Yes, this is normal at Frankfurt. They will send your passport back with the visa foil in it, along with the brown envelope you will have to carry to your US Port of Entry and hand in.

Stephen's interview was May 13th. There was a delay in his medical reaching the Frankfurt embassy, however, we received his passport with visa foil and the brown envelope 10 days later in the mail (registered). So if your medical was there already, you will wait less time to get it back, barring there aren't any other problems.

Hope this helps!

This is also the procedure in Rio, Brazil. They send the passport with the visa and the brown envelope through a courier service they have at the embassy.
