I see that you had moved back to Germany and surrendered your GC - I kind of did the same thing. What visa did you just apply for? I don't know what DCF stands for. I hated having to go through this whole process again. I lived in the US since 1983-2002

Ok here its is, my Frankfurt interview experience

Frankfurt is aproximatly 45 minutes away from us and my interview appointment was @8:00am so of course we left the house @6am (never know if you get into a traffic jam)

We (my hubby, my oldest daughter & me) arrived there like an hour to early so we went to Mc Donalds for 30 minutes and walked to the Konsulat to line up (a huge line) a Officer came and asked "whi is here for a VISA interview?"so everybody with a interview raised their hands and where asked to step to the side and all the way in front of the line Cool so we don't have to wait until the other 100 people get in first LOL.

He gave us a ticket, I had Number W502

then we were asked to step in the security check point room (always 4 people only) take of your watch, a belt if you where one, hand them your purse etc. then walk through that whatever it's called thingy LOL take your stuff and proceed to the next building.

The first thing I had to do was taking my Dumbo Passport pics (which are cheaper @ the Consulate then outside!!!! 6 Euros for 4, in Aschaffenburg they cost you 12 Euros)

Then my number was called for Window 23 to turn in my Passport, my DS 230 Pt II (NOT SIGNED!!!) the Lady handed me a big brown envelope and told me while I wait for the next Window to put the stamps on the envelope and to put my mailing address on it. Then she handed me a green Letter with instructions how to have my Documents in order. I did the stamps part & the Address the rest I already did @home.

My number got called again for I think it was Window 17 but I wont lay my hand in fire for it LOL. The LAdy was absolutly nice and friendly, she asked me if I want to have the interview in german or in english, I replied in english due to my husband not understanding any german. She told me the order of the Documents she would ike to have one copy and the original, handed me the originals back, then she explained me the SSN thing but said ÿou already know that right?" yes I did since I lived almost 6 years in the states she handed me a Guide for New Immigrants "Welcome to the United States" wished us luck in the states and to take a seat for our final and actual interview with a Consular Officer.

After a few minutes of waiting my number got called again and we again had a very nice & frindly Officer. He told me that my papers are all in order and when we met, my husband grint and replied September 11th 2001 the Officer had to grin to because of the date but that is in fact the first time we where talking LOL

The we were asked were we intend to live and I replied first North Carolina and then we are going to Florida the Officer smiled and said he is from North Carolina and only a hour away from my hubbys hometown lol. He took my Fingerprints, had me sighn the DS 230 pt II explained me about the envelope and NOT to open it, also about the missing corner being normal and so on, then he wanted to know if I have any Questions I said No and he told me my Visa will arrive within a week as certified mail

SO I AM APPROVED!!!!!! woohooo
