Consulate Review: Frankfurt, Germany Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : March 1, 2020 Embassy Review : In general, the process at the embassy is pretty self-explanatory - you will know what to do if you listen and follow the directions from the people at the consular I had my interview early in the morning and I was there 20 min before the appointment. First advice: During this time of the year, bring warm clothes because you will be waiting outside for a while before you get to go inside. I checked in with my passport + appointment confirmation and got a ticket with a number on it (keep this ticket on you). I was then asked to go to the next line (still outside) where I waited to enter the first building. This is the security check. (No phones - leave them at home/in the car!) After security, I walked to the main building. In the main building, I went to the receptionist that told me to go directly to a booth. Notice that the main building is split into an "immigration" and "non immigration" area. For K1, everything happens in the immigration area. At the first booth a friendly man asked for my passport and my appointment confirmation. Everything checked out and he asked me to sit down and wait for my number to be called in the waiting area. After 5 minutes, I went to the second booth. A very nice lady informed me that all required documents had been received. She went through the addresses that I had provided and walked me through the process. She was very helpful and also asked me if I had any questions. She then told me that the next instance is the consular and the interview. It took around 40-60 minutes before it was my turn. After the interview, the consular told me that I had been approved and that my visa would arrive no later than 5-10 days. Questions from the consular: How did you meet? Why did we decide to get married in the US vs Germany? Have you or your fiancee been married before? What educational background do you have? What kind of work do you do at the moment? Have you agreed to a job in the US? Rating : Not Rated

*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.
