Yes, but it doesn't show up in the dashboard. I am guessing this will only work once the embassy allows appointment scheduling.

I know the feeling! I just sent another message saying that I really need a reply and that it is important that someone looks into the issue as otherwise I cannot schedule an appointment. I have my fi

You don't need to print out the delivery address. It will be on the appointment confirmation that you print and bring with you to the interview. As for the payment confirmation I only received a one-line email from ustraveldocs after I paid (Saying "your receipt number has been activated". I printed that email plus the extract from my bank account which showed the payment.

Thank you guys! Thanks for clearing up the document delivery address. I filled this out on ustraveldocs.com so will just print the appointment confirmation after scheduling my appointment, and as you said it will be on there.

As for the payment confirmation, I only received an email with one line in it mentioning my receipt number, too. I suppose I will print that with my debit card statement showing the amount paid, as you have done.

I've also seen mention of a 'request for interview' page to be submitted in packet 3... can someone clarify what this is?

The "request for interview" page is at the end of the checklist that you find online - you need to print and sign that and place it on top of your documents.

Ahh, right! I do have that page signed. I just didn't realise it was called the 'request for interview' page.

So many different reference to so many different forms.

Can't wait to submit this packet!

Take it with you to the interview.

Also, I believe the cosponsor only has to be a US resident, not a cititzen.

Do you think/ have you heard about it working out?

Or has anyone ever just send a letter with additional information after the package??

I knew I forgot something!!! Arghhh...

I did send in multiple letters and it did not seem to be a problem! They will not admit you to scheduling your interview appointment if something is missing so they will wait anyways and it won't affect your interview outcome in the end.

Ok great! I mailed it out today. It is probably going to arrive on the same day. :)

Another question: How much time do they require between the medical (at Frankfurt) and the interview at the consulate?

All I have heard is that you should allow two weeks between the medical and the interview to ensure that the documents get there in time. If you do the medical in Frankfurt though this timeframe could be less I guess! However, I do not know what happens if the results are not there for the interview or if they would even let you schedule an interview without the results having arrived. Maybe someone else has any idea on that?

They will put the case on hold (administrative processing) until the medical results arrive.

I plan on doing my medical the week before the interview - but I know quite a few people who did it the day before.
