First: never complain again about German bureaucrazy 🙂
...this is a bureaucrazy marathon (all the 2 copies, better prepaid stuff, delivery boxes) .. Congratulations to fulfilled this marathon 🙂
Well, on the consulate: security rules, 'register' an USA citizenship (born abroad) is a big think of course. And I assume the staff is doing a good organized job, but has to handle the daily 'amount' of people.
For you personally it was 'just' an one-(whole-)day-appointment because you were top organized. And of course it might have been a 2+ hour (car) trip to head up to Frankfurt
Go Baby Go and keep your parents busy 🙂
