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 officer. He took another fingerprint, and proceeded to take his time to browse through all the paperwork. While he was concentrating on the forms, I glanced over and I could already see a big red “Approved” stamp on the file, so instantly the nervousness was gone. He then asked me three simple questions: “Who is petitioning for you?”, “Where does he live?” and “What does he do?”. After answering those questions I had to take an oath stating all the provided information was truthful, and I signed the remaining form. He then told me he would keep my passport and that they would put a visa in it and mail it to me, and that was it!
