We arrived at the embassy in london at 9:55am, it was windy and rainy and the que was long outside the doors. There was a kiosk where a very nice woman checked my DS-260 and passports. After which, we (me heavily pregnant and 2 small children), were directed to go into the airport style security. I had drinks in my bag so was instructed to take a sip of each one. After which we went through and joined another semi-long que to. After queuing for around 5 mins I presented our DS-260 again to a very efficient woman (she was nice enough) and was giving a ticket and directed to the 1st floor and told to wait for my number to be called. Nerves made me forget the direction once I got to said floor that I was supposed to wait in; The room was busy I asked a man I saw in uniform which direction to go. He kindly said turn left. We waited around 2 mins, before the ticket number was called.
I presented the passport pictures, 1 of each person which were scanned
Passport for each person
My police report (ACRO)
Each birth certificate
My marriage certificate
My husbands divorce decree
The kind woman checked these all and ticked them off her sheet. Conversationally, she asked how far along in the pregnancy I was, when I intended to move and she also asked how long I’d been married.
She took my fingerprints and told me to wait for the interview and said good luck. We sat back down and waited a further 10-15mins before being called to another window. A nice woman asked me to take an oath to tell the truth, whilst raising my right hand, to which I did. She asked me how far I was into my pregnancy and also when I intended to move, again very conversational not intimidating at all. She clearly had all the information she needed on screen as she was clicking through.
She took my fingerprints this time for each child and then said once the medical report comes through we will send your passports back with your visa. So you should have your passports back in a week or so.
I was (and still am) so happy! Because just like that, it was over
Overall we were in the embassy for a total of an hour, the experience is exactly like everyone has said here.
