| Embassy Review : |
It was super easy! Not really any reason to be nervous... even though that is always easy to say when it's over, I know 
There was long line outside but I went to the immigration visa line, which was a lot shorter. (i was told to do so)
I got a number and had to wait to go to the security window. The guy looked at me funny cause my passport picture is a little old 
I went in and had a seat on the far left. When I went to the first window I had to hand in my payment receipt and sit back down. After about 45 minutes I was called to another window. Strangely it was the same person than at the first window. She wanted some more papers (police certificate, etc.), explained the whole process to me and told me that the consul is going to call me up in a little bit. She didn't even want our co-sponsor papers even though my fiance does not make enough money (at least we thought so) but because they had his employment letter they were fine.
When my number was called again I went up to a window with the nicest lady behind it. She smiled the whole time and was very friendly! I was even able to ask her a couple of questions!!!! 
She just asked me how we met, how we started dating, what my fiance does for a living and what I plan on doing!
That was all. Then she said that they will print my visa and get it to me ASAP!!! They even had my medical results already even though I only had it 2 days before!
My interview was on Friday and I received my visa the following Thursday!
So guys, relax!!!! be prepared but there is no real reason to be nervous!! Everybody in Frankfurt is super helpful and very friendly!!!!
Good luck!  |

*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
