Another success story due largely in part to VJ.com and it's wealth of resources (Including it's members!)

My wonderful fiancee was approved at the Frankfurt consulate this afternoon. She said it was quick and painless. She arrived at the building around 8:30am, and after a brief wait out in the freezing cold everybody was let inside and security checked. She talked to 3 or 4 different people in total, and was approved with no problem! Yahoo!! They did say I had to fax over a more updated letter of intent to marry, because the one I sent her over there with was dated back in September. They are mailing the visa and passport to her within 2 weeks!

All together, from mailing in the first form to getting approval at the interview, it took 146 days. This included a 38 day delay in sending back packet 3 because she had to get a new passport. So essentially a 108 day approval with no problems at all, thanks VJ :thumbs:

Now I hope AOS is just as smooth :whistle:

it's funny, i remember when i first found this site. I was trying to learn the seemingly endless process of a K-1, and as i saw the "approved" threads I felt like I was so far away from that. It really does feel good to be finished with one step in the long process, and all of you people out there just starting will get here soon too :)
