| Embassy Review : |
This morning, at 8am, was my interview at the consulate in Frankfurt.
Got there at around 7.40 - parked about 200 m away from the consulate on Giessener Straße - and there was pretty much no line. Went to window on left hand side first, got a processing number, and then got in line to go in and through security.
Was with second group to get in - in the meantime it is allowed again to bring bags - just still no electronic devices - and afterwards got, like everybody else in the big waiting hall.
Was called up to window 23 and little later to window 21 all pretty quickly, they had all my data and files - other than the passport picture & passport.
Waiting for the consul (window 17) took a little longer, bout an hour, by then I was a little nerve-wracked - but he pretty much only asked me two questions:
Is all what you stated on form DS230 correct - I said yet - then I had to sign and give my fingerprints - and then he asked me
"How did you meet your husband?" I said place and date and that it was through my hostfamily - he than smiled and asked "did they plan that?" I laughed and said no, I don't think so - he laughed as well and said "ok - you're all set - you'll get your visa in the mail as soon as we've got the results of your medical exam "(which I took Friday - 3days ago). Yieppieh...
Mir ist nicht nur ein Stein, sondern ein Felsbrocken von der Seele gefallen.  |

*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.
