Please beware, this is a very detailed account!
I was lucky enough to have my fiance join me at my interview on February 10th 2011. We arrived a little early and were told to wait outside the gate until the appointment time of 2.30pm. About 5 other people also had an appointment at that time, but no K1s.
First they checked our bags and were told to turn off and take the battery out of any electronic devices (I'd already heard about this and we didn't bring any - a little warning, if you have an iPhone or the like, try to leave it at home, because the woman behind us couldn't work out how to take the battery out and they made quite a fuss about it, although she was let in, no problem.) Then we were let into the embassy one by one, where another man checked our bags and had us walk through a metal detector. He then told us to queue for window number 5.
After waiting about half an hour it was our turn. A very friendly young woman asked me for... read complete review

We had our K-1 appointment on the 22nd of March 2010. My USC fiance arrived that day from the States and we basically went straight from the airport to my dorm room to the consulate to my parents, to stay there for a week. So each one of us had a bag because we were traveling with public transport.
We got there 30 minutes before the consulate opened and we were first in line. When they opened, the guard told us that we could not enter with our bags. (Note that our bags were the size of a small carry-on.) They send us to the back of the line. We tried to explain the situation, but they would not let us in. We waited for half an hour and by then everybody in front of us was already in the building. We were still waiting. The guards were incredibly and condescending. My husband asked to talk to somebody in charge to explain the situation once again. They again told us to wait. Another 30 minutes went by and I was getting worried over missing our appointment. So I went in a... read complete review

Left my house in The Hague quite early for Amsterdam, because of all the terrible blizzard predictions. There were absolutely no problems though. Stood outside the Consulate waiting for about 45 minutes before I could go in and most of that time I was the only one there. The fact that it was a torrential down poor might have had something to do with that though. 
A little bit before my 13:30 appointment the security guard let me in. The other people there were for non-immigrant visas and had to wait a little longer. I went through the initial security check rather quickly, only to be stuck at the metal detector, which kept going off for no apparent reason. Finally got into the Consulate and was directed towards the immigrant visa waiting area. Behind the glass window a nice young woman collected all my papers (first passport & birth certificate, then the other stuff like the financial papers and proof and finally my postage). She didn't ask for any pro... read complete review

Besides standing in the freezing cold and a foot of snow, the process of going to the consulate and getting the interview went by pretty quickly.
They were a lot nicer to me this time than they were the first time I got an interview for a visa.
The lady was very nice and asked me only a few question ("how did you meet?" "where do you live now?" "who is his employer?" etc). After that they made me wait for maybe 20 minutes, they called me back to the window and told me I was approved and that I would get my visa in the mail in 5-10 business days (got it within a week).

I went to my interview on a very cold december morning, it was freezing! and we couldnt go inside the Consulate until the time of the interview. There were around 25 people waiting for different procedures, only 3 of us were there for the K-1 visa.
Before going inside they ask you to leave your celphone and laptops at a check point outside the building. Once inside you will have first to show your documents and one they see you have all that you need (filled out forms, financial statements, proof of relationship) they will ask you to wait to be called to the interview.
The Interview took about 4 minutes, the questions they asked me were: How did you meet your Fiancee? When was the last time you traveled to the US? How many times has he visited you? What does he do for a living? nothing more than that.
**** The girl who was before me did not her the visa approved, because she did not have enough papers to show that her Finacee had the financial means to take... read complete review
