I think I cannot add much to the previous reviews. I just want to say that the people are very nice. I arrived at 7.10 (my interview was at 7.45). Luckily I was the first person in line and I was called as the first person to get my number and enter the embassy. So for me there were no waiting times. I walked through security, from there into the next building where at the counter they sent me to the cashier (counter no 22). I had already paid and sent everything in so there was nothing to do for me. Second I got to a nice officer who talked with me in german, explaining the K1 visa and that I should not open the sealed envelope once I get it. Next was the interview for which I had to wait for about 20min. In the embassy, behind the counters, they are all looking very informal (wearing sweaters) only some are in uniforms. This helped me a lot to relax! I think most important is to be polite and confident. My interview was about 5min (max.). I got informed that it is approved and that i... read complete review

I had my K1 Visa Interview on Thursday and I was approved.
The appointment was at 7:45 and my Fiance joined me for the interview, which was a great support for me.
We got parking directly in front of the embassy and had a backup plan for parking at LIDL or REWE close by.
K1 is treated like an immigrant visa so we had to go to window 1. There is a guy in front of the embassy telling you which line to stand in and some additional information. At the window we received a number. After that we went through the security to the main building. At the entrance we got a information letter and were sent to window 22. They wanted the passport and the confirmation of payment with the delivery address for the visa on it. Then we had to sit down and they called our number to a different window were they did a document checked and asked two question to make sure everything is correct.
Then there was some waiting again until we got called to the next window where ... read complete review

I had my visa interview on the 1st of September at 8:30 am.
I entered the consulate at 8:00 am and was out by 8:45.
Everyone there was extremely friendly and helpful.
The process was identical to previous reviews; thus, I will not go too much into depth.
The questions asked were:
1) How and when did you met?
2) When did you see each other agin after you left (I was a foreign exchange student) and how did your relationship develop?
--> That was it....she then said we were approved  )
Only negative point about everything was that I had to wait more than an entire month on my visa appointment. When I last checked it even said that there was no appointment available. This could have been due to the summer tho. Not sure, but it was a little upsetting.

My review was almost identical to everyone else's.
I arrived at 7:20 for my 7:45 appointment and was out at 8:30.
K1 visas should get in the 'all other visas' line - it's much faster! After doing this, I received my ticket number and proceeded through security. All I had was my paperwork (I didn't actually need anything but my passport and appointment confirmation but I brought it all anyway), wallet and keys so no issues there.
I went into the large room and the ladies at the desk directed me straight to window 22. My fee was already paid, so he simply located me file, took my passport and asked me to sit down and wait for my number to be called.
After about 5 minutes I was called to window 20 where they took my biometrics and ran through the details of my application (names, addresses etc.).
Then I waited for about 15 minutes for my interview. While waiting, however, an extremely loud alarm started sounding, with a... read complete review

My appointment was at 7:45. I got in line at 7:20. The staff was super nice, relaxed and helpful, no problems at all!
The officer asked me when and how my fiance and I met and following that if we started seeing each other/dating right after that. She also asked if he came to visit me in Germany at all. Then she said everything looks good and I'm all set. It literally took about 5 minutes and there's no need to be nervous if you have nothing to hide.
The only thing I noticed was that people really don't inform themselves enough in advance. 4 People had their bags and cellphones and some girls had wallets which didn't get through security cause it looked like there could be a memory card in there somewhere! Just take a folder with your appointment confirmation letter and your passport, you don't need anything else. Don't wear belts or anything like that to make it easier for yourself and everyone else
