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.

After all the messages I've read and preparing for the interview, the experience itself was very good. Had the appointment at 9, so was there at 8.45 and already 4 people in line before me. Had to wait a while to go to the 1st window to give my fingerprints and provide the original birth certificate, police certificate etc., all document were fine so could go back and wait for the actual interview with the consul. Like I already read, its a bit awkward as you can hear all the interviews, so little privacy there. The first guy was interviewing for a long time, as he seemed to have quite a complicated story. The 3 people after that were pretty smooth, just like my case. Questions were: 1. How did you meet your spouse, 2. How did our relationship develop, 3. Where did you get married, 4. Where is your spouse from and 5. Why do we want to move to the US (as we currently live together). Interview went fine and no further questions, only thing is I got a refusal because the medical is sch... read complete review
