My appointment was scheduled at 7.30 in Frankfurton February 16th. I got there at at 7 am. A funny, typical American guy was talking to us and asked us whether we had any electronic devices with us. At 7.15 they opened the reception where I got a service ticket (the number was W 600). It took about 10 minutes to get that ticket and the guy at the reception was talking German with me. I just had to show him my passport (not even my invitation letter). Then I went through the security check which took another 10 minutes. Those people working there were talking German too. After that I had to go to another building where I sat down and waited. You sit in a big hall with chairs for up to 300 people. They have a little cafeteria, a vending machine for stamps, a photo-box and copy machines. At 7.45 they called my number and i had to give that lady at the counter my passport, the service number, the payment slip and 1 photo (American size). She talked German as well. At about 8.15 my number w... read complete review

US Consulate interview was generally painless and fast. Recommend getting there at least 30 min ahead of time. I waited 20 min to get in after getting a number, 10 minutes for my 1st window (document check and instructions where to go for my medical). Then another 20 min wait to get to the window # 2 and another 20 min before the actual interview. In comparison, the interview was rather short-10 min.
The 3 documents they were interested in: police record in German, affidavit of support and, in our case, the K-1 beneficiary\'s divorce decree in German. They didn\'t take translated versions although their website says all foreign documents should be translated so it was an unnecessary expense...grrr! They didn\'t care about the evidence of an ongoing relationship, I was told we had a strong case.
Questions asked: When did we meet and what did we do during the 5 months we lived together in Germany? He also asked if I\'m planning to work in my profession in ... read complete review

The process for my K1 visa at the consulate in Frankfurt was fast & uncomplicated.
I had to wait for 2 weeks for receipt of my visa / passport after it had been approved because they had not printed it out.
But overall I was quite satisfied with their work.

Smooth process, try to get there early to be abel to park at the curbside right in front of the gate, be ahead of any queues and just do not try to bring in any electronics.
As our papers had been submitted to NVC completely copies were not required at all but I guess it can't hurt to have them available.
Actual interview was no longer than about 5minutes, chatting about where & how we met, when relocation is planned and what I plan to do once in the US.
Don't sweat it!

They were fast, not complicated, and polite.
We did need to send money to them, and were
not allowed to pay a fee with cash, EZ card,
or credit card. We had to go to a bank, that
same day, and transfer money to their account.
