Interview was scheduled for 7:30 AM. I showed up at around 7:00 AM and was out by 9:00 AM.
Here an outline of the different stages you go through:
1) Waiting in the line for US citizens and Immigrant Visas + checking in at the window where you receive your queue number
2) Going through security (if you don't bring metal objects, electric devices, or big bags it will speed things up even more)
3) Reporting to the receptionist (he/she will tell you where to go next)
4) First window (cashier): As I had paid the fee already, I just needed to hand over my passport and passport picture.
5) Second window: Fingerprints were taken; I received information regarding domestic violence, social security number, and the conditional permanent residence status; As my case was entirely digital, the original civil documents were compared to the uploaded ones (the copies I brought were not necessary at all)
6) Third window (interview with the consular officer): First I had to swear an oath, then I was asked the following questions:
- How did you meet your husband?
- Did your relationship start back then or later?
- Where does your husband live?
- What is his profession?
- When was the last time you and your husband have seen each other in person?
That was it. My medical was done a week earlier in Munich and the results had not been received by the consulate yet but that was no problem. I had a copy of the vaccination records but the consular officer said there was no need for her to look at it. Once the documents come in she can issue the visa (2-3 weeks).
