K1 Visa Germany Frankfurt - feeling overwhelmed on how to proceed

[jmariev 0]

Hey guys,

 

I'm a big worrywart, so I really want to make sure we are doing this right and I keep overthinking things, because there's ton of information on the internet that ends up overwhelming me.

My fiance and I have gotten our petition approved on the 5th of January this year. They told us to give them at least 30 days to send the case number, we waited 30 days and contacted them. They told us it actually takes up to 60 days, so we should contact them again later. After 2 months, we reached out by inquiry and they gave us our case number per E-Mail. We proceeded to fill out the DS-160 recently and I've printed out the confirmation page since I know this one is crucial for the interview in Frankfurt. We were thinking that we now need to register on a website to pay another VISA fee. I'm finding it hard to know what to do next since embassys all over the world handle it differently and I'd appreciate advice from people who also had their interview in Frankfurt, Germany since we've been quite stressed and overwhelmed.

How do we proceed from here?

What documents will we need for the interview (already started collecting a few things, but I just want to make sure I've got it right), any other documents I might need to send them before the interview takes places? Or do I just collect documents now for the interview?

I really appreciate everyone's input here and I know these questions get repetitive, so I'm sorry for that!

Thank you guys in advance

Frankfurt will send a letter with all the information to the beneficiary once they're ready for you. At least back in 2019 it included a form that needed to be filled out and sent back together with the latest tax return transcript from the sponsor. Only after that is sent in they'll get back to you telling you to schedule the interview,  fill out the DS 160 and pay the fee.

You can bring updated evidence of your relationship but that's pretty much all that is needed.
