Andy & Steph	Germany	Texas	No	Frankfurt, Germany	2019-10-25	2019-10-31	2020-01-15		2020-01-16	2020-01-23	2020-01-28	2020-02-26	2020-04-01	2020-04-01	2020-07-18	2004-08-07	159*	My original interview was scheduled for March 16th and was canceled 2 days prior to the appointment due to the ongoing coronavirus situation. I reschedule the interview for the next available date, which was April 6th. At the same time I contacted the consulate and requested an emergency appointment due to our specific situation, which was granted for March 19th. Unfortunately, that appointment was also canceled the day prior to the interview. Early last week the April 6th appointment was also canceled and no further appointments are currently available online. Last Thursday night I received an email from the consulate that they were granting an emergency interview for today, April 1st. We were 1 of 4 interviews for today (all of us CR/IR-1s I believe). We received our visas in our passports on the spot (took about 2.5 hours of waiting due to final clearance checks). The interviewing officer mentioned that they were keeping track of our case and apologized that they had to cancel the first emergency appointment. So they are aware of peopleâ€™s individual situations! With that being said, if you are in a situation where you need to travel asap, you can try to reach out to the consulate in an email and explain your case. Frankfurt is operating at extremely reduced capacity (no lines out front, no one inside the consulate). If you can wait a few more weeks, Iâ€™d suggest to do so but if youâ€™re in a real bind you can give it a try and reach out to them.	2024-01-03

The agent put us in a waiting room so another agent could verify the visa. The verification process took all but 5 minutes. They put a stamp in the passport with the visa type (CR-1) and the date of entry. That was it! They didn't ask us any questions, they didn't ask to provide the receipt of payment for the entry fee. We had all of that paperwork just in case, but we didn't need it. Out port of entry was Dallas, Texas.	2023-06-28
