First of all: Everything went nicely!
The interview was scheduled for 9:30. I was there at 7:50, lined up in the left queue to get a number, then the right queue to get through the security check. After that the standard procedure as it has been described before:
1. Window 22/23 to show a proof of having paid the fee and hand over passport
2. another window to hand over documents
3. being sworn in and the "interview" with two questions: "how did you meet your fiancee" (my answer: work) and "what company was that?"
At 9:30 I left the building :-)
The hotel "Friedberger Warte" is really close, book through ebookers to get a good rate. |

no big deal, everything went nicely and pretty fast.
I got off the plane as on of the first since I had a seat pretty much in the front (try to check in online 24h before if your airline offers that option) and no other plane had arrived before us so the queues were short.
After the first check I was sent to another room where my passport got stamped and the officer welcomed me warmly with the words "you have to get married within 90 days" ;-) They did not ask any questions and all they wanted to see were the documents in the envelope and my passport.
Alltogether it took me about 40 minutes, I even had to wait for my luggage after that. |

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
