I arrived at 9:00 for a 9:30 appointment, and was told by security to return in 15 minutes. At 9:15, I was let in and went through security. Just like at an airport, I had to take my shoes off.
I was told to sit and wait to be called to the first window, which took about 10 minutes.
When they called me up, they asked for my birth certificate, police certificate, marriage certificate, financial documents (I gave the affidavit of support and tax return my wife submitted to the NVC), DS-260 confirmation page, courier registration, my passport and 2 passport pictures. She looked over the papers, scanned some stuff and put them in a folder. When she was done with my paperwork, she took my fingerprints. After this, she then told me to take a seat and wait for my name to be called.
About 45-50 minutes later, I was called up to the second window where I had to take an oath stating that all I submitted and everything I will answer is the truth.
After which, t... read complete review

The consulate is very easy to reach in Amsterdam by car. There is ample parking space (paid) and close to major tourist attractions. After entering you'll go through security. The guards are very relaxed and are really kind. I felt zero stress whatsoever.
After security you'll be asked to take place in a room with four windows. There were four other visa applicants in my timeslot. It's first come first serve in your timeslot. The person at window one asks you for the required documents, such as DS160, passport pictures, police records and birth certificate. You're then instructed to take your fingerprints. All of this went extremely smooth and was done for everyone in minutes. After a few minutes people are being called to window 3 where the actual interview will take place. The consular officer was extremely kind and nice. The benefit (and perhaps also a con) of having multiple applicants in the same room is that you can hear other people's story. The CO was extremely k... read complete review

My appointment was at 8:30, but I arrived at 8:10. I was allowed to immediately go inside.
People at the security were real friendly. Had to put my stuff in a little bin which went through a security scan, and I had to walk through a metal detector. No issues here, you are allowed to take your phone inside, you just need to turn the Bluetooth off. Security was real patient explaining I had to actually go to my main settings on an Apple iPhone or Bluetooth wouldn't truly be off.
Then I had to wait for a bit, at 8:25 I got called up to the first window.
They scanned my passport, took my fingerprints and gathered documents like birth certificate, marriage certificate and police certificate. Strange thing here was that the state.gov website states you need to bring your original, a photocopy of the original and a translated version of your birth certificate and marriage certificate, however they only wanted my translated versions. I had originally upl... read complete review

"It was alright, short interview, 5-10 minutes, that was it."
They seem to go off of the packet that you have already sent, and they are mostly concerned about the Affidavit of Support, evidence of that support and verifying the identity of your significant other.

The appointment was at 9am. I came at 8:45.
After the metal detector check (like a basic airport), I was sent to the other room.
I was asked for my documents and then waited to go to another window.
I swore that everything I said was true.
Questions:
- Where did you meet your wife?
- What are you going to do in America?
I am now waiting for the medical results to be sent to the Consulate as my visit was scheduled the same day in the afternoon.
I was out at 9:25.
