US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionMedical in Hamburg, is it ok?
Had the same in my letter.... don't worry, just go to the doc where you want (one they have on their website) and they will send everything. It confused me too when I got the letter, but got the medical done in Dortmund and they send it to Frankfurt.

Well, since I have nothing much to do, and the weather isnt that great here in Germany, I was thinking about to spy on others. I went threw the list
http://cse.ssl.berke...ta/default.aspx
and checked just the 82 people who had applied beyond the CSC processing time to see if they just havent filled in the timeline. Guess what, I found a few. Reading what they wrote, I found 8! True, not a lot, but at least some. Here is the list
20 Apple & Andrew
28 Behnaz & Robin
36 uyen & kc
40 emily & torre
41 Cesar & Kathy
60 Inna & Timothy
62 kratae & John
70 Claudia & Moreta changed to K3

8 out of 82
ok, the last one just changed in December to K3, so didn't really get approved. The other 7 wrote in some topics that they had received package 3 or have a timeline in the signature section, like most of the people.
Please update your timeline, and even if it's just a RFE (what I don't wish anyone) or even when you are denied, because I saw even a few of those under the 82. Thank you so much, you will do everyone and yourself a favor, and it just takes a minute or so.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNOT APPROVED YET!!!!!
I know, I have no much right to say anything, since Craig and I are just at the beginning, but I have mixed feelings. In the beginning I was making jokes, that he should move away from Cleveland, so we dont have to apply in CSC. Really fast the VSC people who applied on the same day then we did got approved, and I was a little bit sad, but happy at the same time. Sure, I have to admit that I'm more happy when people from CSC get approved, so our name moves in Igors List further and further. That's why I can't be jealous when they get their approval. They have waited for a long time, and we have to sit and wait, just like the rest, hoping that we will get approved in time. Meanwhile I check like 7 times a day the List and read all the stories here, trying to get ready what is next, and even what we have to take care of when we are finally together for good. He finally booked his flight to come visit me in Germany in May, and that is right now my big day I'm waiting for. I'm thankful that he found this website and we are a part (most of the time quiet) of this big family. So yes, I won't start complaining before July 15th, which will be our 150th day! j/k
I hope we all get approved without any problems, so that we can all be with our other half, and start the last step to be with each other for good! star_smile.gif

Great news!! Tina goes for her medical on the 25th. Would they give her a copy of the report if she asked? Anything special she should look for in Frankfurt?


They won't be able to do that, since it takes a day or two to get the result I think, but she will get the xray and she should ask the Doc to give her the form DS 3025 (Vaccination Documentation Worksheet)!!! They mailed it to me, after I asked, you will need it for AOS. Nothing special in Frnakfurt, wait in the Non-Immigration line, sit in the yellow area (window 16-23). They were all so nice, and so helpful. Didn't ask for any proof of ongoing relationship, took copy of birth certific, copy and original of I-134+some of the W2 and the other papers to support it, and the original police certific. Stamps and a pen is good to have as well, and 1 more 5x5 passport pic. Like I said (I think I did) I was first, and was done and out at 9am. There were a total of 8 people going for K1 Interview that early.

Julia how did it go!?!?!?!



I passed, just got back 25 minutes ago, and already emailed the embassy. My Medical Report wasn't there yet, and I had it done over 4 weeks ago. They told me to call the doc and that they will get in touch with him as well. So I called the doc right after calling Craig, and they told me that they had send it out weeks ago. But the most important thing I passed!
Left at 3.45am, got there at 6.30am (after we turned wrong once), was 5th in my line, but first for a K Visa. Got out at 9am. On the way home we made a few more wrong turnes and got home at 12.30pm, 488.?? kilometers later. My Mom drove with me, since I was so nervous. They talked all the time in German with me, and they just looked at me a little bit weird because my hands were a little bit shaking when they took my fingerprints.
So now I will book my Moms flight for the wedding first, and check out some more flights for me (don't wanna book any before I get an answer from Frankfurt). star_smile.gif

A delightful update! Dennis and I just got back to our hotel from our interview. We were at the embassy for almost four hours..and it was worth every minute. We were called up to hand in our paperwork and the lady who took it was VERY impressed with our organization (yay VJ!), then sat back down. Then Dennis was called up for his fingerprints and we were told to sit and wait for our interview. While waiting we heard the two couples in front of us have their interviews, one had been denied for a tourist visa last year because the officers didn't believe she would come back at that time. They were finally approved after a pretty in depth interview. The other couple asked specifically when they could pick up their visa and were told that it was impossible to do them same day, because the information has to go back to Washington and they were already closed there. Both couples were called up, told to sit back down, then called up for additional interviewing

They called Dennis up (I was allowed to go with him) and spent less than five minutes with the interviewer. She asked how we'd met, what type of wedding we were planning on having, and what we each did for work. Then she said those magical five words "I'm satisfied with your relationship." She sent us over to the first window to get instructions. The lady there said that the consulate will be closed tomorrow! sad.gif Normally you can pick up your visa the next day at Vancouver...we were a bit panicking then because we have plane tickets to fly back home tomorrow night! The lady told us to sit down and she would try to print the visa right then and there for us. smile.gif We sat for another hour or so and she called us up and gave us the sealed packet and returned Dennis' passport! Apparently we REALLY impressed her, since they had just told someone else it was impossible to do, but made an exception for us! smile.gif

Thank you all for the well wishes and the support through this process, it's taken SO long, but finally we'll be heading home together! We leave Canada on Friday and are going to drive back to Salt Lake. I hope everyone who is still waiting gets their good news soon!



Congratulations!!!

Believe me, here you will be never alone with frustration! Just stay strong, it has to get better, and like my future mother-in-law wrote me so many times in the beginning "later you will look back and laugh at the waitingtime, since you will be together for good"... didn't really help to tell the truth, nothing really helps, until you are together. Keep us updated, you are not alone!

Isn't it weird that CSC messed up big time in so many cases of Feb filers? Has that ever happened before? Can't imagine how much it sucks to get approved and then wait months for them to send it to NVC. Thought it all took already so long, and having the Interview in a few days, and knowing some are still waiting is kind of weird!

Hope everyone who is still waiting for CSC to move their butts, don't have to wait any longer, so that everyone will be with their loved once by xmas!

I know...it seems like no one else understands the kind of stress we're going through. My mom is just like "Nothing will go wrong. Everything will be fine." I'm always like "there's no way to KNOW that."



Craig is the one who tells me that every night when we chat/talk on the phone, and I always start with "what if"... he is getting sick of it.... oh well, 8 more nights unsure.gif



Be happy 8 nights is nothing tongue.gif, when i saw my appointment letter with October 15, i was happy yes to have finally the interview date, but, same time i was thinking that it gonna to be sooooooooo long. I will be busy for sure. Preparing the move and stuffs. But as you all know. Even extremely busy we cant get it out of our head.

But yes nobody else around us can understand.



See, I'm to scared to prepair anything, in case something goes wrong. So I just have everything sitting around in the rooms, waiting to get thrown out or go in one of the two suitcases! I haven't even booked a flight, but check every night if the flights I want to take are still avariable, cuz Craig doesn't want me to book it just yet... ugh, it's been a month since I had everything sent out, can't believe its already September, wanted to be with him so bad this week.
