Well I had my interview in the amsterdam consulate the 20th of may. In general everything went well. the first thing I would like to point out though, read their website about entry of the embassy. I was dumb and didn't do that throughly and this cost me a lot of time, besides being treated like a terrorist lol
They ask you not to bring any electronics, be wise and don't. I made the mistake of carrying my laptop, phone, mp3 player, etc... This immediatly set me back 1,5 hour and completely back in line. They will ask you to take apart your equipment and leave your stuff with the guards. I arrived pretty much first but was dealt with the latest. So...respect their wishes...it'll help you a lot.
For the rest it went very well. Be prepared to take your time with it since there's pretty much just 1 person working through the papers and then the interview with the consul.
If your papers are in order like they asked and you have them with you in a... read complete review

Was easy. Got there early. There was a line. I was the first to go in. Went through security check. Then stood in front of a counter for 5 minutes and they were very nice and helpful. I had one wrong paper but did the rest of the interview. I went home. Got my paper I needed and mailed it to them. My visa was approved and I got my passport in the mail.

The wait was long since the consul had an unexpected matter to handle. Finally it went very smooth. The very friendly consul looked at the files, asked where we met (in France), we continued talking in French about France for a while. No other questions. The oath and then he congratulate me.

Hello,
I went with my American fiance to the interview (we both are currently working and living together in Amsterdam). It was very easy, but they make it look so much scarier for those who still need to get it done!
I was pretty nervous, but knew there shouldnt be any issues, as we had all the necessary documents and been together long enough (4,5 years) not to freak about simple questions
Anyways, showed up at the embassy, had a chatty security guy take away our cell phones and any other digital devices (they made one couple leave the line because the battery of the mobile phone got stuck and wouldnt come out; however, they were allowed in the line once they resolved the issue).
My fiance was next me all the way, including our 1,5 hour wait in the line to submit our documents. We were able to hear and see what other people were supposed to provide and what they were talking about.
A very ... read complete review

My fiance had his interview on Oct 1st, and I was lucky enough to be able to arrange to be there for it as well.
We arrived about 15 minutes early, and got in the one line that seemed to be forming. About 5 minutes before the 1:30pm appt time, they announced that for immigrant visas there was a separate line. We were let in before the other line. Even though the K1 is technically a non-immigrant visa, we were supposed to be in the immigrant line. They did a security check (had to leave umbrella outside, didn't bring cell phones to avoid issues with that), then we were admitted and told (I swear I heard him right) to window number 7. It was closed, we waited for a while, there was another couple in line before us already being helped at window #5. After a while, a woman opened the shade and told us for fiance visas we were supposed to be at #5. Not that it mattered, as there had been a couple being helped at that window anyway. So we went to number 5, and were help... read complete review
