Been staying at the Allenhof hotel which is a 15 minute walk from the consulate away. One night incl breakfast cost 60eur. It's ok for only staying a night.
The counter to receive your W123 ticket at the embassy is to the left of the entrance. Once you have obtained this by showing your passport and invitation letter you queue up in front of the main entrance to pass the airport style security check.
After passing that you go across the courtyard into the main building. By the time I made it there my number was already on the board for counter 23. Handed over passport, photograph got blank envelope to self address. Required postage as of writing is 4.25eur. Check at Post.de for big registered letter max weight 1000g in case of changes.
Waited for a few minutes until being called up to counter 21 where birth cert, police cert, military record and affidavit were collected. Been told that they got the medical records from the exam a week earlier in Hamburg and all ok. Received booklet about immigration, was told to wait for the consul interview but papers look good and should be fine.
Waited 30 minuted for the consul, questions were about how we met and where, how often we have seen one another. No further evidence required, but we already sent a dozen photos and copies of the plane tickets with the i129f. Had fingerprints taken. Was told result of that check takes about half a day, if that comes back ok the visa would be in the mail end of the week or latest begin of next.
