Everyone was friendly, but I was kept for over 1h at immigration. After 45 minutes of waiting, I got up to ask what is going on and the IO who saw me getting up only said "Your application is being processed, just wait few more minutes". After that another IO came up to me, asked me a few more questions and that was it. |

| Embassy Review : |
I had my interview today in Frankfurt.
Bad things first: You are not allowed to bring any electronic devices, but there is a Kiosk where you can leave your cellphone. Personally, not a nice solution as they should provide storage. Anyways, if you can leave it at home or car. I just didn't bring it at all, because I took the plane.
I arrived pretty early around 8.10 AM (my appointment was scheduled at 9.00 AM). It was a chilly day so at the first window the woman told me that I can go inside already. Security like at airports, nothing to be worried about. After I received my number, I was told to go straight to window 22, where they pick your file. I was the unlucky one today - my application was not with all the others. The person was looking for it for round about 7-10 minutes. After that I had to wait for the number to show up. Next was a friendly lady who looked through the application and she told me that everything looks complete. She took finger prints from all my fingers and then asked me to sit down again to wait for the consul call my name. Then everything went more or less fast, as people in front of me had major issues (and not getting their visas approved). Anyways, the consul was a lady who was very friendly and nice. She asked me "How did you meet your fiancee" and went a bit more into detail and off topic ;-) She said that everything looks good and the visa will be approved and should arrive in 7-10 days.
Everything together it took 1h and 50 minutes...because as mentioned before the people in front of me "blocking" the line.
Don't worry, be happy  |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
