Hello Agnes2012,
Question, I do not understand, you had a k1 visa before? You did not use it?
On the other hand, yes, you can do a DCF in Frankfurt. If you want to finish faster, go with your husband and file in person.
Good luck with your process

Read her timeline.... you will see the situation

what's wrong with me? oh yea I read her timeline thank you fwaguy

So you guys didn't ask them first if they were going to do the case?
I will just send the package then (I don't want to drive there all the way to Frankfurt....I am six months pregnant and my husband would have to take a day off especially for this purpose).
We are not in a hurry that much. I would like to complete the process sometime in November or December this year and ask them to issue my visa next sommer. My Polish friend did like this -they offered themselves that they would issues her visa, when she would be sure taht she would use it the following six months.
We have to do things this way, because my husband is going to be deployed in January or February and he will come back a short time before we move to US.

greetings

Good deal than no need to ask them to send the papers in, just send them. As long as the USC is residing in Germany you are good to go. Good luck

OK, I really need your help. I need to know what the hell the correct fax number to the IV section is. I don't know who my husband has been faxing things to, but it is not to them. Agggghhh. We have this number for them:

Fax: 069-75352260

They also wrote back in the email that they think we are doing a K-1?? WTF?????????

Wacken,
The fax for IV section Frankfurt is 069-75352260, so is the correct number the one you have. Are you sure that the fax went out? It happened to me, I sent the fax and I got an error so I resent it.
K1????? What is wrong over there? You better clarify this with Frankfurt cause you do not want a delay in your process. Imagine a wrong visa issued to your husband

Try to call Visa Section 06975358200 and see what's wrong!

All the best,
Adriana

and did he mail the DS-230 part 1?

hi
I have almost everything completed for I 130

I have a few last question, though and I would appreciate any help

on I 130 is the question "Have you ever filed a petition for this or any other alien before?", so they mean any petition, right?
well, my husband filed I 129 F for me for K1 visa and I put this as an answer...

does approval of I 130 expire? for I 129 F it stated on NOA 2: valid from 17/02/2006 to 17/06/2006, so 4 months, but as far as I remember, the consulate had the power to extend it....

did you guys attached any proof of residence in germany for a petitioner?

greetings

I do not know about expiration of the I-130 but the petition is processed in Germany, they have a USCIS Office in Frankfurt, it takes between 60-90 days to be processed and than it is sent to the Visa Section Unit "downstairs'. You will communicate the Visa Section later in the process (packet 3) the date you will prefer to have the interview. Pretty much the visa unit is very understanding and it will follow your wish After you have the interview you will get the visa which has an expiration date: 6 months. So you have 6 months to activate it or else it will expire.
Send proof of residency, make copies of the SOFA stamp your husband has.
I wish you good luck!

thanks

You're welcome Agnes

Hello to all Frankfurt DCFilers ...what's new?

What is new is I can't trust my husband to do any of this crap right. I think he was faxing crap the wrong way. The number was right. Then they just told us to forget faxing and mailing, just scan it and attach it. Fine. Of course this has to be the time that the power supply blows up on my laptop and I can't check my husband's work before he emails it. Of course, he screwed it up. Didn't sign the bottom of the DS-230 like I told him to, didn't send the employment history attachment, and for whatever reason did not send page 2 of the checklist. WTF???????? AGGGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!1111!!!!!!!! Going to castrate him if he doesn't start paying attention. I mean, I wrote all of this out step by step what he should do. Why is this so hard for him?

He he he a lot of stress for him, missing you, the baby etc .......

Well, it was more like he was overthinking crap. If he had just shut up and listened to what I was saying instead of questioning everything I was saying, it would have went a lot, lot faster and easier. Agh.

But that is over with.

The interview was scheduled today for July 2!

yahoooooo congratulations Wacken that's great news.....July 2 is soooooooooooooooooon

It is. Only 11 days! I am so ready for all of this immigration crap to be over with.

IV section has been very quick to respond to emails and just patient with us in general.

-----Catch Up-----

How are you enjoying life in MD, MaydayDas?

Hey, your interview is next week, Walter G. Let us know how it goes if you get time to tell us!

Any new news, Mephibosheth?

Awesome, tell us how your interview went I probably have to wait and wait and wait for the I-130 to be approved longer since I already had a GC and surrenderd mine in 2005 plus it was a previous marriage.

I would send them an e-mail next week or the first week of July and ask about your petition: uscis.frankfurt@dhs.gov .

It can take them a few days to respond, but I hope it is with good news!

Well, Wacken, things are great over here, the weather is great to enjoy the pool .I finally finished arranging the house and the yard, it is first time we have a house with a yard so now I see how much work is . I am waiting for the SSN to arrive in the mail so I can go for the driving license and to start the hunt for a job. Hope to find a nice job!
I am very happy for your interview date, very soon your family will be reunited .

Walter has the interview soon, so let's wish them "Good luck" and of course we gonna get good news from him.

Mammimaus2007, I really hope you'll get news soon. Go with Wacken's advice and send an email.

Mephibosheth, where are you? we miss you and we die to know what's new

Thank you MayDas & Wacken, I will write them a Email the first week of July and hope we will get good News soon.

But then again why shouldn't we get good News my first marriage was a real marriage and I have tons of proof for that, we just didn't work out.
This Marriage we are already together and married since 6 years and have a child together and we are not criminals and I surrendered residency in the USA. never overstayed, never broke a law

But everybody worries with immigration stuff

I'm here and there's nothing new, except that I applied for a job at McDonalds, cause finances are running out and I just missed McD calling back. I guess I'll send another email tomorrow to see if Frankfurt want's to tell me anything.

11 days til the interview.. that's fast !!

blessings to y'all

M

Mammimaus2007, you will be just fine, 6 years marriage and a child are good proofs of a bona fide relationship

Mephibosheth, good to hear from you .....good luck with the job, you gonna go easier through this process if you keep yourself busy working

oh I'm getting insane, just received Mail from the Consulate about my daughters claim of US Citizenship through her Father (Deadbead) South Carolina is sooooo strickt we can't get his Birth Certificate which is needed for the process. Now the Konsul will try to get it if that wont work than they can't issue my daughter the Passport even so they know she has the birthright on it and all papers proof it :0( then I would have to apply for a Visa for her

Great how are we supposed to do that? we already filed our immigration without her on it, does anybody know how to add a child after the papers are already turned in?

Call USCIS Frankfurt 06975352233, explain them the situation and they gonna tell you for sure what you have to do. Good luck Mammimaus2007

That is lame, Mammimaus2007. Were you able to call them yet? I hope it all works out.

Did you get any response to your e-mail yet, Mephibosheth? Anything new about the job? I hope you find something soon. I know exactly how much "fun" the job search can be.

My husband finally got Packet 4 today. Yay! 7:30am next Monday.

Wacken, what a feeling to have packet 4 into your hands it's coming fast that interview yahoooooo

Walter & Claudia had the interview today.....I am waiting for that APPROVED

APPROVED

*FINALLY* we've made it through the process!!

Thanks for remembering us, Adriana! I'm going to post a top-level post with the details.

Walter

Congrats!!!!!

And another DCFiler Frankfurt had a success.......who's next? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, Wacken

5 more days! Eep.

I hope your I-130 is approved within the next 2 weeks, Mephibosheth!

Good luck getting everything packed and ready, WalterG. I hope your job rocks and your wife and kids love their new life in the States!

Oh Wacken, I bet you count down the days

Good luck for the rest of DCFilers

Tomorrow is the day! We just did one last run through of what he needs to take. I am glad he decided against the train and borrowed a car to go down there instead. Die Bahn is going on strike tomorrow starting in Dortmund of all places.

Good luck tomorrow my friend, let's hear that BIG APPROVED from you .....

Hehe, he is so nervous. He has read through the reviews and knows it isn't that difficult, but still, I guess it is a little overwhelming.

Well, only like 9 or so more hours to go.

He he he I can still remember the last hours before the interview .....but tomorrow what a joy it is gonna be

Good Luck today WACKEN can't wait to hear about how your interview went

we are still waiting for the approval of our I-130

He was approved!!!!!!! WOO HOO!!!

let's do all of us the approval dance
Congratulations for you two .....what a great feeling, isn't it ?

woohooo wooohooo

[size="6"][/size]CONCRATULATIONS

Thanks you guys!

My husband was so worked up and nervous. Then this morning he told me it was no big deal afterall. There weren't that many people at the embassy when he got there. Everything went smoothly. He said the woman at the interview window asked about me as in she had remembered me from all the e-mails. She told him to expect the visa to arrive within 8 days and that was that. He is exhausted now as he was too nervous and excited and etc to sleep last night, so I will ask him some more questions about it later.

I love this forum soooooo much. Couldn't do it without you all.

I hope both you, Mammimaus, and Mephistobeth hear that your I-130s have been approved soon! Did you ever get the visa problem with your daughter figured out?

In 3 days he will have the visa in the mail, I bet a beer Wacken

we are still working on my daughter. the Consul has now written a letter as far as I understood to the Bureau of Vital Statistics.

My daughters father has never done a thing for her so his reaction on this one really doesn't suprise me at all and if it shouldn't work out at all, I will sue him as soon as I am in the states

Gosh, I hope you hear some good news soon about your daughter. Sucks that her father is such a deadbeat.

Keep us updated.

Mephibosheth, you should be next with good news, your petition must be approved this July
Mammimaus2007, hope the status of your child will be clarified and you do not need to apply for her too.

Wacken, stop celebrating when your husband planning on moving to the States?

Haha, well, we don't know exactly. He still has to buy the ticket and we are still a little fuzzy on the exact dates. We think sometime in mid-late Sept when the ticket prices drop. Beyond the expense, there is just a lot of things he still needs to finish up before he leaves, though easier to do with all of the visa crap done and out of the way. I will let you all know when he has gotten his ticket.

He got the visa in the mail today. Yay!

Awesome, that fas fast. Now you guys are all set to go

Wacken, I am waiting for my beer

hi...

no nothing happening here
McD didn't give me a job... now we're just waiting
July 23rd will be 90 days from when the case started, so I really should hear by then according to their own words....

sigh

I'm not stopping in the forum so often currently cause I need to take my mind of the process..l. otherwise I'd go crazy
I'll be sure to tell when we get news

Oh .... and congrats Walter and Wacken ))))))))))))
