I feel as though the whole interview process was a lot less scary than I had told myself. The Embassy, itself, is easy to get to if you're travelling by public transport, and the entry process isn't too daunting either.
You do, however, have to wait outside whilst someone checks over your appointment letter and ID, which isn't the best when it's raining.
I'll just add that prior to your interview, you receive an email from the embassy with details on what to expect, the location, required documents and the security measurements. I would also like to emphasise that it's VITAL you bring every single piece of paperwork/evidence you can think of because it's not always listed on goverment websites/checklists.
One thing I did notice about my experience was the very friendly staff. The procedure is like an airport but the people are chatty and welcoming.
From the journey to the actual interview, for me, everything went smoothly. However... I failed to bring two paper copies of requested documents;
1) An updated letter of agreement from my fiance stating that he is willing and happy to marry me within the 90 days
2) His tax returns
Thankfully, the consular officer was very kind to me and gave me an email address where I could send these documents as I had them digitally. Unfortunately, this did not change my interviewer's decision when they then offered me a 221(g).
Despite the unwanted outcome, I left the embassy feeling slightly relieved, I think the friendliness of the staff had put me at ease from the beginning.
