Consulate Review: Frankfurt, Germany Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : March 24, 2023 Embassy Review : It was a smooth interview process. From the time of arrival until leaving, it took about 2 hours. Both applicant and petitioner attended and were allowed at the interview. We did the following steps: (1) waited in a line outside to get our passports checked and receive a slip of paper; (2) went through security (you can't bring in any electronics - they held my fitbit and phone in a container for me); (3) entered a large indoor room with multiple small windows, including a payment window, document check windows, and interview windows; (4) went to the payment window (we had already paid so we just got a confirmation of that) and received a number; (4) waited until our number was called to go to the document check window, where they asked a few questions to make sure we had all the documents (exactly the same ones that we uploaded for the NVC); (5) sat back down and waited until our number was called at the interview window; (6) went to the interview window and answered questions for about 5 minutes; (6) was told we were approved, left, and within a few days the passport arrived with the visa inside it. The security people were a little demanding but everyone else was very friendly. The interviewer only asked about 5 questions, mainly about the sponsor's job. 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.
