I have to agree with all the other reviews on Frankfurt:
Everybody was super friendly, including the security guards at the entrance.
My appointment was scheduled for 9:30am. As I was a little nervous, I got to the consulate super early (8:45am) and there were already about 15 people waiting in the "non-immigrant visa" line. Luckily I was here for my K-1 visa so I could skip that whole line and wait in the "all others" line. And in that line only 2 people were in front of me. After being called to window 2, I handed over my passport and the girl inside put a sticker on the back of it. She told me to enter the building next to her to go through security. 5 minutes later I had already cleared security and followed the path towards the big building.
Inside, I went to the little information desk and handed over my DS-160 confirmation page. The guy there gave me a sheet of paper detailing the whole process I was about to go through and directed me to go ... read complete review

The interview at the consulate went pretty well and pretty fast. Everyone was really nice. Make sure you read the interactions on what to bring and what not. After entering the Consulate Hall I was directed to window 22. However, since I was waiting in line for the person to come back I was already called to a different window by a woman who recognized me from the picture. She told me it was not necessary really to go to window 22, as all the fees have been paid already. After she explained the envelopes to me and took my fingerprints, she gave me back my submitted originals and took my passport. From there I had to wait a little until I was called for my "Interview". The guy was really nice and we were really just chatting. Since my medical was not received yet, he explained to me that he cannot approve my visa quite yet, but once the medical documents are received, everything will go automatically and I will receive my visa in about a week via mail!
Soooo.. no worries... read complete review

I took all documents that we had accumulated during the process (copies) to the interview. Arrived 20min earlier to the embassy and it took me approx. 35-45 minutes to get interviewed by the vice-counsel, this was not a problem at all. He made some questions about how we met, how often we have seen us, wedding plans etc.. In total it was a very friendly interview. I have to say that I was expecting something different and was very positively surprised by the nice and friendly stuff and the smooth process during the interview date.

After going through security I had to hand in my passport, then wait a few minutes to be called to a second window where a friendly lady made sure that all my documents were in order and gave me information about the visa process. After a few more minutes of waiting, I had the interview with a third person.
My interview was short and pleasant. It included a few simple questions such as my fiance's occupation.
Everyone was very friendly, patient, and welcoming.
Tips:
- To speed up the process, bring the fee payment confirmation printout with you (the one with the barcode)
- If you can, have the medical at least two weeks in advance. You will only be issued the visa after the results are ready and have arrived at the consulate.
- There is no need to bring your X-ray, in fact if it's on a CD you will not be allowed to take it past security

Interview was very relaxed and lasted about 5 minutes. Questions of how we met, and why we intended to move to the USA. Friendly consulate staff, and the building is roomy and light, much nicer than typical government buildings.
