Rating:  | Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa
My appointment was at 9:00am, got there a little early at like 7:40am didn't want to risk it because of the frankfurt traffic. I was in need of a bathroom and anxious so I took a walk around the block to the mcdonald's there. Went back, grabbed my folder and then went to all the other line at 8:40am (just one person in front of me) got a number at the window. Then went to the security, I was done with that within 5-10 mins (all I had with me was my folder, wallet and keys) walked to the other building at the reception was a nice lady and she send me straight to the window 22. I didnt have to pay anything. He didn't have my file there so he had to go and get it and check on it. I got to see my file was kinda weird but cool. He then took my passport and half of my ticket number I got at the entrance and gave me a paper about the interview process, then send me to sit down and wait for my number to be called. Maybe 5 mins I got called to window 19, the lady took my fingerprints and looked through my file, if everything was up to date and wanted my phone number just in case. She gave me some more informations sheets and showed me how the visa going to look like and explained some more about the interview, then she told me to wait until my name gets called by the CO. I waited maybe 10 minutes, the CO called me to window 17, CO took my oath and again fingerprints for confirmation and asked
- How did you meet?
- What does your husband do for living?
- Where is he stationed? (husband is in the US Air Force)
- What does he work on?
- When will I leave?
then typed something in the computer and said you re approved and I was like really? he said yes and smiled.He gave me back all my original civil documents and even one passport photo. He told me I should have my visa by next week and wished me all the best.
He didnt want to see anything on documents.
All they wanted was the conformations page for the appointment and my passport.
And that was it. CO was super nice :-) it was more of a little chat. I was done and outside at my car at 9:25am so just 45 minutes.
Everybody there was super nice and friendly, just the security guy spoke in english to me, everybody else spoke german. :-)
Had my visa in hand just 2 days after. :-D
