Hi, 

 

Hope all is well. Can anyone give me a rough guesstimate how long the Frankfurt Consulate takes to process the I-130 to NOA2 once they accept it? 1 week? 1 Month? Anyone with experience with this consulate is welcome to reply. Thanks!

Consulate : Frankfurt, Germany
Marriage (if applicable): 2022-01-18
I-130 Sent : 2022-05-12
I-130 NOA1 : 2022-05-16
I-130 RFE : 2022-05-17
I-130 RFE Sent : 2022-05-17

I-130 was approved via the Frankfurt Consulate due to our connection to the US Military.
