Visa Interview In Frankfurt

[Mike and Liliia 24]

Has anyone been able to schedule their Visa interview in Frankfurt for their Ukrainian Beneficiary ? I see wait times for non-immigrant visa's in Frankfurt are 21 days, and in Warsaw 3 days (https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/wait-times.html)  Frankfurt was going to already be an inconvenience and my case is still at NVC (was just assigned case number last week). Was considering having NVC transfer our case to either Rome or Warsaw as we both have friends there.

Maybe you could also try posting in the Russia-Ukraine-Belarus forum? I'm not sure if many Ukrainian applicats are reading this one.

Wait times Warsaw very long. They are scheduling October for non-residents now. It’s not that easy to transfer. You maybe better off with Frankfurt. Transfer also takes time.

Also Warsaw is the designated embassy for not just Polish, but also Russian applicants. So from the standpoint of waiting times, I'm not sure if Warsaw would be a better option. You could also try and see if any other European embassy will accept your case - there might be less of a backlog in that case.

We scheduled an interview for Friday - yesterday. There was a Thursday slot. 

Frankfurt holds a few slots for close in interviews-Ukraine, F a J visas I think.

My case is a bit different than most since my NVC expedite was approved and the file went to Frankfurt without being reviewed by the NVC. At least I think that is unusual. 

 

I emailed the expedite request to the NVC email address on 3/31 and submitted by documents on 4/4. They approved the expedite 5/26 and I requested permission to set an appointment shortly thereafter. I logged in om 6/9/2022 and these dates are available.

June 27, 28, 29

July 1,5,6,7,8,11,12,14,15,18,19,20,21,25,26,28,29

 

They released the June dates around the end of May if I recall correctly. 

 

I would suggest you schedule your medical if you have not already done so. Vilnius was where I went and I did a post today about the experience in the Ukraine forum. Highly recommended. 

 

Good luck
