I decided to have my medical before the interview. The medical I had on August 26th and everything went well. I had my medical in Hamburg and had to pay 125€ which I think is cheaper than in Frankfurt.
On September 2nd at 7.30am was my interview. I arrived at the embassy at 6.45am which proved to be a good idea. Outside the consulate is the previously mentioned officer who asks you to not bring any electronics or hairspray etc. into the consulate. Also no washing machines or playstations and so on...He was definitely the nicest person there. Another officer, this time German asked us to show him our passport and the reciept that we had paid the visa fee. Then one by one we went to a little window, where I had to say my name showed my passport and then got a number. My number was W603.
Had I been there at 7.30 am who knows what my number had been. Through the check in and then into the big waiting hall where I sat down at the very end of the hall in the section... read complete review

My interview was on a Monday at 9am and I arrived at 8.40. There was a huge line outside for non-immigrant visas, but I asked the guy giving instructions at the front and he said I could bypass it if I was coming for a K-1. Friendly, airy atmosphere inside, the big hall mostly filled with student and au pair visa applicants. The first two windows went pretty quickly, then I had to wait a while for the actual interview with the consul. He was very friendly, and only asked about my previous stays in the US (I was there for almost six years studying and teaching), what my fiancé did for a living, if he had visited me in Germany, and when I was planning to travel and get married. Then he said I should have the visa by the end of the week. I ended up receiving it the following Monday. -- The Frankfurt consulate is really great and the experience is so different from dealing with USCIS!

So 2 days ago I had my Interview sheduled for 8am
I left my house at 4am and arrived at quarter to seven. I immediately lined up and was the second person in line. We had a security guard walking around making sure we dont have cell phones or hairspay. He also made sure that we all would be in a good mood 
About 10 Minutes after 7 they started to give us numbers. Every type of Visa has a Different Letter in front of the number. The Lady in front of me who also applied for K1 had W500 I had W501. Other People had S001 or D300. That way it was easy to know WHEN it actually was your turn.
After we went through the securty check where they even took away car keys we entert the actual consulate building. After another 10 minutes someone came to look at our numbers and tell us where to sit.
About ten minutes before eight I got called to Window 23 and had to give them my passport the proof of payment for the visa an... read complete review

Arrived at Consulate on time, short line before me. You get called up to a window on the outside of the consulate, where they check on your appointment and hand you a number, that number will be YOUR number for that day, mine was "W505". Then had to wait a few minutes at the security line, with a really funny security officer, always going "That's gonna be a awesome day people! Just wanna remind you: No electronical devices, cell phones, microwaves, refrigerators etc.!" LOL Then me and another person got called into the first building, where they do the security screening. They took my umbrella out of my purse and gave me a number (so I can pick it up again afterwards). Then we left the building and walked over to the next one. There was a huge room, with a glass roof, seating for almost 300 people, and at the walls like 35 windows where the consulate office sit behind. The guy at the entrance told me to go in the very back and take a seat there. It was 7:40am by then. A few people sat... read complete review

The Consulate staff was very nice, helpful, and polite! No issues or complaints from our side. It was great to do it in Frankfurt!
The interview did not consist of any marriage questions, rather more about where we're planning to live and what work we're looking for. The officer reviewing our case was really nice!!!
