Are there any one out here who is not a Dutch citizen but a long term resident and applied for K-1 visa? I would love to hear your experience with obtaining the K-1 visa. My fiance and I are about to start with the paper work and I have been living amsterdam for the last 10 years ( on and off ) and am not a Dutch citizen yet but have permenant residency papers.
Any help would be appreciated

After the thorough security check I continued to the reception where they once again checked my bag and passport. I was then told to go wait in line for counter number 5, where I waited for quite a while. I talked to a few of the other people there and it seemed like the majority was going to move to California as well.
When I got called to the counter the guy (he spoke Dutch!) checked my passport and took my fingerprints. He then went through the checklist (passport, photos, birth certificate, forms, evidence, stamps etc), and was very impressed that it all was complete and in duplicate. He put everything in a binder and gave me a big brown envelope which contained my x-ray and vaccination records. He explained that I would have to keep it with me on the plane along with all the other paperwork and evidence. He then told me to go to the waiting area until my name would be called.
After 10 minutes or so my name was called, and I was greeted by an American ... read complete review

The interview itself was painless. Preparing everything and picking up the visa was painful.
Preparing documents was tedious because I've lived in the UK and Hong Kong as well, and I had to apply for certificates of no criminal records from countries. This was straigtforward for the UK (although expensive) and almost impossible for Hong Kong because a) it required me to get official fingerprinting done in Holland, which would normally be impossible but luckily a local police station did it for me (and I had to go back again because HK complained my fingerprints were not in English...) and b) the US Consulate provided me with outdated information rendering my application to be delayed.
This resulted in me missing the 1 document from HK for my scheduled interview at the Consulate, yet when I called to state that they couldn't possibly have received the HK police record yet, I was still told to come for the interview.
And yes, as I had pred... read complete review

The security was intimidating. They were friendly however. Martijn was first in line and still had a pretty long wait in -7 degree celcius weather. The consular officer did not ask any questions about us other than my records. I mistakenly took the uittreksel uit de bevolkingsadministratie and they need a geboorteakte, so I am going tomorrow to get that. They gave me two options: I can take it back to them or I can mail it. They instructed me to call when I have the geboorteakte and then they will tell me how to get it to them. I also have to send my passport with it because they gave that back to me today.
