Consulate Review: Frankfurt, Germany

| Embassy Review : |
I was inside the consulate for a total amount of 40 minutes.
I had my appointment at 9 am and there was nobody besides me at the 2 windows outside. Together with the short secruity check, before you enter the building for more secruity checks, it took not even two minutes to get in.
The secruity inside is basically the same procedure as the ones at airports.
After that, I finally went into the actual consulate buildung and directly to window 2 (KASSE) and paid the interview fee. I paid in Euro, so it was 293€. They also took my passport there.
Then I waited for maybe 10 minutes or 15 minutes and got called up to go the window with a case worker behind it. They talk you through your package and see if all the information you provided is correct.
After that, I waited for a little longer and finally had the interview.
The lady I talked to just asked me some easy questions such as: Where did you meet? How was your first date? What is your spouse working? Why do you want to immigrate to the U.S.?
The interview probably took 4 minutes or so, then I got told that I was approved
All in all it took 6-7 weeks, from submitting the I-130, to having the passport with the visa in it in my mail box.
The people at the consulate were all very friendly and helpful!

*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.
