I had my interview in Frankfurt on 10-17.
Here's a rundown of the procedure:
The medical was scheduled for 8am. The doctor's office is about
10 minutes by foot from the consulate.
The parking situation is quite bad, as in all of Frankfurt.
The fee is DM 200, in cash or Eurocheque, no Creditcards or
American checks.
The whole medical took about 1 1/2 hours
The interview was scheduled for 10am.
The consulate is located next to the Palmengarten. You find
directions to the Palmengarten throughout the city, so the
consulate is easy to find.
The fees of $325 can be paid by Creditcard (Visa, MC).
After paying the fees, I waited for 1 1/2 hours before they
called me to check my documents for completeness. Copies are
ok, except for the police certificate, which they wanted
as original.
11/2 hour later I got called for the interview. I expected it
to be in an office, but it was at a counter, like everything
at the consulate. The interview took less than 5 minutes.
The questions:
- what's your job?
- At what company do you work?
- For how long do you work there?
- Do you intend to continue to work there?
The officer browsed through the file, and then wished me luck.
Since they have to wait for the results of the medical, the
visa can be picked up 2 days later, or it can be sent via
registered mail, which takes 7 days (or so they say).
I picked it up yesterday.
