Hello,

does anybody know about moving companies from germany to the US? Door to door ... and how long would a container take?

What were the experiences in your case?

What am I allowed to take and is it true that the container isnt supposed to arrive ahead of me?

I appreciate any information on this topic

.

Thank you in advance

I don't think this is a ROC question but I'll try to help anyway. I'm a bit confused though, your company is transferring you from Germany to the US? Are you wondering what kind of visa you'll need? If your company is the one doing the transfer, my guess is you'll be granted a work visa sponsored through your work. As far as the container, I don't know what you mean. A package? Your belongings being moved from Germany to the US? Give us more details and we might be able to help...

Oh ok, its about our household here in germany ... furniture etc. We do need a container to hold our household. Visa vice, we got approved on our I-130 two weeks ago.

I know I need tht visa to not pay taxes on our things, so we are good wih this. But it seems the prices for the move are so diffrent and I wanted to know if somebody made some experiences. My husband isnt military, so we will have to look for a moving company ourselves and also pay for it.

Moving from ROC forums to regional forums as this is not a ROC issue or question but a question about moving companys in a specific country.

German portal only means that other people with country listed as Germany can see it.

You have to post in the regional forums for the country to have it be in the country specific area. I have moved your post to the correct place.

I read somewhere on this forum that Excess Baggage Company is an affordable option. I checked it out and they'll do door-to-door from Germany to USA, but I haven't done a full quote yet since we're not done figuring out what we'll keep and what we'll sell here.

Our Story:

Apr '06 - We met in Houston, TX when he was on a business trip

Jul '06 - I went to Germany to visit him at his invitation

Oct '06 - He came back to Houston, TX to visit me and ask my parents for my hand in marriage

Jan '07 - I moved to Germany

May '07 - We got married <3

Jun '08 - Our little munchkin was born <3 <3

4 years later we decide we want to move to the US.....

20 Jun 12 - We went to the Frankfurt Embassy and submitted my I-130 with all accompanying paperwork at window 40. It was looked over immediately and I was sent to pay the fee at window 23. I took the receipt of payment back to window 40 and was given the DS-230 form for Hubby to fill out. Lucky for us, I already had one finished for him. We turned in the DS-230 at window 22 and received our case number and the IV Document Checklist.

Presently, Hubby is back in his native country getting his police report and birth certificate. Upon return, he will update his vac/immunizations and do his Medical Examination. We are waiting for I-864 joint sponsor paperwork to be returned to us, and then we can send everything in with a Request for Interview. We have a target date of mid October to establish residence in the US.

Yes, I did find some companies, one is ITO (they do the moving for the us military also) ... now waiting on prices and calculations.

True, some things are cheaper in the US and I will not take everything, but I travelled the world a lot and bought so many unique pieces of furniture

and decoration ... never would I gather all of that in the US lol Besides, I am a woman of 42 yrs, my roots in north-africa, and its important to me and my son to

be sourrounded by the things we love ( Lucky me, my husband like it too) ... and its almost 40 boxes with clothes and shoes and bags ... I will not leave that behind :no:

The estimated value is over 25.000 euros, we would loose more money if we sell it here ... one price calculation is 6.500 euro door to door and packing and unpacking,

also includes them handling the paperwork ... at least I have an idea now.

If I was a young man or woman .. I wouldnt take no baggage with me either ... :lol:

Yes, tue ... thats how it starts .. figuring out what to leave here, with the idea in mind how the situation is in the US.

Besides a huge stove, which works with gas (only way I want to cook), there will not be any electronic items, cause they would never develop their full power

there. With us its 4 big items (buffets and "Schrank"), some carpets (which are defently more expensive in the US) 2 tables and a big leather sofa (nice italian style & not seen under $5000

in the US). But bought it here at a furniture exposition for half of the price. The rest is very personal and very important. And knowing what we allready have, my husband and myself

do not want to start by ZERO. One thing we will not have to worry about, especially since I will not start working right away.
