Omg so happy for you!!!! Congrats!! How was it?! I'm so nervous already for my interview I can barely eat 😩

Thanks!!!

 

I was nervous too, but it was super easy honestly. My appointment was 830, I arrived at 8 and was out of the building by 9! You line up, hand over your DS-160, go through security, go inside and show your passport, then you go straight to window 22. There you hand over your passport and appointment confirmation, then take a seat. 5 mins later you speak to the second window, where they take your prints and confirm your details on the DS-160, then you wait about 5 minutes more and have your actual interview with the consular officer.

 

You swear the oath to be truthful, and then she asked me the follow questions:

  • When and how did you meet?
  • Did you stay in touch after leaving the United States and before moving to Berlin together?
  • How long were you in the states for while studying?
  • What does your fiancee do for work?
  • When did you get engaged?
  • As you're both living in Berlin, is it your intention to move to and stay in the United States?

I think that was it, though I might have missed something. She gave me my docs back that I had mailed in and that was it. Everyone is super nice there and really friendly, which is a massive difference to the US Embassy in London. I couldn't believe how quick everything was, and it seems that K1s have their own separate process to all the other people at the consulate, over in the corner. Come prepared and you'll have nothing to worry about!

Und wo lasse ich mein Handy? Ich komme nämlich mit dem Zug.

That sound so so simple .. thank you for the detailed review! 

 

I'm sure they will ask me tons of questions about my denied student visa last year because we didn't know we had to apply for K1 😅 But at least I was honest and told the officer last year that my fiancé will be my bank sponsor. So I never tried to hide anything I was just stupid. We will see. My folder with all the evidence for our relationship is so thick that I'm sure the officer will be like 'nope miss crazy pants, no nerves to look through this'. 

 

Enjoy your day! Have a beer! Or two!

Ich habe meinen Pass, DS-160, und Terminbestätigung gebracht. Ich hatte andere Beweise (NOA-2 usw.), aber sie waren nicht erforderlich.

Wenn Sie mit dem Zug kommen, lassen Sie Ihre Sachen an den Schließfächern bei Hbf. Es ist eine kurze Fahrt auf der U5 zur Gießener Str.

As long as you have genuine answers to the questions, it'll be ok. Something like that is in my mind not really a problem compared to an overstay etc, so just explain and I'm sure they will understand - they see it all at the consulate! Off to Sachsenhausen now! Hab einen schönen Tag alle!

If you want to try specialties from frankfurt go to the neighnorhood 'Sachsenhausen' to a traditional restaurant , for example 'Atschel' 'Schreiber Heyne' or 'Affentorschänke'. Drink some Apfelwein and eat Grüne Soße! :) Sachsenhausen is also the most scenic neighborhood! 

Sooo..Apfelwein ist super! Es ist ganz ähnlich als unsere Englische "cider" - nur ein bisschen mehr sauerer. Gute Empfehlung!

Deine Wertsachen kannst am Bahnhof einschließen, oder bei einem Kiosk in der Nähe der Botschaft! @Special_K weiß bestimmt noch wo das war! :)

😂 alles gut, bitte gerne 😉

Übrigens, unsere NOA2 ist vom 05/25 und am 06/26hab ich beim NVC angerufen und die case no erhalten, am 06/27 war es dann schon beim Konsulat in Frankfurt und ja nächste Woche schon Termin, ab da geht es auf einmal sooo schnell. 😳

Wir haben vom NVC nie etwas schriftliches erhalten und ja, es dauert wirklich ca 1 Monat also alles noch gut im grünen Bereich bei Dir.

Hach, wenigstens ein kleiner Erfolg!
Nachdem etliche rund um meine NOA2 rum schon ihre NVC Nummer bekommen haben, hab ich heute nochmal beim NVC angerufen; dieses Mal mit ner anderen Menünummer.
Padammm... am Dienstag kam unsere Petition rein. Ist noch ohne Nummer, aber kann nicht mehr lange dauern! Jippiiiee - progress! :)

Die Straßenbahnstation ist an einer kleinen Kreuzung. Direkt an der Kreuzung ist ein Kiosk und ein Blumenladen. Geht bei beiden! Ich weiss allerdings nicht wann die Büdchen aufmachen! Ich habe meine Sachen am Bahnhof eingeschlossen!

Man muss nicht nochmal extra Bilder machen lassen und mitbringen oder? 

Das eine Foto von Package 3 reicht denen?

Normal braucht man nix mehr, außer dem Pass und dem Schreiben fürs Interview.

Ich nehm aber zur Sicherheit auch den Rest Bilder im Ordner mit, für alle Fälle.
