Kind of bad news turned into happy news a bit later..
I had my interview August the 12nd and I arrived at the consulate at around 1.05pm for my 1.30pm appointment. Two people were ahead of me and while we were waiting for the gates to open, a lot more people came along.
At around 1.20/25pm the gates were opened and we were told to stand in lines, one for immigration and us citizen services and one for other services. With my nervous head, I initially entered the wrong line and that actually set me back about 4 people in the line (while I could have been first of the immigration line haha).
Anyways, after some waiting it was my turn to give my paperwork to a really nice Dutch consult employee and he told me that I would have to wait for a bit and that I would be called out for my interview when the consult was ready.
While I was waiting, I was talking to some of the other applicants and they asked me if I was nervous, which I ... read complete review

Wow....was I nervous for that??? 
I arrived at 1 and was the2nd for a K1/K3 visa....at 13:20 they opened the gate and let me in after the security. I was 2nd in line, so they wait there was only like 5 min....the friendly man behind the window asked for my appointment letter, postage, fingerprints, passport, I-134, proof of paying the 89 euro's...he gave me back the x-ray, went through the papers real quick, told me it looked fine to him, but that the consul had the last word.
After 45 min I was the first one called to window 6. There was a real nice American (the first was Dutch) man, asked me who petitioned for me, what job he has, how me met, what job I have. Since we met through church, he made some small talk about that. Then made me say: yes I do, to promises that all the info I gave them is correct to the best of my knowledge....fingerprint of left indexfinger again, went through some papers, asked if I had ever been to the State... read complete review

My interview was scheduled at 13:30. I arrived at the consulate just a little past 13:00 and there were some people waiting already. We were let in at around 13:15. First there was the security check and I had to hand in my cell phone. Then on to booth #5 where a friendly gentleman asked for my birthcertificate, passport size photos and postage fee. I was told to sit down in the waiting room and this could be a while as the consul was in a meeting. It took two hours . Then I heard my name being called and I had to go to booth #6. The interview itself took no more than 5 minutes. I was asked several questions like, how and when did I meet my fiance, what's his name, have I visited him in the US, has he visited me in the Netherlands, have I met his family, was either one of us previously married (when I said that my fiance was, they looked up his divorce papers), does either one of us have children (when I said that my fiance has a son, they asked for his age), what ki... read complete review

Everything went very well and actually more quick than I expected. A short line helped the waitingtime. Interview was very easy, just a few questions like, who applied for you and his/her name, what does he do for a living. I was in there for about 40 minutes but the actual interview didn't take much longer than 5 minutes.

They did not even ask for all the nice evidence I prepared haha.
Easy interview. There were definitly some questions that were there to check if we really had a relationship ("so your fiance is half ... and half ...?" -> birth certificate parents). The people were very nice and understanding.
