I had a very pleasant experience at the U.S. Consulate in Frankfurt. My appointment was at 7:30am and I arrived at the Consulate at 6:40 and did not have a problem to find a parking spot at all. I got in line and was literally the 3rd person to be called to the first window and then inside for security screening at 7:20am. At the security screening, I had to give away the X-Ray dvd from my medical appointment in exchange for a ticket to pick it up after my interview was done.
I then walked across a little yard into the actual building. At the reception, I had to show my appointment confirmation and was told to go to counter 22 which is the cashier and had to wait until a little after 7:30am for the cashier to arrive. He was very friendly and put my passport into a folder. After, he told me that I will be called at window 19 very shortly. Literally 5 minutes later, a friendly lady called my number and took my fingerprints and checked mine and my fiancé's addresses. She had my entire folder in front of her and asked for an additional phone number to be able to get in touch with me if needed. Lastly, she told me how I will be talking to a Consular Officer at window 18 very shortly and have my actual interview.
I waited for a little bit and was then called to window 18 by a very young and friendly woman. I greeter her in English so we just continued the conversation in English. She asked me exactly 2 questions after I took my oath and swore to "tell nothing but the truth" while holding up my right hand:
1) How and when did you and your fiancé meet?
2) Have you seen your fiancé since you came back from the U.S. after your Au-Pair time?
She was very relaxed and open and we were even able to joke a little. She smiled at me the entire time and calmed me down and after I answered these questions she said how she has heard enough and she can see that we are really excited to get married soon and congratulated me on my visa and upcoming wedding. I was overly prepared with proof and possible documents the officer might want to see but nothing was needed at all. I was out by 8:10  |

My now husband travelled with me to the U.S. and got in line with me for non-citizens while I was not only wearing a "bride" sweatshirt, but also my wedding dress and the sealed envelope I received from my consulate. The lines were not bad at all and the officer we talked to was very nice. We had a very nice and friendly conversation in which he opened the envelope I gave him, he asked about our wedding plans and even joked about my husband not wearing a matching sweater with me. He also had to ask another officer on how to proceed regarding k1-visas until he asked us to follow us for additional screening. On the way, he alarmed two officers coming our way with the following words to make room for us to carry our carry-ons (my dress) through the walkway: "Watch out, I got bride and groom coming" and they jokingly responded that he was serious by looking at us. :D In the room, we were told to sit down and to wait. The room is not the prettiest and was pretty crowded with other people waiting. After a maximum of 10 minutes, I saw a man stamping my passport before calling my name so he then just reminded us to adjust status and welcomed me to the U.S..
It was very easy and comfortable. I almost could not understand why and how quick and fast we were but I was nervous for absolutely no reason.

*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.
