nightmare

[dd0914 0]

so my husband and i went monday to Frankfort to file our I130 petition. i was excited and nervous and we had all we needed by the checklist given to me by Frankfort . we waited about one hour and were called. we had a older gentlemen who i might add was not so friendly. He looked things over and told me he could not accept it because my husbands photo he had a few hairs cut off the top of the pic.. and then he said they needed a special copy of his daughters birth paper . we had the german version and the english translated but he said that wasnt enough:( so he sent us downstairs and had us file the DS230 part one . we went down the lady took it put some info. in the computer and gave us some information on what we need for the interview later ect. and the I864 ect. i was so sad and disappointed because we drove there to file thinking it would be faster to file in person and then were sent home to do what we have too and then mail it in or drive it back. so we didnt even get to pay there or anything. then we drove the 3 and half hours home and both of us were down.

so we are now doing new photos for him and getting a special paper for his daughters birth paper. The man wasnt so nice either, he made us feel dumb and was alittle bitchy. and there is a 6 month rule in frankfort too however although i am not at the 6 month mark if he didnt need anything extra he would have taken it. he did tell us to come back when we had it straightend out.

so my questions are .. does anyone know why they would have taken DS230 part 1 for my spo9use and stepdaughter without them taking our I130?? and later when we submit the I130 or try too lol, what will happen with the DS230 part 1 ? will they have that in the computer or something ?

I honestly have no idea as to why they would take the DS-230 part 1... Usually they are supposed to accept the I-130 and G-325A biographical information forms from you and your hubby. After that is received, then you can receive (usually the same day) the DS-230 and the I-864 Affidavit of Support. I would call the Frankfurt Consulate and ask them. If not, personally return back to Frankfurt when you have the information they requested. Try to remember the guy's name you worked with last time in Frankfurt and see what can be done. That entire process is strangely out of order.

Do you mean the 6 month mark for being able to file your petition as a resident in Germany? They are very strict with this policy. You must have lived in Germany for 6 months and have a residency permit. My spouse and I initially tried to file there, but I obviously did not meet the requirements for residency.

I hope you can find a resolution to your case... either way, you are much luckier to be filing in Frankfurt rather than a service center in the USA.

yes i mean the 6 month mark. there is never any clarity with that! lol i think i have read numerous people asking and cant seem to find that information on the website. they dont say that on there! i do have a resident permit , i have been in germany since feb. 11 on the computer system at the burgerburo however the consulate doesnt seem to care about that date. they go by the date in your resident permit. and naturally mine was delayed because the woman working on ours was sick for 3 weeks. so mine is dated march 25th. so that is the date they go by. and i am flying home to america on sept. 28th! so i am going to have to fast file before i fly. When i was there trying to file the man said he didnt think i could file at that time but yet would have taken the papers if i had all happy for him. when he told us what we still needed to get he then said ok now go downstairs and file your ds230 part one . so we did. and that lady typed info into the computer and then handed us our medical papers for where to go and the I864 and went over all with us and then we left. lol. and she gave us a case number too on the paper. but we are going to head back and see if we can speak to the same man soon.
