Very friendly guards and officers at this consulate! Strict security measures, but the friendly guards made it all go very smoothly, and even wished everyone good luck with their interview.
Phones are allowed inside the building now, but no larger electronic devices. The guards ask you to show them your phone and make sure the bluetooth is switched off.
I was inside the building for about an hour. I got called to the first window after waiting for 10 minutes, handed over all my paperwork and was told to sit down again. 15 minutes later I was called to another window for the interview. If you have a genuine relationship, you have nothing to worry about. It is just a friendly conversation about how you met, your jobs, the time you spent together, etc. The officer showed me some of the pictures from my file and asked me where they were taken and who were in the pictures. Then she handed all the pictures to me, so I was getting ready to answer a lot more questions abo... read complete review

I was at the consulate for around 1 hour in total. Don't bother showing up earlier than your appointment time because they only start letting people in 10 minutes in advance.
Do not bring laptops or phones or any electronic devices. Even though they say this clearly on the embassy website and on your appointment paper, people still bring them and they are sent back by security.
There are 4 booths/desks and it's all very out in the open -- there isn't much privacy for your interview.
First, they call your name at one of the desks and they ask for all the documents you were required to bring – passport, birth certificate, police records, i-134 and supporting evidence (tax forms, payslips etc) and any needed translations for documents not in English or Dutch. They take your fingerprints. Then they ask you to sit down.
After waiting for a little longer (maybe 15 minutes or so), they call your name again at a different desk. This is the actual interview ... read complete review

Relaxed interview. Do NOT bring a mobile telephone. Everybody that brought one was sent away again. Once inside, people were friendly and calm. Interview was done in about 10 minutes. Papers checked, all done, no problems, and approved

I had my interview late August. Reading all the other posts had been very helpful, so I knew which questions to expect. I think they asked me ALL the questions I have read here, not just 3 or 4. My husband having been an immigrant himself maybe raised suspicion, I don't know. To be honest, having to answer all these questions in an open room, with the other people waiting behind me without privacy, and the lady behind glass, not looking me in the eyes, made me feel a bit uncomfortable. But hey, I had nothing to hide, so just kept on answering everything. And then, as I read in another review before, she suddenly started to type in her computer without asking more questions, and then she said it was approved. That was it.
They tried to deliver the passport 3 days later at my house, but I was away for the weekend, so I picked it up on Monday. That went very smoothly.
Good luck!
