The pick up location emails you. And I believe they are closed on Saturday. I am also guessing the public holiday on Thursday has an impact on the timeline

I still have not received email from them when i can pick up my passport and im flying back to Thailand on the 5th im kinda worried i will not get my passport back on time . Do you know how i can contact them?

We got the message that it is „issued“ on Wednesday and we’re able to pick it up on Monday. So once it is issued, the passport is sent to the pick up location. once the pick up location receives is, the will email the necessary pick up information to you and you can pick it up the next day

Thank you so much! my visa is issued on wednesday on the tracker but i have not received any emails from the consulate so i guess i might have to wait till Monday and see when i can pick up

We just received the notification "issued" on our tracker. How long did it take you to get passports? We chose the pick-up close to the Consulate and have yet to receive the email notification which would allow us to pick it up. How long did others have to wait?

 

I would love to hear from anyone who has done the same.

 

I just received the notification  issued on the tracker . So how long did it take till i can go pick up my passport? I have not received any email

Have you filled that out? We just got the instructions of packet 3, but I don’t have an intended travel date yet because I don’t know how long the whole process takes. 

Yes i did fill

Yes, yes. I understand that. That’s awesome and I’m so happy for you! 
I just wanted to ask how it was when you first sent your documents, the I-130. Because my husband and I sent our documents April, 29 and it arrived at the consulate April, 30. I haven’t heard anything yet. So my question was, before you got approved after 5 days, did you receive an email that they got your documents or did they just send the approval? 😊

They will not email you that they have received your docs they only email you when they approved you

Hey! Did you get an email from the consulate after they received your documents? Or did you just get the email about the approval after sending your docs? Thanks! 

I got everything done , i have my interview on the 20th of may " next week"  so everything is going well

Hi!For packet 3, where do I get this?

 

"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."

 

Thank you so much for your answers!

 

Hi for packet 3

Thank you so much , im about to start doing package 3 , i dont have german resident or anything but i sent my shengen visa and my military id card for spouse with the i-130 form and got approved 4 days after they received

Okay! Good luck. It seems like military service members do not have the same requirements. I hope your I-130 is approved soon and you do not have any issues. 

 

Hi my i-130 form got approved today after 5 days the consulate received that was fast! I would like to know there is a blank as i attached the pic for date of proposed do i have to fill and send email back ?

Hi there

I am in a similar situation to the woman from Thailand. I am an American/Eu Citizen with registration in Germany(not military). My wife is Bosnian and is currently in Bosnia. I emailed the embassy and they said I could apply for direct filing and i would need a registration certificate showing that i live in germany but nowhere it says that my wife ALSO has to be living in Germany. She has a 10 year multiple entry Schenguen Visa so, coming to do her Medical and Interview will not be a problem.

My question is , is it written anywhere that BOTH the applicant and the spouse must live in the jurisdiction of the embassy? Since the embassy only asked for MY registration cert in germany and not my wifes im a little hesitant.

 

Danke /Thank you

You both have to live in germany , for my case i dont live in germany but my husband is in The U.S military  , it only works for U.S military service members only

Okay! Good luck. It seems like military service members go through a different route. I hope your I-130 is approved and you do not have any issues. 

 

Thank you ! Im still praying i do not have any issues lol still scared it will not get approved though im like 50/50 % but i hope everything is going well

If Frankfurt approves your petition, where do you expect to have your medical and interview? 

Yea they approved my husband to do it due to my husband is in military , i think i might have to have medical and interview in Germany im not sure , i got few friends who done this and they dont live in germany they either do medical and interview in germany or do it in thailand like got approved i130 form by frankfurt but interview in thailand... but this case only works for military members only..

On 2/12/2022 at 9:34 PM, rebeclyna said:

After they approve your request by email, they will give you instructions and an address to mail the first packet to. You will need to send the approval email with the first packet.

Hi i mailed my docs to the embassy by dhl and it says The recipient has a post office box. The item has been ready for pick-up since 07.03.2022. Does that mean they have received my docs?  
thanks 

Just now, cyndallita said:

Does the US embassy in frankfurt know that you are in thailand? Because they can actually say that you can send in your I-130 but only then will they know that you live in Thailand and not in Germany. So it could be in vain.

Yes they know,  my husband wrote in the email that i dont live in germany i live in thailand and we got approved.

U can ask friends or relatives from US to send you a check. But as for me, my husband came there first so he already had a bank account set up there and brought back the check to Germany when he got back to Germany. You can also try to ask from your German bank. You have to contact your German bank account for that

And then you mail a check with the first package to the consulate right?

Note that the member you are responding to lives in Thailand, but for some reason thinks that they can apply for DCF in Germany.

 

I live in thailand and my husband is active duty he can do DCF in germany for me , he got approved by The U.S consulate frankfurt by email that they accept a Form I-130 filed by a qualified U.S. military service member for any immediate relative case. And has given us instructions for the i-130 form

I think I brought it but I don’t think it was needed. 
Also, I got all my original paperwork back at the end of the Interview. However, you need to leave your passport there so they can put the provisional visa in there. I will have my passport delivered tomorrow (i.e. a week later). 

All paperwork has to be original? Can it be copy?
