I'm grateful for your support and happy for your acceptance! YOU'RE FREEEEEEEE! I(A, the american. Very type A, too..) did start planning everything when the CEAC said "case ready". I had some stuff prepared beforehand too because I am that antsy.  

We never actually got a welcome letter from the embassy...we did get a letter asking us to make an interview though and that was a mistake on their part. Our stuff is all over the place as a result.

This is not true. You need to provide intent to marry. It does not necessarily need to be a typed and signed letter. The wording is tricky. 

Of course! Congratulations on the engagement and filing. This whole process is giving L(Dutch Fiance) and I(American fiancee) the runaround. Outside of the I-129F. That went fine. He's having the hardest time getting his vaccination record to the doctor. He had had his interview and passed. 

THE INTERVIEW W/O MEDICAL RECEIVED YET
It's just one window so you get to tell your story in front of everyone else but it was extremely no pressure. The interviewer was warm and sparkly. Interested in him and me and how we met. When we last saw each other. She joked around with him. L says he went in expecting a tense hospital atmosphere but instead it felt like a normal doctor appointment waiting room. Everyone was talking about what they were there for and how it was going.

He passed...but with the condition we have to wait until the doctor exam results get to the consulate. His appointment is June 14th.

WHAT THE AMS CONSULATE TOLD US ABOUT WHAT TO DO NEXT
They send L instructions for how to courier his passport to them.
Then he couriers it. He is not allowed to just drive up to Amsterdam and hand it to them, himself or mail it. He asked. They said we HAD to use the courier service.
We wait until they figure out how to stamp a passport. This can take 2-4 days, it looks like. Possibly as much as 30-60 based on their websites current "Administrative processing" timeline.
and then they have to courier the passport back to him...
and then. Only THEN. Do we get to finally book the flight that brings him to me. 

Right now we have been held up two weeks, waiting on the government to release L's vaccination record to the doctor for his June 14th appointment. Looking like a July entry date at the soonest.

I have been absolutely shafted at every turn of this visa after the Form I-129F acceptance and had to be the squeaky wheel at the NVC and the Consulate to make sure things were moving and get status updates. At one point they misplaced our petition. At another time they just held it back to include in the next shipment and blamed it on the consulate while the consulate blamed the NVC. At another point it was lost in transit. Sometimes, when phone calling these agencies, I got apathetic lowlives with little information to give other than "Wait for the letter" or "Wait for the email".

...We also received our emails out of order and only received P3 because we had somehow managed to make an interview appointment first by getting P4. 

Anyway, we worked it out because sometimes I got really warm and helpful people who let me know about the process and what's going on behind the scenes..so if you have ANY questions at all, don't be afraid to hit me up.  Our situation with P3 and P4 is a weird one and shouldn't happen to you..but we were told it's completely normal right now to do the interview first and get the medical after due to backlogs.

Forgot to mention. This email no longer links to the K1 Visa doctor. They changed which doctor does which doctor appointments. He does CR1's now only, it looks like.
