I had my interview on July 31st in Amsterdam.
I had to show my passport through the window and my appointment confirmation. Once I showed that, the lady opened the door for me and asked for my phone or any other electronic devices.. I just gave her my cellphone she checked if my bluetooth was on or not. Bluetooth is not supposed to be on!! She let me inside, I went through the metal detector.
Once inside I had to go to a desk, she took my passport and picture and told me to go to desk 2. At desk two the lady took all my original and copies of my documents, took my fingerprints and told me to take a seat, the consul him self would call me for the actual interview.
I sat down for almost 3hours!! People who came in after me, had already left the building with their approval!
Since it's all out in the open, you can hear every conversation, I could hear some of the interviews. The consul himself was asking a lot of questions, every interview took about 20-30min! So I was preparing myself for those questions..
But I got called by someone else, it wasn't the consul. My interview itself took about 5 minutes. 
Questions asked:
Do you have pictures
How long have you 2 been together
Which language do you speak with each other
Where he comes from
How did you meet
That's it! The questioning took about 5min, the paperwork took a bit more time.. she double checked if I had everything. When she was done. She told me she approved my Visa. Congratulated me and wished me luck.
The lady was very nice. I actually had a small talk with her while she was filing the paperwork.
Just in case you do get questioned by the consul himself, make sure you are confident and know everything about your partner. He asks tricky questions.
Eventhough you don't know who is going to question you, but still it's good to know what to expect 
On this website it says you will have your passport send home in 3-5 days.. its NOT anymore. At least not around this time of the year, they told me it would take up to 10 days!! Because they're so jammed. I am still waiting for my Visa/passport.. :/
(Also, make sure you have an appointment with the doctor first. And double check with your GGD if you need any vaccines (you may have had them but if its expired you'll need new ones))
Goodluck and relax, you got this!

POE Review: JFK

I came from Amsterdam to JFK with WOW air (never book that airline, worst airline ever!!!!).
We landed around 11pm at JFK, by the time I got in line for customs it was around 11.30pm. It was quiet packed. It was my first time in JFK. So I wasnt sure if this was considered packed or normal. I was in line for the "NON-Citizen" line. Since the other side was shorter we got directed to the other side of the terminal. While I was waiting I asked a lady who worked there if it was the right lane, and showed her my packet. She directed me back to the line I came from. She told me to cut the line and i was third in line. I waited almost 15 minutes.
When it was finally my turn, I gave him my packet, passport and the form I filled out on the plane. He asked me:
-How long have you been together,
-Do you know anyone in the US,
-Where I was born.
While he was asking me these questions he opened the packet, stamped it.
He then told me to put my right hand on the scanner for the fingerprints, I had to look into the camera for a picture.
When I was done, he told I had to go to Immigration. I asked him where that was, he said no worries, someone will pick you up.
He was a nice guy, all of this took less than 5 minutes!
He pushed a button and the red light turned on, a lady came and walked me to the Immigration office, she gave the guy sitting behind this huge high desk, my packet and passport. She told me to take a seat, since I was texting my fiance she told me no cellphones were aloud there.
It took less than 10 min when the guy called my name and said, "You have 90 days to get married, Congrats!
I checked which carrousel my lugguage was coming in, I waited almost another 10-15 minutes for my lugguage.
I am very happy everything went very smooth and easy! And very fast!

*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.
