Questions about Packet 3 (Live in Dusseldorf, Applying DCF Frankfurt I-130 for Japanese wife also residing in Germany):

Just received our notice in the mail from the USCIS in Frankfurt that the I-130 for my wife was approved. Wondering what's the next step? USCIS now sends the case on to the Immigrant Visa unit at the consulate?

I've read about all the documents to prepare for Packet 3. Will the case number/Packet 3 info come in the mail or will the consulate in Frankfurt email info about the next step?

Appreciate any help with these questions. Thanks in advance for any advice anyone can offer. This site has been so helpful with this process!

It should come in the mail.

I am not sure now, but I think I received an email about it.

I had instructions to send by 'regular' mail which is what I did although I was worried because the packet contained all my original documents!

The consulate emailed me within two or three days after I mailed it to tell me to go ahead and schedule my medical and interview through the traveldocs website.

Sorry you're experiencing this delay and hope it gets sorted soon.

wow did it really take them so fast to review your documents? I also sent my packet by regular mail as it says in the instruction on their website and I am worried to death now about all my originals. It's been over three days now and I have not heard anything from them. I guess I won't hear anything until they have reviewed them. Some people told me they heard back in two weeks, others in a month. But my packet was too thick anyway with all the documents and three cases together, it would not fit into the mailbox...so I think the postman would have to hand it in. I m not sure how it works over there.
