We got married on June 3rd 2020. So on June 3rd 2022 that will be our 2 year anniversary.
 
She entered United States on May 10th 2022. (I know I need to update my timeline. Sorry been very busy.)
 
This is the verbatim instructions
"The petition must be filed within the 90-day period immediately preceding the second anniversary of the date you were granted conditional permanent residence status."
 
What is confusing the hell out of us is that another person who very recently entered United States on the same visa. Is under the impression that this means 90 days BEFORE THE MARRIAGE ANNIVERSARY. Supposedly this is what the Consular Officer who interviewed them told them. Seems absurd. What if you enter 7 days before the anniversary. 
 
Just wanted to double check. This means we have until 90 days before the 2 year period after which she entered expires. Is that correct?
 
So May 10th 2024 her conditional permanent residency will expire. And if in the 90 day period PRIOR TO THAT I do not file to have that conditional status removed. She will basically be illegal.
 
Am I understanding this correctly? 

Looks like they added 2 doctor locations. New one's in Munich and Hamburg.

1) The Frankfurt embassy replies pretty fast if you email them. But you have to format it properly. Otherwise they will literally delete your email.

C22 - UKRAINE - FULL NAME. 
 
As the title of the email sent to FrankfurtVisaInquiries@state.gov . Obviously change FULL NAME to your actual name. Also don't forget the dashes. I did and had my email deleted (never answered).
 
2) Frankfurt and Berlin medical office is booked for months. Berlin even longer than Frankfurt.
 
Good news is Ukrainians can do their medical "anywhere in Europe". The reason I put quotations around anywhere in Europe is because that is verbatim the instructions I was given. Whether that means continental Europe or European Union I'm not 100% sure. 
 
BE CAREFUL not every doctor that has available slots is capable of doing medicals outside of their region.

For example I booked with this doctor in Paris https://english-doctor-paris.com/visa-medicals/usa-visa-en-imm and ended up having to go to Austria instead. Because the doctor in Paris is not allowed to take appointments from customers who are not processing in Paris. 
 
Best thing to do is to call the doctor office ahead of time and ask them directly if they can do Ukrainian visa's.
 
3) I got an email from NVC saying that my case was transferred to Frankfurt. And that I should wait for them to contact me about an appointment.

I waited about 2 weeks. Then came across the information about long waits for the medical. I sent them an email clarifying whether we could indeed do a medical anywhere in Europe.
 
They replied with standard documentation. Part of that documentation included information on how to make an interview appointment. Thus not only did I get an answer about the medical but somewhat sped up the process of making an interview appointment. 
 
I don't know if I just got lucky and they were going to email me that information soon anyway. Take that information for what it is. Your experience may be different.
4) I got an email from NVC stating "Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have to cancel this interview. We will schedule a new interview appointment as soon as possible and notify you of the date and time. There is no need for you to take action at this time."
 
I emailed Frankfurt about it and they said it was sent mistakenly and that my appointment was still good. NVC doesn't actually schedule your appointment the embassy/consulate does. 
Again don't assume if you got that message that it is automatically a mistake. It just was in my experience.

That doc is the key. If you select the specific section for Ukrainians. You will get this.....
 
  I sent an email to Frankfurtvisainquiries@state.gov that was not properly formatted. Waited 3 weeks. Only to find out that if its not properly formatted it will get auto deleted by their system   Send them an email with exactly this as the subject line   C22 - UKRAINE - FULL NAME. 

(where FULL NAME is your FIRST and LAST name)   When formatted properly they answer pretty quickly. Mine was deleted because I didn't have the dashes. Yes it's that stupid....
