DCF in Frankfurt Office --- No Case number?

[Backtocali 0]

Hi guys,

 

for those that used DCf in Frankfurt. Did you receive a Case number? I filed in January and all I got was a payment receipt (is not a case number) Other than that, a standard copy of some information, but no personal informaiton.

Is this normal? Or should I have gotten a Case number?  I am at aprox 50 days from filing, getting worried as most people got approved within 25-45 days for this office

Hi there!

Just so happens that I am from San Diego as well. I filed for my wife at the Frankfurt office in fall of last year. First you get the receipt, next you will receive a letter from USCIS called "Approval Notice", and then you will receive another letter from the US Consulate General explaining that you can now apply for the DS-260, or whatever visa you are eligible for, along with a web address where to go and the case file number.

 

It took exactly 7 weeks to get the first letter (not the receipt) and then another week to get the second letter. I know it is nerve wracking since you really cant contact anyone, but I am sure you will receive it within the next 2 weeks.

 

Hope this helps!

Hi

 

This is great, thanks for the info. I was gettting worried as did not receive anything official at all. Only a standard copy and a tiny Credit card receipt for the payment.

And you are right, it is nerve wrecking I can't wait for the approval so we can start the visa process.

 

Thanks for the info.

Hi guys

 

 

Just wanted to update you that I got the APPROVAL NOTICE today for our I-130! Super happy now. Was approved on MArch 10th and just arrived in the mail today.
 

 

Just to highlight that my DCF was approved even though I did not submit my actual residence permit for Germany (as I lost the little card) but, I did provide a lot of evidence of living here like Anmeldebestätigung and taxes in Germany together with employment contract.

Next step is Visa through Frankfurt Embassy.

Here we go
