Hi....just a question for those who might have experience with this;

Tommorrow i have my interview, and besides i`m already getting quite nervous,

i`m running through everything to make sure i have everything complete and in order.

I just visited the website of the US consulate (in Amsterdam) and it says that to your

interview you should take with you a self adressed, signed and with 5,75 euro`s stamped

envelope with you.

I never found this in any forms that i got from the consulate and it also doesn`t say anything

about it in my so called checklist from what stuff to bring???

Don`t know what to do now....

Anyone know about this??

(it also says you`re not allowed to bring a backpack, camera or cellphone?!...only on the site as well) :(

Yes, you're not allowed to bring in cellphones or cameras and probably no bags either. If you have any of these items with you the guard will take it from you and return it to you when you leave, so if you need a cellphone it's ok to have it just keep in mind you won't be able to use it while you're in the embassy.

When I went for my interview they asked me to write my address on an envelope so they can use it later to mail me the visa (they don't give approvals/denials the same day in that embassy and they mail you the results a week later), it's good they ask you to write your address by yourself because this way they ensure they have the correct address and it'll be deliverable in the mail. However, I was never asked to bring the envelope with me, they had it there already and I paid for delivery later when it was delivered to me. If I were you I would bring a ready evelope with me just in case, since your embassy website mentions it.

Sounds like it would be easy to take care of. Maybe for visa delivery afterwards. Usually they charge you for private courier delivery.

I finally got rid of the never ending money drain. I called the plumber, and got the problem fixed. I wish her the best.

You can take a bag with you... you just can't take it inside the consulate. You might want to get a folder, or document holder to keep all your papers in.

Good luck on your interveiw! :thumbs:
