Everything went well on March 1st. nothing to worry about. The officer was really nice and the interview just took 5 minutes or less.
Only bad thing: He told me that I would receive my visa within 2 weeks, but it took 3,5! Was kind of nerve-wracking, but now that I got it I'm just so happy!!

First off, it is far less scary than you'd think.
My appointment was at 8.30, got there at 8.10 and queued up for the "All other services" line, got my number (e.g. W506). Security check, no big deal.
Once in the big hall with all the counters, you will be told where to wait for your number to be called out.
All in all I'd say it took about an hour for everything 'inside' that hall.
At the first counter I had to show passport, appointment letter and visa payment receipt. He gave me a checklist with all the things I should pre-prepare for the next step (Birth cert, divorce cert, marriage cert, police cert, affidavit of support and supporting documents).
At the second counter I gave the officer all the requested documents. He explained when and how I will probably receive my visa and asked no further questions.
At the third and last counter I had a short chat with one of the consuls. He asked when and how my fiancé and I met. He quickly aske... read complete review

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
