As my appointment was scheduled close to Christmas holidays, the waiting times were horrendous. I almost spent my entire day in the embassy and missed almost an entire workday. I also showed up an hour early for a morning appointment, which was really unnecessary because they did not let anyone into the building until the actual time of the appointment. So we were freezing in Stockholm minus degrees for an hour outside and had to take off our jackets to enter the building! Be prepared if you do your interview in winter!!! Haha 😆
Apart from the inconvenience at the entrance, the officers were really friendly and they did their absolute best in an understaffed situation! It was overall a good experience and I was lucky to be living in Stockholm at that time, because other applicants had to travel there from other countries.
The questions asked were very simple: How and when did you meet eachother? How did you become a couple? How many times have you been visiting ... read complete review

Hi everyone,
Just like others have said, our experience at the Frankfurt Consulate was really great. Our appointment was at 08:50, so we decided to arrive early at 07:30. (Just in case  ). We went to the counter outside of the consulate and received a ticket number. We showed the security guard the number and were immediately let in. Next, we had to pass through the security check area (similar to TSA Checkpoints at the airport.) We decided to leave our electronics (our phones) at home as people said that they would not be allowed in. ((U5 takes you pretty close to the consulate from the Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof, so phones aren't necessary anyway.) What we weren't sure about was what the security would do if we DID bring a phone...we found out that the security simply held the phone of the older woman ahead of us until she came back later...which is good to know.)
We entered the main building (following the green line). W... read complete review

I went to the Frankfurt consulate for my O1 visa. I am a UK resident but German citizen, due to some not so positive stories about the London embassy I decided to have my interview in Germany. This should be an option for most EU citizens, I think. Just keep in mind that you'll have to stay in the country until you get your passport back!
Appointment: After my USCIS approval it took 2 days to get an appointment in Frankfurt.
Travel: Interview times are scheduled for the mornings, I arrived the night before and stayed in a hotel nearby. Villa am Wasserpark, nice hotel, affordable, 8 minute walk to the embassy.
Wait time: When I arrived at 9.10am for my 10am appointment there was a long line for security OUTSIDE the building. It was only 3 degrees that day and the wait was over an hour, so dress warm. Don't worry about arriving late. Everyone had to wait longer than they thought and we were reassured that appointment times are for when you sho... read complete review

Had good experience, only a few question about our relationship and when we met. Very friendly and straightforward. Left passport but had to wait on medical information to arrive for the visa to be processed. Interview conducted in English.

First: My interview went well.
We arrived a little late and a huge line was already waiting to register. We waited round about 10 minutes then went through security and to the main room with much more people waiting in the inside. For my understanding most of them for Non-Immigrant Visa. When I wanted to pay me and a lot other people was told they had massive issues to pay with credit card. So only cash was possible or you run to one of the gas stations near by.
Then we get a short note that they allow you to skip the line (and let other people get really upset on you but it is what it is). The walk back and forth takes round about 40 minutes for fast walker or less if you really run.
I finally paid. Only a little bit later we got called to counter 21. The guy was very nice and asked some questions about myself. We sat down afterwards and waited to be called to the actual interview.
The lady called us. She was nice, asked a few questions about our ma... read complete review
