US Immigration from Germany

Hi, I am trying to schedule an appointment for a J1-Exchange Visa and I have filled in a DS160 Form as the instructions say and than wanted to book an appointment. I logged in to my account and went to the page new appointment. I have filled in informations about which embassy and visa type I want to book an appointment for and then got to a page where I should write my passport information as well as the DS160 confirmation number, Sevis ID and project number. I copy paste the confirmation number from my confirmation letter in the mail and clicked next but as soon as that I got an error message saying that "The DS-160 number you entered is incorrect. Please try again." Had anyone here the same issue or knows how I can solve this problem? I have contacted the support 08938036830 but the employer there just said to try it again on Monday. Do you know if there is a technical support team for this? Any help would be really great. Thank you. (I have attached the screenshot of the page here also)

My fianc and I are putting together the packet to send to the Frankfurt consulate for the K-1 visa interview. As part of it, we are trying to register the document delivery address on US Travel Docs, but following the instructions in P3 and on the US Travel Docs website we are lead to a page where we have to select the visa type and there is no K1 option (New Application/Schedule appointment > Immigrant Visa > Immigrant Visa Delivery Registration). Wondering if others have encountered this and how they resolved it?

This is more or less a duplication of this post below but it looks like they never got an answer, wasn't sure if resurrecting that post was the right thing to do or not.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hey all,

My fianc and I are a bit confused about when exactly we are allowed to schedule the interview for her K-1 visa at the consulate in Frankfurt. We were originally operating under the assumption that she needed to receive P3, send the consulate the requested documents, and then she would be issued/would be able to schedule an interview date after they reviewed the documents. However, I've seen other posts/sources saying that you can go to ustraveldocs and schedule an interview once your CEAC status is "ready" (ours has been since May 27th, it has been updated multiple times since then as well based on the date listed but always shows "ready"). Is this something that is only allowed at other consulates? Is this something only Ukrainians are allowed to do (my fianc is a German citizen and most of the newer info I see about Frankfurt only pertains to Ukrainian cases)?

I've reached out the the consulate for clarification but thought it would be worth posting on here as well.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I submitted my K3 application months ago on behalf of my husband. I received a notice of receipt from USCIS shortly thereafter, which contained an error: My birthdate was incorrect. I checked my submission, and I filled it out correctly on my submission.

1. I opened up a ticket via "Correct a Typographical Error" in the portal and was given a ticket number with an estimated waiting time of 3 weeks. Three weeks comes and goes, no action. I wrote the USCIS chat and they told me to wait another week.

2. No action after a week. I wrote them again, and then I was issued a second ticket number and an additional month of wait time, zero action.

3. I inquired again now that a month has passed, and they told me to open up a new ticket via the portal. No answer on what happened with the last two.

I'm starting to get really frustrated. Am I going about this the wrong way? It would take an individual 10 seconds to adjust the error, and here I am waiting 2.5 months. Thanks for any insight.

Hey there helpful community,

I need advice or suggestions:

Here is my our story in short.

Filed K1, approved, moved to the US, got married, got my 2 yrs. green card.

4 months before my green card expired I moved back home and my wife and I went back to long distance for personal reasons.

I send my green card back in with the right form, explaining the situation (and that I won't be able to spend 181 days in the US) and that we would continue our journey in about 2-3 yrs.

I dient know about the re-entry permit, so didn't ask for it.

Now I applied for ESTA to see her, but got denied. My status hasn't changed yet? How long does it take in general?

And now I am worried that we won't be able to apply for an IR1 in 1,5/2 yrs.

Any suggestions/advice?

What would be best for us?

Thanks in advance.
