Ljandjl - I was just at the Frankfurt Embassy on the 20th of June, and they accept both USD and Euros. I paid in Euros.

Ok, that's good to know! I guess it depends on who you talk to - I must have gotten someone that was having a rough day

[GlobeHopperMama 95]

Hey, I'm officially part of the club. I-130 filed at Seoul on July 2. Now we wait...

Hi,

I got my interview on July 12th, only 43 days after NOA1! Getting a bit nervous now as my husband left yesterday for the US, to find apartment and start his new job... it's getting closer but still feels so far away!

Good Luck to you all and be strong while waiting... We will all get there!

Ugh........85 days since NOA1 & still no word. I'm trying to be patient, but I'm leaving Germany in 7 weeks & it would be nice if my husband could come with me - or at least if we knew when he'd be coming! With the 4th, etc I'm sure we won't get anything this week either.

I'm glad the others are moving right along, just wish I was part of that club

Only 5 more days for you. I think with frankfurt everyone just has to wait their turn. 90 days... then another 30 or so until the interview... I think your husband will be able to go with you as long as you have all your papers in order.

We had our interview on Friday! I just tracked the package we're waiting on... And it came TODAY! Right when we were walking the dog! Can you believe it?! We're going to try to pick it up this afternoon from the office. Fingers Crossed!

Note to everyone that has to use the new DHL labels... Track your package and be home when they come, cause I guess you have to sign for it.

Good luck everyone!

CONGRATULATIONS! How perfect that it came on the 4th of July

We decided to terminate our apartment least, which requires a 90 day notice - so we have it through September & if for some crazy reason he's still here I guess he'll stay with friends...Still a lot to do, like selling everything we own, but at least we're making progress, albeit extremely slowly. Patience was never my strong suit.

Patience is not my strongest side either, I called USCIS office in Bangkok after 2 weeks of waiting.. I know thats being very impatient! They told us that they approved our I-130 and sent it to US Embassy the day after we submitted our documents. But we still haven't received the official NOA2 letter.

For us, USCIS has been really help full more than we could ask for, so try to call them and see whats happening.

I just hope that when I get to the embassy in Bangkok I will get the same feeling, but so far, they are not anwering e-mails. But as soon as you get your NOA2, everything will move fast!

Good luck!

GirlWithAGerman: Woo-hoo! So glad your wait is finally over!

ljandjl: We need to sell all our furniture, too. It's gonna be such a headache... I hope you get your NOA2 soon!

DK - where are you? We in the Franken region & there's a great English speaking "buy sell swap" group on facebook - we've gotten rid of a lot of stuff already from that site alone! You might want to see if there's something similar in your area!

I'm about 30 minutes SE of Frankfurt. I would definitely try to see if I can find a similar type of FB group..... How did you find yours? I am already thinking of how difficult it would be for me to try and sell everything since my German is mediocre at best (and my husband's spelling in German is horrible, lol!)

Thanks for the heads up.

[ljandjl 1]

No problem - a coworker of my husband's let us know about the group. We've had some luck with Toytowngermany.com as well - all in all, we've gotten rid of almost 1/2 our things in about a week, so I'm pretty pleased!

I just discovered toytown about 2 hours ago. I can't believe I've lived in Germany for 5 years without it! It would have made my transition/life here so much easier...
