Review Topic: Direct Consular Filing

Interview on Nov. 1st at 7.30am.

After going through security, I was directed to the cashier's window to pay the visa application fee, and quickly after that to window 23 where the officer took my DS- 230 part 2.

After maybe 30 minutes I was called to another window where an officer went through all my paperwork with me and collected what I still had to submit: police certificate, birth certificate and affidavid of support.
It was all in order and nothing was missing, so after a few minutes she said: Very good, take a seat until your number is called for the interview.

After a wait of maybe 1 hour my number was called. I went to the window, the officer gave me my DS-230 (both parts) to read through it and see that everything was correct, he then swore me in and I signed the DS- 230.
After that, he asked me when and how I had met my husband, why he had been in Germany at that time and if we had ever lived with one another befo... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa


Well, I finally had my K1-Visa Interview today in Frankfurt.
The appointment was scheduled for 7.30 a.m.
Therefore I had to arrive already one day in advance to make it that early.
I stayed in the hotel Friedberger Warte, which is right behind the embassy.
I probably arrived there by 7 a.m. and was number three in that line.
They opened up the building by 7.30 though.
The lady at the window asked for the appointment letter and my passport. Then she crossed my name out from a list and gave me a number.
Then I had to go to another line. One officer asked for this little sheet with the number on it again and then the first three were allowed to enter the building.
Then the procedure started. We had to take off the jackets and put them in a box with all the rest of our carry-on's. Then we had to go through the metal detactor, like at the airport. All of those guys were pretty nice. One of them took my u... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

My Interview was scheduled for 17th of October 8.30 AM. I was prepared my self with all the documents like Birth certificate, police certificate, affidavit, and visa payment slip etc. I reached the consulate at 8.25 and there were few visitors in the line.

So the process start when you reach the counter, I showed the officer my invitation letter and the passport, he search in his appointment book and figure out my name in the list then he gave me a computer generated number.

Then you go through the security check leading to the big waiting room. The big waiting room have two parts one is for the US citizen and consulate special services (I guess the services like DCF) and the big portion is for the visa and immigration service, here you have to wait until your number get called.

I think you always going to get called to the window 23 for the first time. I was get called with in 5 minutes for the first time to the window number 23 and the la... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

hotel info:
there is a hotel across the street from the consulate but it costs about 99€. if you want a cheaper hotel but still in walking distance: try hotel alleenhof or pension stella. I stayed at hotel alleenhof and walked (slowly) about 20min to the consulate. it cost 55€.

when to arrive:
I was there at 6.30am and was the first one to be there but around 6.45am there werea already 7 people that joined me. it was very cold to stand out there and wait.

the usual procedure:
1) at a window outside you have to show your passport and appointment letter but they never wantet to see my appointment letter. they give you a number.
2) security check
3) large waiting area with 23 windows and displays that call people by their number to the windows.
4) the first window you will be called to is always window 23, there they want your passport, proof that you payed your visa-fee, photo, and they give you a return envel... read complete review
