and interview letter, and was directed to join the shortest queue. I waited for 2 and a half hours to go through the little security checkpoint hut, but it went fairly quickly because I was chatting to the family behind me in the queue.
When I was allowed into the Embassy, a lady at the front desk looked at my letter again and seemed a bit concerned that I'd been waiting for so long, but gave me a little ticket with a number on it and told me to wait in the hall until my number was called. I think it was about 10 minutes before I had to go up to one of the little windows and have the first bit of the interview and pay the application fee. Then I sat reading my book for another 30 minutes before I was called up for the next bit of the interview. The lady who interviewed me checked a few things on my forms, asked me some straightforward questions and then told me I was approved!

I got to the embassy at 9:45 for my 10:30 interview expecting to be turned away for being too early, but was just pointed to join a line. Next to me was the 10am line at around about 10:30 the 10am line started to move so there were clearly some delays. It did annoy me that at around 11am people were still joining the 10am line, if you can't be bothered to turn up to such an important interview on time then you should be forced to wait or reschedule as far as I'm concerned. Anyways, once I got in at about 12:00 I waited for 20 minutes, got called to a window to hand my documents in, got asked my name, asked who my co-sponsor was in relation to my wife (her brother) got asked why her brother had a different surname to her ( I pointed out that it was because my wife took my name when we got married) then I took my xray and sat back down. About another 20 minutes later I got called up to a second window to sign my form and swear that I was telling the truth.
After that all... read complete review
