Is anyone else scheduled for an interview on Jan 2nd in Frankfurt (Germany)? People who have had a similar experience recently (in 2023/22) are also welcome.

Hello, everyone!

 

I'm hopeful that someone can share their interview experience in Frankfurt, Germany. Mine is scheduled for Jan 2nd, and I have a few questions before the interview:

 

1. Where are applicants supposed to store their devices since we're not allowed to bring them in? Does FRA Consulate have any facilities on the grounds where I could lock my phone for a fee? My best idea so far is to inquire about this service at the hotel reception desk, but there's no guarantee I'll see my phone again.

 

2. This one is for those of you who have already been granted a visa: how quick is the delivery? Let's say the interview is on Tue 2nd, will the passport be in my home mailbox on Thursday evening, Friday morning, or should I not have any hopes for another 2 weeks since the date of the interview? Delivery is Premiun UPS from Frankfurt to Berlin.

 

3. Originals of the documents. Since my hubby is traveling from the US to me in several days, I am thinking of all the possible documents I might be asked to provide during the interview. Since my mother and father-in-law co-petitioned for me together with my husband, they uploaded their marriage certificates as proof they're related, and their house deed as proof of their domicile. I personally feel deeply uncomfortable asking them to provide me with these documents and send them with my husband overseas. And I honestly don't think anyone will ask for them, or am I wrong?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

K.D.
