Hi.

 

my situation is the following:

 

- I got DQ'd last week

- I called the four official German doctors available for the medical exam upfront, but I am only able to get an appointment already next week in Munich. Otherwise I would have to wait until October for an appointment, which is crazy.

- I might not have the invitation letter (I think you only get an email these days? nothing written?) for the medical exam yet, but the doctor only states they need the "case number issued by the consulate".

 

So my question now is: is the case number issued by the consulate the same as the one issued by NVC? If that's not the case. What would I do? Any poeple here who have more experience with the Frankfurt consulate and medical exam in Germany? thank you so much :).

yes,  NVC issues the embassy case # / should start with FRN for Frankfort

While this is correct, it is also worth noting that when the visa is issued, the expiration date will be six months from the date of the medical exam.  If that date precedes the interview, a new medical exam will be needed before issue.

but visa is not issued till the medical gets to the embassy so this case will be refused while in AP waiting for the medical exam papers to get there

Huh?  I warning not to get the medical exam too early.  The medical can expire before the interview, making it useless.

In Germany on average you seem to get your interview within 30-40 days. So Oct. appointment would be way too late for me. On their webpage the doctors write that "because of the situation, Germany consulate also accepts medical after the interview" But That would be too late for me.

If this is correct, then go for medical asap. No point in having medical after the interview just to extend the visa issuance time.

Hi! I am already in the US now and everything worked as expected. I went to the medical without the interview letter. In fact i went there without even having gotten the invitation. So they send my information to the embassy even though i didnt bave an appointment yet. But it did not seem to be a problem. The consulate hat my medial information already there when I was there for the interview!

of course! ..  So that was a bit chaotic. We still don't know 100% why. Might be due to refugees and student visas being process. here the timeline:

 

- DQ to interview appointement:   1 month

- DQ to medical:   2 weeks

- rescheduilng appointement: 2 tries (first time consulate did not respond to email, second time they responded within 1 day) and after two weeks we were able to reschedule (get a 2 weeks earlier appointement date).

- from appointement to interview:   original 2 months, after rescheduling 1.5 months

- from interview to visa package received:   4 days

 

I also updated our timeline to the newest state :).

 

This whole process was MUCH longer than expected. I saw a lot of poeple going from DQ to interview in just about 1 month. For us it took 2.5 months. Probably due to a variety of reasons. I wish you guys good luck with everything!

Thank you so much for that info. It really helps get an idea of the timespan in which we could calculate. 
The refugees coming over to Frankfurt is bound to push wait times a bit out.

I ended up getting my medical done already as well because I was lucky enough to get an appointment. The next one available showed up as November 30th.

 

as long as they don’t take so long that my medical expires by then I’ll be fine with waiting.
