Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)Obtaining documents questions - Germany
He should have gotten a signed and stamped release paper also noting his conduct and service time for the conscripted period. Suppose that otherwise the Kreiswehrersatzamt will provide additional papers. Otherwise just call the embassy as to what they need. Personally intend to simply bring a certified copy of the aforementioned release papers.

Moin,

kann es sein das es sich beim ominösen Packet 3 um ein einfaches Schreiben handelt mit Verweis auf die Internetseite des Konsulats und keine Formulare & Checkliste mitgeschickt werden?

This post is from bloody 2006 and pertains to issues pertaining to Germany/ the German ambassy, english would be counterproductive - just as the other posts you carpetbomb with your comment.

Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)Impfungen
Bin zwar immer noch unsicher was die Röteln Impfung angeht (sieht etwas seltsam aus im Impfbuch) aber der Arzt meint es sei so in Ordnung. Werde zum Medical in Hamburg gehen, der Vertragsarzt soll ja nicht unbedingt einen Titer für Windpocken verlangen, mal schauen obs so klappt.

Werde morgen meine Impfungen auffrischen lassen. Wie schauts aus wenn der Arzt bei der Untersuchung meint das doch noch was fehlt, knallt der einem dort gleich eine Spritze rein oder muss ich nochmal zu einem anderen Arzt laufen?

Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)Bericht Medical 16.10. Hamburg
Ist eigentlich nichts worum man sich sorgen machen müsste.

Die Praxis ist ab U-Bahnhof Klosterstern in ca 2 Minuten zu erreichen. Reisepass, Impfpass, Casenumber und 125eur Gebühr mitbringen (bezahlt wird am Schluss). Erstmal Formulare ausfüllen, dann ein wenig gewartet und es ging mit Blutabnahme los. Dann zur Urinabgabe und nach ein wenig mehr warten Treppe hoch zur Röntgenaufnahme. Habe dann ein wenig länger gewartet da es mit dem vorherigen Patienten länger gedauert hat. Beim Arzt dann einmal den Fragebogen abgeklopft (ca 5 Minuten), Impungen geprüft (MMR Auffrischung fehlte, wurde dort auf Kassenkarte noch nachgeimpft), Für Windpocken hat "Habs als ich 4 war gehabt". Abschliessend einen Strip bis auf die Unterhose hingelegt, alles abhören, Blutdruck messen, Organe abtasten und Rachen ausleuchten. Das wars dann schon. Gab dann noch das Röntgenbild und nachdem die Arzthelferin daran erinnert wurde auch die Kopie das Vaccination Sheets. hat insgesamt mit doch einiger Warterei ca 90 Minuten gedauert.

Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)Interviewtermin Frankfurt
Bei mir sind es knapp über 2 Wochen zwischen Pack 4 und Interview.

Denke die "Date of Proposed Travel" Angabe auf der Check List wird soweit möglich in Betracht gezogen.

Versuch sonst einfach schonmal eine Email an die zu schicken und zu fragen ob es generell möglich ist den Interview Termin sehr kurzfristig zu legen. Auf meine Anfragen wurde schnell geantwortet.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionK1 Pack Three question 33a
About the question "have you had a SSN" well ofcourse not. But do I want to answer "yes" on if I want to have one assigned? huh.gif

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionwhich forms does one send back to the embassy ?
Best to just ask. Mine wanted DS230, 156, 156k and 157 returned by mail immediately and the checklist once I have all the stuff gathered.

To play it safe I'll bring copies of all the documents to the interview as well.

Don't have my forms in front of me, but I answered those questions with Yes and a short sentence stating I will arrive on a K1 visa, will get married in the US and complete the AOS in order to be permitted to work.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionInterview Frankfurt - how much postage?
To answer my own question, old posts elsewhere stated 4.25€ as postage for the selfaddressed envelope for the visa. As per Post.de this correlates to the current price of an A4 registered letter with max 1000g weight.

I'd rather come prepared and have the stamps with me instead of maybe finding the vending machine at the embassy broken that day.

so, how much should I bring?

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionK1 interview passport kept?
Dumb question,

had a successfull K1 interview in Frankfurt earlier in the day.

Now noticed that they apparently kept my passport there. Is this correct or did something go wrong there and I should have gotten it back?

wrote "N/A" next to the boxes and got an interview appointment, so it can't have been disastrously wrong to have done so.

After two weeks just received the big brown envelope containing the visa packet and presumably my passport in it.

Now I wonder, what am I supposed NOT to open. This envelope it came in? Or am I right in believing I may open that one but not the other envelope with the missing corner which is inside?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNEW PROCESSING TIMES????
It supposedly means that those are the dates of the oldest unprocessed applications they currently have. As I saw 2nd of January I guess you mean VSC. At the moment quite a few who filed end of April and begin of May are getting their NOA2's (still waiting myself though sad.gif ). In general the average processing time fluctuates quite a bit during the year but to be on the safe side I'd calculate with 4 months from NOA1 to NOA2.

currently NOA1 recipients from May/June appear to receive their NOA2s with some from April also still waiting. Rather doubt you'll find someone from August with a NOA2 now or in the immediate future.

Currently waiting for pack 4. As the NOA2 on the 22nd of September rather surprised us (online status is still showing received and pending) we only faxed the doc checklist in on the 6th of October. Still hoping to soon hear back and maybe still get an interview date for this month, would mean I can wrap things up here and move to the US by the end of December.

and now I get home and find the letter from the embassy here in the mailbox that they have just received the stuff from the NVC. guess its time to get the pack3 stuff put together.

wouldn't be surprised if some more people are going to find letters in their mailboxes these days while the online thingy shows no change

#######? O_o

the VSC online thingy for checking case status must be really broken. lists last touch as 23rd of June and we just got the "oh hi, your approved petition was received at the NVC today"


so NOA2 5th of September
and NVC received 12ts opf September

and we get to know about it only now...

You are quite welcome. It's been sort of a mystery the past month as to which direction Vermont was headed, and it's really great to see that graph start to work in our favor again. 114 day average wait between NOA 1 and 2 now, and Chantal and I are on day 102 I think....and I know a lot of you are right around there as well.

Here's hoping they put a bunch of us through on the same day soon


NOA1 was 8th of May, been waiting for 124 days now sad.gif just keep telling myself that NOA2 *should* come any day now...

I lost mine many years ago, the airline staff asked me to fill up a new one, and I have no problem.

Don't get me started. Asked at Delta checkin, they told me I could get a replacement at the gate. Went to the gate, they knew nothing about it. At that point had no time to keep running around trying to find a solution or I'd have missed the flight.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 application / i94 lost - problem?
To sum it up:

we have a NOA1 from VSC dated May 8th, awaiting NOA2

have since visited my fiance in the US on visawaiver

had some ####### happen just before departure, green i94 slip lost

been told to mail evidence (boardingpasses, cc bill, passport copies etc) to ACS – INS SBU, P.O. Box 7125
London, KY 40742-7125 to correct my record

anyone been in a similar situation and how did it end?

so, if VSC is faster than the INS guys would my record come up as me being in the US and overstaying? is that being checked? would it result in an instant denial of the i129f or only come up at the interview stage?

arriving in the US on a tourist visa with the intent to marry is illegal and the foreign spouse faces deportion.
