For anyone who needs to visit the American Consulate/Embassy in Frankfurt, right now (March 2007) the hotel Friedberger Warte (a four star hotel across from the Consulate) has a special offer. My husband and I will both be staying there the evening of April 1st (before his visa interview on the 2nd), and we paid only 44 Euros (including all taxes) for the two of us with breakfast using the website www.ebookers.de. We actually found the rate by using www.tripadvisor.com, searching on the hotel, and then doing a rate search. Some sites advertised a rate of over 100 Euros per night, so needless to say we were quite pleased with the rate found on ebookers. Plus, the hotel looks beautiful and has free overground parking.
Anyhow, I'm not sure anyone on VJ is headed there any time soon, but perhaps in the future, they might also have a reasonable rate and it might help someone.
Best wishes!

I finally had my Visa interview yesterday, February 2, 2007. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised and because of my positive experience, I would like to share it with others - perhaps it will ease your mind and give you some hope!
I stayed at the Friedberger Warte hotel ... it is right behind the consulate. I left there at about 6:20 and made it there at bout 6:30 am. When I got there, I was the only one already waiting out there. No one else started arriving until about 6:50am. I wasn't sure where exactly I needed to stand in line but the security officer told me I needed to go right to the window on the side of the consulate's entrance (to the left). So I went and stood there.
At about 7:25, a security officer gave a short briefing about what can be taken in the building and what not. He also explained the procedure of entering the building. Once he was finished, the little window openend where you get your ticket. Let me forewarn you, if you go to... read complete review

Granted, we have a rather unusual situation in the fact that we currently live together in China and were processed through the Guangzhou consulate, even though my fiancee is German.
In general, they processed our case quickly. Much faster than for a Chinese person. So, we have no complaints about waiting periods. There were no major mishaps by the consulate, and we ultimately got the visa.
The only complaints that we have revolve around the consulate being disorganized.
1.) The people from the consulate that we had contact with spoke very broken english (aside from the visa officer), and they didn't fully understand our responses. I know this is China, but we were dealing with employees of the US consulate, right? When we went for the interview, the guard manning the door couldn't read english and he had trouble figuring out what country my fiancee is from.
2.) About a week before our interview, we received a call from someone at t... read complete review

Ich hatte gestern, 06.12.2006 um 9 Uhr mein Inteview in Frankfurt gehabt.
Die Woche davor war ich schon so nervoes, dass ich TAEGLICH die Unterlagen durchgegangen bin um sicherzugehen, dass ich alles hatte.
Ich habe das Glueck, dass ich nur 1 1/2 Std. Fahrt von Frankfurt entfernt wohne. Aber selbst fahren konnte ich nicht, da ich wie gesagt zu nervoes war und die ganze Nacht nicht geschlafen hatte. So hat mich mein Onkel hingefahren.
Dort angekommen war es erst 8.00 Uhr und ich habe mich auf den Weg zum Schalter begeben. Auf dem Weg dorthin hat mich ein Agent abgefangen und gefragt zu welchem Anlass ich hier bin (Touristen-Visum oder sonstiges).
Nachdem ich gesagt hatte, dass ich wegen dem K1-Visum und dem Interview hier bin hat er mich nach der Einladung aus dem Package 4 gefragt. Als ich ihm das gezeigt hatte, verwies er mich an den Mann am Schalter. Dort musste ich meinen Pass vorlegen und erhielt dann eine Nummer.
Weiter dem Pfad gefolgt fragte ... read complete review

Hi there,my interview was a while back, but I think it'll still help some K1 visa applicants what I am writing here.
I got my interview date actually sooner than I was supposed to...I kept on bugging them, dropped off my packeage 4,I believe, personally at the consulate, wrote them a letter requesting an interview as soon as possible....so, after they received my package 4, I had an interview within 4 days.
So, I got there with pictures, supporting documents and all the other things I thought I might need.
I got called up to the window after quite a long wait, a nice officer asked me who I am, why I am there...how my fiance and I met, what my plans are for the future..I wanted to show him pictures and he didn't even want to see them!!!hehe  ..well, he said that i will receive my visa within a week.
After about 4 days my visa arrived.
The guy was very nice and there werent any problems at all.... read complete review
