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 time had elapsed. She reported that the "All-American" young man who interviewed her was extremely pleasant. He made her laugh when she said it wasn't what she was expecting and he put on a "campy British accent" and teasingly asked if she'd thought just the two of them would sit down for a nice chat over tea and scones? He was very professional, and very thorough. She said he did lots of typing and explained that he hoped that by being thorough now, it would help us have a smoother process for AOS in the future. How nice is that??
She said he thanked her for having duplicate copies of everything. It saved him some work.
When he said "All of this looks to be in order", she hesitated then asked..."Does that mean I'm approved?". When he said "Yes".....she burst into tears. He told her she wasn't supposed to cry when he says "yes" only if he says "No"...and she managed to respond that they were "happy tears"!
She paid the courier fee and left the Embassy to call Me!
All in all, it was a nice finish to this part of the process.
