Consulate Review: Frankfurt, Germany
Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

| Embassy Review : |
Procedure like described in the posts before, nothing to add 
My appointment was at 08:00 am but we were there at 07:45 am (after security check). I could go to the first window right away although my appointment was scheduled at 08:00.
The actual interview startet 08:10 (there was just one person in front of me) and I was done at 08:20.
The questions were:
- Why you want to go to the US?
- When and where did you meet?
- What did you do when you first met?
- How and when did your husband proposed?
- What is your husband doing for living?
- What did he do before retirement?
- What did he do in the military?
After that the CO said "Everything looks good, you´re approved!"
They just wanted to see the original birth certificate, marriage certificat and the newest IRS transcipt of 2014. All other documents weren´t requested in interview although it was mentioned in the interview letter.
I suggest to take EVERY document with you anyways, better safe than sorry since every case is different!
All in one it was a very pleasant experience and every one was SUPER friendly.
My CEAC status did not change until June 1st (interview was on 27th May), although they updated the case update date every day.
The case creation date never changed from the status before interview.

POE went very easy, 20 min waiting in secondary, then passport with stamp in hand. No questions asked at all. All IO´s were very friendly (even at 9pm just waiting for our delayed flight). All in one a very pleasant and positive experience. |

*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.
** Not all cases are transfered
