I am a uk citizen married to a us citizen who has lived for 3 years over
here. After a year total of waiting, I got my visa today! We arrived at the
embassy at 10, our appointment was for 10 30. We got in after waiting out in
the cold at 10 45. After waiting about 35 minutes, we were called to a
window. We submitted all our paperwork. Then I was told to go pay. As I was
waiting in the queue to pay, I was called to a second window. My wife rushed
up and told the woman I was paying. She then double checked the papers, made
me swear an oath, and take fingerprints. This took 5 minutes. Then I went to
the courier section and turned in my courier form. I was done! Total time in
embassy...50 minutes. Total time waiting for this moment...one year and 5
days. Wow!

Congratulations. I received my passport back the next day even though they
told me it would take 5 days.

All I need to do now is sell my flat then I'm off :o)

All the very best to you.
