Arrived around 9.35 for a 10.00 interview. Showed my passport and interview email confirmation sheet to the girl outside the entrance. Went through security and into the building reception. Receptionist took the same docs and printed out a number and couple of barcodes and said go up in the lift to floor 1 and furn left and then left again. The ticket tells you which window to sit near to be called to.
I sat down around 9.45 to wait maybe 5 or 10 minutes and was called up to a window with the ticket number. The guy (who was a total misery) took my marriage cert, police cert, birth cert, passport, passport pic, comformation of courier email for passport to come back to. Asked when we got married. Took my finger and thumb prints. Told me to sit back down in the same area and wait to be called back and in the meantime read the sheet on domestic violence.
Another 10 mins maybe went past and I was called back up, asked to hold my right hand up and swear that everything i answered was the truth. I took out my ridiculous folder of info and history and the lady this time smiled and said I'm likely to disappoint you but I doubt I'll want to see any of that but thank you for taking the process seriously and coming prepared. She asked me when and where we met, where my spouse currently lives, asked about the ceremony, asked what I do and what I hope to do for work and then asked when I hoped to emigrate.
After that she said good news, you're accepted and give it up to two weeks in case of any delivery delays but you'll be good to go in 3 weeks. All in all (other than the first guy who wasn't American and seemed go be hating life) very quick and painless. The interview was like a chat more than anything too scary. Roll on the flight in just over 3 weeks time!
