My appointment letter said 8am and do not arrive more than 15 minutes early. I got there around 7:25 and stood in line for maybe 10 minutes and was issued a number (Numbers seem to be sorted by type of visa - mine started with a W). I had to show my passport at the number counter.
New line - stood there for a few seconds and went to...
Short security check (no electronics), everybody was very friendly.
Inside the embassy there is a large waiting room and a bunch of windows (23 or so). They call your number very clearly, no problems there. The waiting room also has two "picture booths", a machine for stamps, a machine that gives you change (seemd to be broken though!), a copier, vending machine (I think), and a bar type thing (Had some snacks and drinks; I think it opened at 8:30).
-- So everything is there, but I'd definitely recommend bringing everything to the embassy; much less stressful (pictures - see below, stamps - 4,25Euros, ... read complete review

Everything went well on March 1st. nothing to worry about. The officer was really nice and the interview just took 5 minutes or less.
Only bad thing: He told me that I would receive my visa within 2 weeks, but it took 3,5! Was kind of nerve-wracking, but now that I got it I'm just so happy!!

First off, it is far less scary than you'd think.
My appointment was at 8.30, got there at 8.10 and queued up for the "All other services" line, got my number (e.g. W506). Security check, no big deal.
Once in the big hall with all the counters, you will be told where to wait for your number to be called out.
All in all I'd say it took about an hour for everything 'inside' that hall.
At the first counter I had to show passport, appointment letter and visa payment receipt. He gave me a checklist with all the things I should pre-prepare for the next step (Birth cert, divorce cert, marriage cert, police cert, affidavit of support and supporting documents).
At the second counter I gave the officer all the requested documents. He explained when and how I will probably receive my visa and asked no further questions.
At the third and last counter I had a short chat with one of the consuls. He asked when and how my fiancé and I met. He quickly aske... read complete review

My appointment was scheduled at 7.30 in Frankfurton February 16th. I got there at at 7 am. A funny, typical American guy was talking to us and asked us whether we had any electronic devices with us. At 7.15 they opened the reception where I got a service ticket (the number was W 600). It took about 10 minutes to get that ticket and the guy at the reception was talking German with me. I just had to show him my passport (not even my invitation letter). Then I went through the security check which took another 10 minutes. Those people working there were talking German too. After that I had to go to another building where I sat down and waited. You sit in a big hall with chairs for up to 300 people. They have a little cafeteria, a vending machine for stamps, a photo-box and copy machines. At 7.45 they called my number and i had to give that lady at the counter my passport, the service number, the payment slip and 1 photo (American size). She talked German as well. At about 8.15 my number w... read complete review
