Alright, here goes;
I had my interview in Amsterdam yesterday. I will admit, I was very nervous. I had gone to the consulate before to get a student visa years back, and did not remember it as a fun time. At 13.30 the people were asked to come to the gate. The ones with an immigration appointment can go first (IF you do not bring any electronics!!) I had left all electronics at home, and was the first to go in.
The building is currently under construction, which takes away about half of the intimidation factor of this place. Construction workers were walking through the waiting area continuously. Kind of funny, and a good reminder that all this is still real life with real people.
First I had to submit some things at window 5. Passport. Birth-certificate plus copy. Affidavit of support (one from Trevor, and one from our Co-Sponsor.) The lady went through all the supporting evidence and took some papers from that pile. 2 passport photos. Fingerprints. and the 7 Euro Stamp. She gave me back a CD with my X-ray and a copy of my vaccination record and told me to take this with me to the U.S. (This all took about 10 minutes)
Then the lady (who was very friendly) told me to take a seat and wait for my name to be called for the interview.
So I waited. Construction workers were walking in and out. I talked a bit to a girl next to me also there for her K1 visa, and finally my name was called for the interview.
By now my hands were shaking a little from nervousness. And then I met my friendly looking immigration officer. The moment we have all been waiting for for such an incredibly long time. He took finger prints to make sure I was indeed me. He looked through my file, asked some questions to his colleague, and told me he had not been doing these interviews for a while. He took my oath, asked me to sign a paper and then asked me a total of ONE question; "Are you sure you want to go through with this?" - "Yes I am".
That was it. He did not need anything else he said, and told me my passport would be send to me in about 7 days, but probably sooner.
Very relieved I left the building.
Good luck to everyone with "interviews" coming up! If you have followed the VisaJourney guidelines, you will most likely be FINE!

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
