Consulate Review: Frankfurt, Germany Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : June 13, 2007 Embassy Review : All the worries...for nothing! I finally had my interview appointment today, after an application process that took approx. 1 year! I am not quite sure why they call it "interview", because I didn't really have to TALK to anybody. It all went pretty smoothly. Entered after waiting in line for only 10 minutes. Got checked for any prohibited items. Went in and showed my documents to a lady that has been doing her job for way too long! I had to take new photos, because the ones I brought with me were not good enough! I then got to talk to a really nice employee who checked my documents with me and explained the further steps to be taken. I even got to ask questions!!! And after waiting for another ten minutes I had to proceed to another window to "swear" that every statement i made is correct. They took my fingerprints and off I went. So I was in and out within one hour. Unbelievable. And all that after a 6 hour long train ride. Yuck. But it was hopefully all worth it once I get my visa in the mail. If all goes well I should be heading out of Germany and into lovely CA on June 27! Just in time for my brother in law's wedding! So to all of you out there still in the middle of applying and waiting - GOOD LUCK! Nothing to worry. Rating : Very Good

*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.
