We just got seen by the doctor in frankfurt and I am wondering if anyone can help me out with what we need to mail to the consulate. I have all the paperwork needed I am just wondering if I need to mail in her passport and my passport along with all the paperwork? any help is appreciated, also if someone has a better mailing list of all required documents that would be appreciated. the one from the consulate is not easy to understand.

I believe the request is a copy of the wife's passport to whom a visa will be giving. All the requirement is on the site..take a look and good luck.

Did you file the I-130 before May?? Reason I'm asking is that the Consulate has changed how things are handled starting May 1st. If you filed your stuff BEFORE, then you just fax the check list to the Consulate and she BRINGS all the required documents and her passport to the Consulate at the time of her visa interview.

If you filed after the system changed, then you send the required documents to the Consulate and wait for the visa interview invitation letter to arrive. Then she takes her passport to the interview with her.

It may be different in Frankfurt, but usually a copy of the petioner's passport is not required. I don't remember needing my husband's at any point.

No, you don't need to send a copy of YOUR passport. Otherwise it would be mentioned on the checklist.

You went to the medical without getting her immunizations updated first? The average applicant in Germany needs to have their DTaP updated and to provide proof they'd had TWO MMR shots and either suffered from or were vaccinated against varicella. But the complete list can be found here.
