Quick question, Johnny's interview date is at 1:30 next Tuesday the 17th; what time should he get to the consulate for his interview? He is thinking he will arrive in Amsterdam at 12 and be at the consulate around 12:30, is that early enough? Is it possible that if he gets their sooner they will take him back sooner?

Hi there! My husband is from the Netherlands. We are currently waiting for the lifting of conditions. Our timeline is filled out as much as it can be, and our story and a few pics are also here. I

Another US/Dutch couple here. I am in the Netherlands (Northern part) and my fiance is from PA. We are gathering the papers for the K1 and are hoping to file this week.

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

hehe...I was on the phone with Pat when I read this so I asked him how it was when he went for his interview...he said his appointment was at 1130 and if he remember right they didn't even open the gates and start letting people in until right at that time. I think that as long as Johnny is there at least 30 mins early then he should be fine.

Hugs, Liz

Haha he is more than ready. He already has his flight booked. He shipped almost all of his stuff over here a while ago, at least three months ago, so all that's left is for him to pack a suitcase and get over here.

Like I've said before, we have the luxury of not being tied down to anything in one country or the other because we're still pretty young and without major careers.

8 more days for me!! I'm flying home on the 20th of november. I'm excited yet so nervous and scared..

Love is patient and kind;

it is not jealous or conceited or proud;

love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable;

love does not keep a record of wrongs;

love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth.

Love never gives up; and its faith, hope, and patience never fail.

Love is eternal.
