I walked to the consulate and joined the line, some guard yelled that the people coming for the immigrant visas (vs the non-immigrant visas) had to go and stand in front of the line.
So I ended up standing in front of the line and I went into the building first.
I didn't bring anything but my files so I went through security went pretty fast. (no phones or other electronic devices!) The immigrant visa people had to go to a different room then the one I went to last time when I came for my B-2. (I got denied for a B-2 before)
But it was very similar, a small room with 5 counters with people behind windows. I was called to window number 5 and there was a very nice Dutch speaking man, asking me for my birth certificate, police records and proof of support. I was very organized and he was very impressed and happy about that.
I had to sit down again, talked to some other girls going for the K-1 visa that were sitting there. (they applied for the visa in May, that means they only had to wait 3 months for their interview, I had to wait 10 months!!!). Then I was called to the second window, I had to put my hand in the air and swear I was speaking the truth. But the guy doing the interview was a very jolly and happy man. He asked me these questions:
What is your fiancés name?
How did you meet?
When did things become serious?
When did you get engaged?
Where does he live?
Did you meet his parents?
Did he meet your parents?
Are you parents coming to the wedding?
Did you ever live abroad?
Did you ever get in trouble with the police?
You got denied a B-2 visa, why was this?
Then he turned off his microphone and talked to a lady standing next to him for a bit, he turned it back on and said. "everything looks in order" "I am going to grand you the visa, it will be sent to you in 4 to 5 working days"
I would have given this experience a 5. But then they sent me my passport and files by courier and it ended up in normal mail and it got lost! I was really scared it was lost, but ended up getting it on friday (by normal mail!). VERY scary experience! And I've been told this actually happens a lot. They should really try to find a different courier as postNL!
