Consulate Review: Frankfurt, Germany

September 3, 2014 |
| Embassy Review : |
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

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
** Not all cases are transfered
