Mmhmm that is the number he called. It's the standard number they give you for pretty much anything. I've called it several times during our K1 application as well. Now was this e-mail sent after you

Just found this on the Consulate website: http://amsterdam.usconsulate.gov/events_2014/changes-to-visa-process-coming2.html

The U.S. Consulate General in Amsterdam will be transitioning to a new and improved visa appointment system on June 19, 2014. Please note the visa application fee will not increase with the coming changes.

Specific details on this new and more convenient way for applicants to pay and schedule a visa submission appointment will be announced closer to the launch of the new services. The implementation of this new system is part of our efforts to continually improve our services for our visa applicants.

Hi everyone! Just found this topic (thanks to Kaylara!) while obsessively browsing VJ during my insane amount of free time. 108 days since NOA1, getting very antsy. Is it weird that I'm excited about being able to call USCIS next month and complain? At least then I'll be able to do something about it. :dancing:

No not at all. I wish I was at that stage right now, but my fiancee waited to long with shipping it and then forgot to sign the I-129F (overlooked the very small signature spot in the middle of the page).

Oops! Well, I can see how that happened, there's just so much to sign and date and check. Wouldn't be surprised if I missed something too. Might have, they haven't touched my file since 17 Jan so they wouldn't know..

We got our NOA2 , now working on the next stage in the proces.

Does someone knows how it works with the vaccinations ?

Are we getting shots at the physical examinations in Amsterdam, or do we have to go to the GGD for that ?

And what to bring to the physical examination , vaccinationbook from our youth and militair passport ?
