Hard to believe it is already 2 weeks ago that we were there.
Things go really fast after you are approved.
Anyway, it was a good experience for us, we picked up my fiancé from the airport, took the train to Amsterdam Zuid, got on tramline 5 and after a little walk around, we were way too early, and got in line.
As it turned out, we were first for the immigration visa's, which saves a lot of waiting.
My fiancé was allowed in some time after us, since they had to check his suitcase and laptop. We had to place to leave those somewhere behind since we were by train.
In the meantime I got to hand over my papers to the lady behind the window.
There was a bit of confusion over one of my papers, which looked like a copy, but wasn't.
I got a compliment on the way the letter of consent from my ex for my son was set up. He is going with me on a K2.
What I did was make a letter myself and take that to a notary, they provided us with one no... read complete review

Im approved !! WOOHOOOO
It was a very nice appointment.
The lady that helped me was very friendly, and helpful.
The consul was a great, kind and happy person.
I had a very pleasurable experience.
Thank you Consulate if you read this !
The lady collected the forms, and made me feel like everything was already approved.
The consul asked me to swear i filled it all out truthfully, and while looking through the package to assure completion,
he asked me how we met, where she lives, if i like it there, what she does for a living.
It felt like he was really interested, and it seemed to be more as a way to kill the silence while he verified completion,
than that he was trying to set me up, to find reasons to deny it or something.
So everyone : dont believe the ghoststories. If your situation is a legit relationship, and you ha... read complete review

I went through the DCF process with my Dutch wife last fall and just wanted to say what a fast and smooth process it was. The embassy in Amsterdam is very helpful - I highly reccomend you call them with any questions you might have anytime during the process. I had been living in NL for almost five years. That entire time I was dealing with the IND, trying to get a residence permit, and was never succesful in that. I was worried this would cause a problem regarding DCF filing, but the people at the embassy assured me that as long as I had some kind of paper from the Dutch immigration dept saying that I was going through the process, then they'd accept my DCF paperwork, which they did. My wife and I have now been living happily and legally in the US for about five months now.

Are there any one out here who is not a Dutch citizen but a long term resident and applied for K-1 visa? I would love to hear your experience with obtaining the K-1 visa. My fiance and I are about to start with the paper work and I have been living amsterdam for the last 10 years ( on and off ) and am not a Dutch citizen yet but have permenant residency papers.
Any help would be appreciated

After the thorough security check I continued to the reception where they once again checked my bag and passport. I was then told to go wait in line for counter number 5, where I waited for quite a while. I talked to a few of the other people there and it seemed like the majority was going to move to California as well.
When I got called to the counter the guy (he spoke Dutch!) checked my passport and took my fingerprints. He then went through the checklist (passport, photos, birth certificate, forms, evidence, stamps etc), and was very impressed that it all was complete and in duplicate. He put everything in a binder and gave me a big brown envelope which contained my x-ray and vaccination records. He explained that I would have to keep it with me on the plane along with all the other paperwork and evidence. He then told me to go to the waiting area until my name would be called.
After 10 minutes or so my name was called, and I was greeted by an American ... read complete review
