A good friend of mine who just finished his naturalization recommended VisaJourney. What a great resource! I'm looking forward to participating in the community and getting the peace of mind that comes with getting confirmation on what are now just my guesses on how the process should work.

I've been living and working in Germany for a few years now, and I'm getting married in a few weeks. My wife are ready to get out of Germany, so we'll be starting a DCF process (Frankfurt).

That's all for now. I guess now I'll be off to the DCF general discussion forum to post more details about our situation and ask about the myriad of concerns we have.

Hi Wortu!

My husband and I are filing also DCF in Frankfurt and I was in desperation when I found this forum. There's a group of us currently filing in Frankfurt and we have a very much updated thread: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/436253-dcf-in-frankfurt-2013/

Maybe it will be useful for you when the time comes.

Cheers!
