interview date - how do I change it if I am on vacation?

[houserocker83 0]

Hi everyone!

One short question. I just send out my package 3 including the signed checklist. So I am waiting for my interview date.

I just wanted to know how long does it take to get a interview in Germany from now on.

2 weeks, 4 weeks or even longer?

Do they send me a specific date or couple of dates I can choose from?

What happened if I am out of the country at this time (on vacation)? Can I write them a letter and change the interview date?

When do I have to take the medical exam, before the interview date or can I take it even after that?

thanks and have a wonderful day!

Medical has to be done before the interview, If you request a change of interview date expect a much longer wait for another open interview slot, consider 1-2 months from the date you are given. You should keep the date you unless you absolutly have to change it.

Does it really take that long until I get a interview date from the time I send out package 3 with the signed checklist?

I thought it would take less than one month. Does someone from Germany has already experience with the consulate in Frankfurt and knows how long it takes?

okay hi

In my case it took like 2 weeks from sending pack 3 to receiving pack 4 with an interview date 2 weeks later... so altogether an interview date 4 weeks from sending pack 3 to Frankfurt.

I also had to change the date and just sent them an e mail explaining why i have to reschedule it..no problem

They give you an apointment date and time so you cannot choose.

In my case i didnt do the medical yet...in pack 4 they gave me an early interview time and they said 'go to the doc after the interview'..so i do both the same day..it also can happen that they give you a late time for the interview so you can do the medical before...it depends
