In our letters we've indicated "Yablykangly" as border crossing, as I wasn't sure what's the proper town name to get to Khiva and took it from Google maps. Actually we've wanted to get to Nukus in UZ, but there were some reports that the closest border crossing between Konye Urgench and Nukus is temporarly closed. 2 days after sending the documents to Berlin I got a call from the embassy and a very nice guy (seriously, it was a very pleasant call!) asked me which boarder crossing he should put into the official visa form as the one indicated by me is in Uzbekistan. So, after a quick chat, he proposed he will just put Konye Urgench if we want to get to Nukus (apparently there was no issue with this one). After approximately 1 week our passports were sent back with 5 days transit visas.
One of the nicest embassy experiences ever, to be honest!
