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!

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!

Hi good & bad news here: another VISA appointment arrived here (Germany/Frankfurt consulate). Interview date is pretty late (for my taste, on average here in Germany it seemed like before July most people got an interview within 3-5 weeks). Interview date is Sept. 26th, DQ was June 28th. I sent a request for expedition. We'll see if it helps in any sort of way..

Same situation here: got DQd June 28 and case still hasn't left NVC! I wonder if it would make sense to request an expedite?

When they talk about to bring "prove" to the interview, all have to do is print out the confirmation page from the consulate registration with document delivery address I assume? on this page: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/FRN-Frankfurt.html#document_checklist "For Immigrant Visa Applicants PROOF OF DOCUMENT DELIVERY ADDRESS: Please remember to include a copy of your address registration confirmation page with the other documents that you send to the Consulate before your interview."

Hi everyone, I am currently waiting for my Interview at the US consulate in Frankfurt/Germany and I have to register my document delivery address with them (https://ustraveldocs.com/de/de-iv-documentdelivery.asp). For the rest of my time here in Germany, me and my family are living at a different address than what was specified in the DS260. Does that "matter" which address I specify there or should the address specified in DS260 and the document delivery address be the same? For example it is different than my registered address in Germany. Thanks for any help!

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.

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 :).

Congratulations to you as well. I wish you good luck through the rest of the process! We haven't gotten an invitation for the interview yet :P.

yes thank you! You're right, we got approved on Friday. We turned in the new documents on April 19th. So you guys should hear from them Monday or Tuesday I guess? I am keeping my finger crossed for you guys! If everything works out 100% onwards from now I might still be able to bring my daughter to her first school day ;). We didn't get another message which said that we should consider getting a joint sponsor even though we're doing an asset only approach. Maybe they didn't do that as they already sent us this message with the last RFE.

So.. we finally got DC'd yay! - we did not apply for expedition - we did get at the end of the line again - apparently the documents we uploaded were sufficient so now onwards to the interview (which has not been scheduled yet)...

Hi, So... We have submitted our AoS using an assets only approach (this thread, if anyone is interested). With our assets we are very comfortably over the 3x min. income requirement. We just got two notes though, timestamped identically: Case FE Review Note 1: This case does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants. To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 from a joint sponsor may be submitted. For more information visit https://nvc.state.gov/aos. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p. Case FE Review Note 2: Please submit XXXXX's Evidence of Income. For more information, visit https://nvc.state.gov/fin. Our Status for AoS now reads: "Paid, Accepted". So We are not sure how to interpret the review notes now.. Is submitting the above (income or/and joint sponsor) still optional and we can just wait until the DS-260 is accepted as well to get an interview appointment? Do we HAVE to submit anything now in order to proceed? As we don't have a US based income (yet), we cannot submit anything regarding note2 ... Would submitting a Joint Sponsor delay the case or help? Would we simply bring a completed form to the interview or do they want you to submit it online first? Should we bring a completed joint sponsor application to the interview "just in case"? I have read in the following thread that this seems to be normal. But I am not sure if this still applies to us as well. Our interview would be in Germany.
