    Oh, I called them about it and apparently they have no information about him at all and said it could take as long as five months. #######?

    What? that is usually with Newborn Registrations like that. How long was everyone else here waiting for their social? in that one book it states it two, it takes 14 days,my first Social in Texas I also received after 10 days.

    I have a quick question Mammimaus ... what exactly did they do at your POE? How long did it take? I am already looking at flights and wonder how long my layover has to be at the POE, as I will have to book a connection flight.

    The guy at the consulate said that it might take longer than usual. But he didn' sound too sure about it and couldn't tell me how much longer than getting through immigration as a tourist.

    Good luck on house hunting. Can't wait to start that as well in Austin! :-)) Enjoy FL! :-)

    Hey all, I madeit to Florida. Flying with CONDOR and 2 children wasn't a good idea LOL,I was like sooooooo stressed out and tired, POE was Orlando and why in the world did I had to take the huge XRay envelope with me? nobody wants it at the POE it's with me @the Hotel now LOL

    My hubby already has a great job and we are house hunting, we already love Ocala :0)

    Hi there,

    POE in Orlando took ca. 30 minutes. I went thru the US Citizen & Residents showed them my German Passport with the Visa I-551 & my girls US Passports. He asked me how I am related to those children LOL DUH I am their Mother LOL, he looked @ my Passport I handed him the Big unopend envelope and my X-Ray. He handed the X-Ray back to me and told me to go to the office on the right sit down and wait for fingerprinting. I was so tired but oh well it has to be done. I received a welcome to the USA verbaly had to sign some papers and gave 2 fingerprints and was done.

    @Wacken: Don't you think you should go to your local Social Security Department since 4 weeks seems a little long. It says on the paper if you haven't received you SSN# Card withinn 14 days contact us in person. They willbe able to see what happend and if the Card has been lost in the mail they will tell you your number and will send you a replacement card.

    BY THE WAY...

    people looking for cheap flights... www.condor.de has really cheap ones and they are the only ones apart from icelandair that I know of, who sell cheaper oneway tickets

    we bought tickets for the 5th of September for 379 Euro per person (one way, all included) from Frankfurt to Vancouver (Canada) .. then we'll take the car across the border

    We paid 597 Euros for 3 Persons from Frankfurt to Orlando including all Fees and Taxes meaning 199 Euros per person. BUT Condor has small seats, you have to buy your earphones to watch a movie and you have to pay for snacks LOL, the food wasn't that great :0( but hey it was cheap so I wont complain

    Well since I red "THE SECRET"a whole lot of amazing things are happening to us LOL I think it is because we are finally going the RIGHT way!!!!

    With the flight, I don't know WHAT made me check on the Price for that specific day again, the days before the flight was 1050 Euros for the 3 of us and all in the sudden they had a one day special and only 3 Seats available 597 Euros I couldn't believe it myselfe. My Mom now worries that this might be a very old Airplane LOL

    About my Hubby, I think he has the Job :dancing: they way he was talking about it how the interview went, they asked him if he is also interested in Management and told him about the Bonus after 3 month and took the Background check info down to get it done Quick and on Tuesday they want him to come back so they can show him the whole Warehouse and introduce him to the Managers, doesn't that sound like he has the job?

    @julchenno I'm so happy for you, I didn't like the idea to be seperated from my hubby for long either Good Luck @the interview

    I can't wait to sit in the plane and arrive @the POE get that over with and HUG my husband.

    hallo julchenno, no your husband does not have to be there on the day of the interview.

    if you already had your medical then your interview shouldn't be to far in the future :0), don't be as nervous as we had been LOL there is really nothing to be worried about.

    Hi Mammimaus,

    that is super awesome! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! That was really quickly. I hope my case proceeds that fast as well. Your description puts my hopes up as well. Especially your time line! ;-)) Just one quick question: the husband does not have to be there, right? Do you know if I can bring someone else as "mental support"?

    I had my medical exam in Dortmund today. It went super smooth and I can only recommend the panel physician in Dortmund. Everybody in that office was super nice and things went well. :-)

    :D

    Ok here its is, my Frankfurt interview experience :yes:

    Frankfurt is aproximatly 45 minutes away from us and my interview appointment was @8:00am so of course we left the house @6am :lol: (never know if you get into a traffic jam)

    We (my hubby, my oldest daughter & me) arrived there like an hour to early so we went to Mc Donalds for 30 minutes and walked to the Konsulat to line up (a huge line) a Officer came and asked "whi is here for a VISA interview?"so everybody with a interview raised their hands and where asked to step to the side and all the way in front of the line :yes: Cool so we don't have to wait until the other 100 people get in first LOL.

    He gave us a ticket, I had Number W502 :yes:

    then we were asked to step in the security check point room (always 4 people only) take of your watch, a belt if you where one, hand them your purse etc. then walk through that whatever it's called thingy LOL take your stuff and proceed to the next building.

    The first thing I had to do was taking my Dumbo Passport pics (which are cheaper @ the Consulate then outside!!!! 6 Euros for 4, in Aschaffenburg they cost you 12 Euros)

    Then my number was called for Window 23 to turn in my Passport, my DS 230 Pt II (NOT SIGNED!!!) the Lady handed me a big brown envelope and told me while I wait for the next Window to put the stamps on the envelope and to put my mailing address on it. Then she handed me a green Letter with instructions how to have my Documents in order. I did the stamps part & the Address the rest I already did @home.

    My number got called again for I think it was Window 17 but I wont lay my hand in fire for it LOL. The LAdy was absolutly nice and friendly, she asked me if I want to have the interview in german or in english, I replied in english due to my husband not understanding any german. She told me the order of the Documents she would ike to have one copy and the original, handed me the originals back, then she explained me the SSN thing but said ÿou already know that right?" yes I did since I lived almost 6 years in the states :yes: she handed me a Guide for New Immigrants "Welcome to the United States" wished us luck in the states and to take a seat for our final and actual interview with a Consular Officer.

    After a few minutes of waiting my number got called again and we again had a very nice & frindly Officer. He told me that my papers are all in order and when we met, my husband grint and replied September 11th 2001 :yes::luv: the Officer had to grin to because of the date but that is in fact the first time we where talking LOL

    The we were asked were we intend to live and I replied first North Carolina and then we are going to Florida the Officer smiled and said he is from North Carolina and only a hour away from my hubbys hometown lol. He took my Fingerprints, had me sighn the DS 230 pt II explained me about the envelope and NOT to open it, also about the missing corner being normal and so on, then he wanted to know if I have any Questions I said No and he told me my Visa will arrive within a week as certified mail :thumbs:

    SO I AM APPROVED!!!!!! :dance::dance::dance: woohooo

    I'm flying CONDOR too because it will only cost me 640 EUROS for me and the 2 girls together inkl. TAX, well I have to add 10 Euro for one Kids Meal because Condor is charging you for Kids Meals or Seat reservations but that don't matter.

    By the way!!!! I got approved yesterday :dance::dance: it went totally smooth and I was worrying for nothing LOL I will write a Experience report next.

    thank you so much. I already went over all of my papers again today and let me tell you I actually need a moving box LOL no just kidding, I thought I am taking along all of the cards we wrote each other and the Photo Album.

    One thing is on my mind bothering me big time but I hope it won't be a problem at the interview. My Co-Sponsor send everything required and she makes almost douple the required Poverty Guideline required, I have her recent Tax Return, her Birth Certificate, she also receives Retirement from her past away husband every month, so we also have that paperwork which is also in the Tax Return and she made well above Poverty in all three most recent Tax years the problem is she just send her most recent Paycheck stop and didn't see that she supposed to send six!!! Do you think that might be a Problem? if yes, could she Fax the 5 others?

    I am a nerve wrack currently LOL.

    Concratulations to your new Job MaydayDas
