| Embassy Review : |
I was at the consulate in Frankfurt today for my IR1 visa interview.
We stayed overnight at a hotel nearby and left my phone at the hotel.
I arrived around 7:30 for my 8:15 interview, and was glad I arrived that early because it meant that all the lines I had to wait in were shorter. Waited outside for maybe 20 minutes, and once I was inside, I had to go to three windows/counters:
(1) cashier (pay my fee in euros or dollars, show my print-out that I registered online the address where my passport and visa should be sent)
(2) document person (confirmed my basic details and those of my spouse and parents, etc. They already had all my original documents.)
(3) actual interview (this just took a few minutes - he asked me about how I met my husband, when we plan to move to the USA, and what I plan to do when I arrive (ie: work?) and made me swear that the info I was giving him was true.)
My medical results haven’t been assessed yet, so they could not tell me if my visa is granted, but they said that they will “make their decision†once they’ve seen the medical results.
They also said the consulate is operating at 50% capacity (half-staffed) due to covid.
Overall they were all easy-going and kind. My main tip is to arrive a bit early  |

*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.
