| Embassy Review : |
Well here is my interview experience. I went down to London on the Monday evening and stayed at a friends place. Tuesday got to the US Embassy around 9.15am, someone checked my appointment letter (note, those with appointments more than an hour later have to wait in a second queue until time). Then I was off through the x-ray machine and a long walk around the buildings perimeter. My ticket was number 16 and about 20 minutes later I saw the lovely Chinese woman at desk 1. She took my paperwork, saw that my fiancée earned above the poverty level, asked when I intend to fly and then said no problems here so go sit down and wait for the interview.
Another 20 minutes and I was called to a lady at desk 15. First she took my finger prints, then I swore to her (‘I do’), she looked at the medical and asked how I met my fiancée (said 'how lovley to my responce') and if I'd met her partents, and viola; she said ‘you're done here’. I said ‘what that's it’? She said ‘yes go and pay for the SMS courier service’. (I wanted the welcome to America but I guess not). Less than two hours and I was on my way with a huge grin on my face.
My visa arrived the next morning, less then 24 hours later. That’s good delivery service for £9.50. The next day I handed in my notice and plan to leave near the beginning of March. Thanks to everyone that has given advice, the folks from the London Embassy Forum have been great.

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
