On July 7th I had my interview. I was there very early and the security officer said that I should come back when it was time, because it didn't matter to wait there for an hour and a half( yes I was that early plus I didn't sleep that night). He was very friendly and me and my Dad who came for moral support waited at a cafe/restaurant right across the street. I had the appointment at 1.30PM and I went back around 1.
I had to wait for a short while. The keep asking if you had mobile/electronic devices with you(can't believe you take them with you when on your appointment letter it clearly says to not bring any). One guy had his hand broken and was told to come back again later since you need to have your fingerprints taken. When I went through the security check the security officer told me to go to window 5 and wait there in the same order as I came in(in line).
One girl was waiting in the wrong room(don't get that either when they clearly tell you where to go. I was b... read complete review

May 24th 2016 I finally had my interview at the embassy in Amsterdam. We filed for our petition in january 2015 so we'd been waiting forever!!
I had gone over all my paperwork a million times to check and see if I had everything. The thing that threw me off was the police record. In the Netherlands they meant the VOG with that (verklaring omtrent gedrag). But I thought they meant an actual police record for if you'd been in trouble with the law.
I found this out like 5 days before the interview and that made me even more nervous than I already was because I was afraid they'd deny me because of that.
On the 24th I stood in line with maybe 15 other people. 2 girls had not read the rules of the consulate I guess and had their phones with them (I still don't understand that because we were told this wasn't allowed a million times) and they wouldn't let them in.
I had to go through a small security checkpoint inside (nothing compared to th... read complete review

Erik (my fiance) and I went to the consulate with full knowledge that I would wait outside.
Our appointment was at 13:30. We got in line at 12:34. At 12:52 we reached the front of the line and Erik went in through the heavy glass door. Once inside, they reviewed his papers but then could not find his name on the list and sent him outside to wait. After waiting outside until 13:15, the group of immigrant visa interviewees was invited back inside. At this point, they reviewed papers again and scolded Erik for having "the list." Apparently, when reviewing his papers, the guard placed the list in with Erik's papers. A second guard questioned Erik about where he got the list and why he had it. Erik didn't want to cause any trouble by naming the specific guard but in the end did point out the one who made the mistake. After that, everything went pretty much as explained in the prior posts. Erik was the first one in line but a sneaky guy moved his way to the front. In the end, ... read complete review

It has been some crazy weeks for me before I was able to upload my review. I will go in a lot of details, because when I was waiting for my visa to be approved I started reading every review as a maniac. So it is only fair for me to help others with this.
I'll start with the medical:
I called in, and got a friendly lady on the phone, they usually schedule u in a week before the interview date. Take ur passport with u, 4 AMERICAN sized pictures (I know it says different on some of the things, but take 4 with you). And ur vaccination record (if u don't have it u can email the RIVM and they will find it for you) if u are missing vaccinations and u have the right insurance, get them before hand, so you won't have to pay. The vaccinations u need are:
DTP
Flueshot (if in season)
BMR
Take also cash with you (no cards), 140 euros for the medical and 50 for the X-RAY. (save the receipts).
When u get in... read complete review
