Re: London Embassy Interview Question
Perhaps because you don't live in the city where the consulate is and need to stay in a hotel the night before (but are checking out before the interview).
EDIT: Of course that doesn't mean you couldn't get rid of the toiletries before the interview but the idea of having them with you in the first place isn't stupid - I doubt the OP was planning to freshen up mid-interview.

Re: London Embassy Interview Question
I've read about the pharmacy that stores electronic items.But I don't know if they'd take the charger,hence wondering if there is a definitive list anywhere.If it is like an airport then I'd imagine it will be fine.

Re: London Embassy Interview Question
In which case, one should also have a change of clothes and a small overnight bag to hold both the clothes and the toiletries? I know that I personally would not want to be in the consulate pulling out my papers from the same bag that contained yesterday's smelly clothes and my toiletries. How embarassing!
The question is a FAQ - there have been inumerable posts telling people of a nearby pharmacy where belongings can be left while attending the interview. Regards, JEff

I didn't see this - haha!
I'm sure the pharmacy will take the charger as well as the phone but it might cost you a few quid extra. Again, not the end of the world considering all the money immigration costs!

Re: London Embassy Interview Question
Do report back on whether you managed to extract your paperwork from your bag without accidentally flinging your soiled underwear in the consular officer's face
. Or, better still, go to Gould's and try to leave just a pair of pants (British English meaning) with them, and let us know how that goes.

Re: London Embassy Interview Question
Oh dear... I think someone is taking the p!$$ here. No but seriously Chris, you should just chill now and fantasize about your future life in the USA instead of worrying about this. Don't bring the charger! It has a plug! The instructions say nothing with a plug allowed! Oh dear I think I'm turning into Ian. Must stop my addiction to this forum. Bye... and good luck!

I wonder if he's one of those people who lays down 'racing stripes'?

Re: London Embassy Interview Question
I'm not going to pay those prices re the phone call.
Thanks for your input.
