What a long & unnecessary process. Being apart makes it all the more hard, but to those reading this, stick in there. Each moment that goes by is another moment closer to where you want to be. |

Kasper said that they did not give him too hard of a time. Just that they made him wait and took their sweet time filling out papers, getting up to do something, coming back sitting down, talking to someone else, getting back to the papers. Lol. |

On the interview date we were told that they could not give us an answer that day. But to check for updates on the site. That evening we checked and the site had already said that his green card was ordered for production. YAY!!! A week later, he received the "Welcome to the US" letter, about a week after that, he got his green card in. |

| Embassy Review : |
Well I had my interview in the amsterdam consulate the 20th of may. In general everything went well. the first thing I would like to point out though, read their website about entry of the embassy. I was dumb and didn't do that throughly and this cost me a lot of time, besides being treated like a terrorist lol
They ask you not to bring any electronics, be wise and don't. I made the mistake of carrying my laptop, phone, mp3 player, etc... This immediatly set me back 1,5 hour and completely back in line. They will ask you to take apart your equipment and leave your stuff with the guards. I arrived pretty much first but was dealt with the latest. So...respect their wishes...it'll help you a lot.
For the rest it went very well. Be prepared to take your time with it since there's pretty much just 1 person working through the papers and then the interview with the consul.
If your papers are in order like they asked and you have them with you in an organized manner, the entire matter doesn't take longer then 20 minutes in total. It's just the wait in the meantime that prolongs your stay there.
They are friendly if you go with the flow. They become a little more impatient if inconsistancies arise and they have to explain a lot. Not very strange since everybody needs to be helped that day and there really is just one person dealing with it.
For the rest I don't have references to other embassies but I can't say it was an unpleasent experience.

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.
