Visa approved! :dance:
Finally this day came for me too. I left the house early in the morning (4:30 am) because I was afraid of the traffic, a lot of rain and trucks on autobahn 5 but all good, I arrived to the Consulate in Frankfurt at 6:00 am. I parked in front of the Consulate and I was the second in line..but first person was for a work visa so....and the third in line was a VJ friend, Diana (John&Diana)-approved too :D .
Inside, first you pass the security, then you go to the visa building.
Window 22 pay the fee, window 23 give the number from the entrance, visa application (DS-230 part 2), 1 photo (I showed her a bunch of pictures and she picked the correct one lol) and I received a list with the order they want my documents at the next window and an envelope to put stamps on it (value of the stamps 4.25 euro).
Window 18, the lady (very nice lady) took the requested documents and explained me about the POE and remov... read complete review

Interview went smoothly. Got to the Consulate way ahead of time around 6.45 in the morning. Appointment was at 8.
Once I entered the building and passed security, I was sent from window to window until I got called for the interview with the Consul.
Small talk - a few questions about how my fiancee and I met and what I do for a living. Signed the visa application and was told that the visa would come in the mail within a week. The whole interview took only 5 minutes and the guy was very laid-back and friendly. No worries!
Stayed at Hotel Alleenhof in Frankfurt for 55 Euros/night. It definitely wasn't the best I've ever stayed at but close to the Consulate and a very yummy Kebap place around the corner.
Good luck to everyone.

Hi Everyone,
My husband's interview in Frankfurt went great. We stayed at the Friedeberger Warte Hotel (wonderful!) on Homburger Strasse, a street that runs parallel to the street where the embassy/consulate is located. It was a quick 5-10 minute walk to the Consulate, where we arrived at a little after 7am. There was only one line this morning (typically, we've read, there's one for immigrant visas and one for non-immigrant visa), and we were fairly close to the front. A man came outside shortly before 7:30 and gave instructions, but said nothing about immigrant visa applicants. So when we got to the counter outside the security building to get our appointment number, we did not have my husband's passport ready. We had his appointment letter, but the man shouted a few times, you need to show me your passport, even though it only took us about 15 seconds to pull it out of our big accordion file folder. (He was the only one who was remotely rude.) After getting our appointment nu... read complete review

Very easy and hassle-free experience. Everyone was very nice, not too long of a wait. The whole process took about 2 and a 1/2 hours altogether. Let them know we would be appreciative if the visa could come quickly, because we had been apart for a long time, they said they would send it out ASAP, it came in the mail 4 days later.

For anyone who needs to visit the American Consulate/Embassy in Frankfurt, right now (March 2007) the hotel Friedberger Warte (a four star hotel across from the Consulate) has a special offer. My husband and I will both be staying there the evening of April 1st (before his visa interview on the 2nd), and we paid only 44 Euros (including all taxes) for the two of us with breakfast using the website www.ebookers.de. We actually found the rate by using www.tripadvisor.com, searching on the hotel, and then doing a rate search. Some sites advertised a rate of over 100 Euros per night, so needless to say we were quite pleased with the rate found on ebookers. Plus, the hotel looks beautiful and has free overground parking.
Anyhow, I'm not sure anyone on VJ is headed there any time soon, but perhaps in the future, they might also have a reasonable rate and it might help someone.
Best wishes!
