The interview was scheduled for 7:30 today, we arrived at 7 and were first in line. At 7:30 they started checking people's paperwork. We went to the window outside, got the sticker for the passport and our number, and were sent through security. Security was quick, only took a couple of minutes. It took longer for people who wore belts, brought their phones, or anything else they tell you not to bring. Once through security we walked to the main building and spoke with the person at the front desk who directed us to the cashier at window 22 to pay our final fees (since we applied DCF). The man at the cashier booth was friendly, took my husband's passport and put it with his file, then told us to take a seat and wait for our number to flash on the screen to know which window to go to. A few (maybe 10) minutes later we were called up to window 21, where the caseworker (a pleasant German lady) went over the basic info on the DS-260 with my husband, then said for us to take a seat and we'd be called up for our interview. At this point it was around 8. Around 8:45 we were called up to window 17, for the first interview of the day. The interviewer was a nice man who had my husband take an oath to tell the truth, took his fingerprints, and then asked a few questions.
He asked my husband:
-How long have you been together?
-When did you meet?
-Do you have children?
-Where do you plan live in the US?
Then he asked me a few questions:
-How long have you lived in Germany?
-Why did you move to Germany?
-What did you study?
-Where did you study?
-What do you do for a living?
Then he asked us both when we plan to move. After that he told us everything looks good and we should get the passport and paperwork in the next week or so! The interview was fast, maybe not even 5 minutes. We were out of the consulate before 9.
One thing to note: there aren't vending machines anymore that I saw, there's a little corner with a guy who sells snacks and drinks. But he didn't open until just before we left, so we were pretty thirsty by the time we got out! Just something to be aware of.
