| Embassy Review : |
My appointment was at 7:30, I arrived at about 07:05. Two people were in front of me (the first one was in the wrong line I guess and the second one just wanted to pick up her passport), so actually I was the first person that got interviewed for an "immigrant" visa that day. I got my waiting number at 07:15 and went inside through the security check. They were actually pretty nice and not rude like some others said. In the second building I went straight to the first window where the woman took my passport and confirmed my appointment again. At first she couldn't find me and left to ask someone, but when she came back she told me that everything was fine. Around 07:50 I got called to the second window where the officer confirmed all addresses I put on the DS-160 and where I handed over my medical results (I brought it with me because I had my medical examination late the week before). "Only" 20 minutes later I got called to the third window for my actual interview which took about 5 minutes only. The questions were:
- Where did you meet?
- Did you start dating right away?
- What does he do?
- Have you ever been married?
- Do you have kids?
- Has he been married before?
- When did you get engaged?
- When did you last see each other?
- Where do you want to get married?
After that she told me that she'll send me home with the information that she needs a new letter of intent to marry and I got really confused and worried. Another officer heard her and came to help. She showed her something on our petition (my interview was only two months after the USCIS approval) and when she was gone my interviewer said she’d approve my visa and wished me a happy future in the USA.
I was out around 08:20.

Timeline Comments: 2Hey, we have similar timelines 😊 and your interview is also in Frankfurt. Do you know how much the fees are for the embassy in Frankfurt? Everything I can find on the website is a bit confusing 😓
Yay! Have you checked your case? Mine has been ready since today. The visa fee is $265 and about two weeks ago it was 238.50€ I think. They don’t always go with the newest exchange rate. Have you done your DS-160? I wanted to start later today. 🙈
*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.
