Review Topic: K1 Visa

September 27th 2006

At the entry building you need to show your passport, your visa fee payment receipt and your invitation. You will get a number. Than you need to go to security checkings like at the airport. No electronics (like cell phones) or big bags alowed! They pulled some cosmetics out of my purse and stored it. I got a little card with a number to get it back when I leave. The security people were laughing alot about my purse stuffed with candy and were really nice and friendly.

Inside the main building you need to sit down and wait till your numbers show up on a screen and get called out.

At first I went to a counter and the lady took my passport and the visa fee receipt. She handed me an envelope to write my address on and to put a 4,25Euro stamp on it. Then I had to sit down again.

Next time my number showed up, I went to another counter. The clerk was really friendly, spoke German really well. He collected docum... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

ich bin so kurz vor 7 am Konsulat angekommen. Warn nur ungefähr 10 Leute vor mir in der Schlange. Um 7.30 haben dann die Leute im Konsulat das Arbeiten angefangen. Zuerst kam son etwas älterer Mann raus und hat nochmals darauf hingewiesen das kein elektrischen Geräte mit hineingenommen werden dürfen. Nach einer kurzen Begrüßung und nachdem sie Schirme!!!(fand ich ganz dolle lieb) an alle Wartenden ausgeteilt haben hat sich dann die Schlange endlich in Bewegung gesetzt. Am ersten Schalter musste ich meinen Appointment letter und meinen Reisepass zeigen. Mein Name wurde von der Liste gestrichen und ich bekam eine Nummer. Meine Nummer war W502. Nachdem ich meine Nummer bekommen hatte musste ich mich nochmals in eine andere Schlange (vor dem Eingang zum Konsulat) anstellen. Es wurden immer 4 Leute auf einmal hineingelassen. Um 8.00 durfte ich dann endlich das Konsulat betreten Ich musste meine ganzen Sachen in eine kleine braune Kiste legen (wie beim security check am Flughafen) un... read complete review

JenT is writing on behalf of David:

David spent Sunday night at the Hotel Friedberger Warte, across the street from the rear of the Consulate. The hotel agreed to hold his bags for him while he was at the Consulate. His appointment was at 7:30am on Monday, 9/25/06, and he had already had his medical the week before the interview.

David arrived at the main door of the Consulate at approx. 7:20am and there were already approx 17 people in line ahead of him. It seemed clear that there were many visa types represented (but only 2 or 3 K1 visas in his estimation).

At 7:30pm, an official came to address the crowd in English and German and covered the 'rules' about entry into the Consulate (no weapons, no electronics, no cell phones or cameras). Non-immigrant visa applicants were instructed to have their passport, appointment letter, and payment receipt out for inspection as they entered the building. David was directed to the first window whereby... read complete review

Review Topic: Direct Consular Filing

Interview Experience

The U.S. Consulate in Frankfurt is located at Gießener Straße 30. It is relatively easy to find, especially if you take public transportation.

We arrived at the Consulate at 9:20. Our appointment was at 9:30. There were two queues outside of the building. We weren’t sure which queue to stand in so we asked. We were told to go to the left line. After waiting for two minutes, we approach the clerk’s window.

We said, “We have a visa interview.”
The clerk asked, “Do you want to file a petition?”
We said, “No. We have an interview for the CR-1 visa.”

The clerk asked to see our appointment letter and the beneficiary’s passport. Then, we were crossed off a list that he had in front of him and we were given our magic number. We exited that queue and went over to the other queue, which is for entering the Consulate. We had to go through the security checkpoint.
