Don't know what visa I should file for!!

Being denied an ESTA does not necessarily mean one is ineligible for life. Timing can play a factor.

I know timing can be factor, but from the OP's prespective that was not going to work.

I had read her complete thread and readdress via congressman they had gone thru.

My response was not a generic but specific to OP.

E3 for Australians.

Yes you and Jay Jay are right but I was not aware of any such specific work visa for Germany, unfortunately OP did not wanted to provide with much details about those.

So most of the answers were just based on the generic scenarios.

Mine were too, just digressed, not that it matters or is material to the issue at hand.

Thanks for the further offers of advice. We didn't make our original appointment date since our visa payment confirmation hadn't reached us via Email by that time, so we rescheduled for this morning.

Just got home from a highly successful trip to Frankfurt. The officer granted my husband his B2 visa with barely any questions asked and didn't even go through his documents. I learned later that obviously our senator's immigration affairs agent had faxed the consulate a letter stating he believed our case to be "quite legitimate" so not to just finger through his papers like last time. My husband also said that they were much friendlier, both outside at the ticket counter as well as inside. Obviously DHS has matured quite a bit within the last 2 years. He should be getting his visa in the mail by next Friday. Hallelujah!
