So we arrived at the set time and there was a line outside of the consulate. No one was outside directing people where to go or who should be lined up first (this is important as the line isn't purely K-1 fiance petitioners). One guard did pop his head out and I told him we had an appointment for 13:00 (I think - honestly I can't remember the time anymore) when it was already 45 minutes past. He was very rude and told us to just get in line, so we did.
When my fiance got in (I, the American citizen wasn't allowed in the consulate) the same guard checked his paperwork and said, "Oh, why didn't you say you had an appointment for an hour ago?" At that point we had been waiting outside in the cold for well over an hour. My fiance responded that I had told him and he said to wait. The guy brushed us off.
When my fiance got into the waiting room for K-1 visas there was only one window open for about 8 waiting people. There was a man from Syria with a screaming i... read complete review

Hello people
I have one simple question.
After your interview in Amsterdam and a YES they send you the visa by mail PostNL.
Do you get an e-mail notification that the envelop is on his way to your address?
Thanks

I walked to the consulate and joined the line, some guard yelled that the people coming for the immigrant visas (vs the non-immigrant visas) had to go and stand in front of the line.
So I ended up standing in front of the line and I went into the building first.
I didn't bring anything but my files so I went through security went pretty fast. (no phones or other electronic devices!) The immigrant visa people had to go to a different room then the one I went to last time when I came for my B-2. (I got denied for a B-2 before)
But it was very similar, a small room with 5 counters with people behind windows. I was called to window number 5 and there was a very nice Dutch speaking man, asking me for my birth certificate, police records and proof of support. I was very organized and he was very impressed and happy about that.
I had to sit down again, talked to some other girls going for the K-1 visa that were sitting there. (they applied for the visa in May, t... read complete review

I just returned from the consulate.
Approved! Phew...
First of all, if the letter says 1:30, be there at 1:30. There is no point being there earlier and especially going up to ask for entry in the consulate before 1:30. Wait. Someone from the consulate will come and invite everyone in. Immigration visas first, non-immigrants after.
Second, please, for your own good, DO NOT BRING YOUR PHONE OR LAPTOP or any other electronic devices with you. YOU WILL BE DELAYED AND POSSIBLY DENIED ENTRY! Leave them at home, at the office, or with a friend outside.
After you get in through security you head to window 5 to get fingerprinted and hand over your documents (original and copies of birth certificate, police certificate from The Netherlands and any other country you have lived in before, and I134 and supporting documents - they prefer tax transcript or tax return copy).
After this you sit and wait. I was third in line, so not a ... read complete review

Review written by my fiancee (Wesley)
Last week, the 10th of September I had my medical appointment at 10.30. This all went very smooth. When I came in a very friendly woman sat down with me and went through the things I brought. I had to fill in some forms and gave her my vaccination report. She asked for 4 passport style photographs, but my invitation said I only needed 2 and that, that was all I had with me. She said they just changed that requirement. So from now on you will need 4 photos for your medical. This did not lead to any problems though.
Then I had to wait for the doctor. After a minute or 10 he got me and we went over the forms I filled in. After that he took blood, listened to my lungs, heart, checked my spleen and my liver. After that he measured my height, got an eye test and took my temperature. As last he gave me the vaccinations I needed and I went back to the lady at the front desk to pay for the medical in cash.
Then I needed ... read complete review
