US Immigration from Germany

We have been waiting for almost two years and spent the last two months to wait for the next available interview slot. I am not sure why but when we filed the n-600, we had Washington DC (Fairfax) as our USCIS field center. It was changed to San Diego, our previous address.

We are currently residing overseas and I would like to change it to our local address. Would this cause mayhem or further delay? Possibly a change of USCIS field center again?

Hey folks! In a bit of a pickle here. My good friends want to visit us in the US next September, coming from Germany.

One of them is a Syrian citizen with a German refugee travel document ( blue passport ). They ve been in Germany for almost a decade and have German permanent residence.

They ve applied for their B2 visa with an interview in December 23, but the intended date of travel is September 24.

Q1: Will their visa be valid for 3 months (Syria) or 10 years (Germany)?

Q2: If 3 months, then can they delay the start of the validity? Otherwise it would expire before their date of travel.

If 10 years, then an additional wrench is that their blue passport expires in May 24. I understand they they can still enter the US with a new blue passport via visa in old passport .

One idea is that they rush getting their German citizenship and German passport which they are already eligible for.

Q3: Is it correct that they couldn t combine their valid visa in expired refugee travel document with a valid German national (red) passport due to the change in citizenship?

Q4: Should they delay their visa interview by a couple months and/or withdraw their application so that they can rush getting the German passport before getting the visa?

Thank you all! This is a bit tricky.

Hello,

the above points ask for I-94 and passport details, but it says in advance:

"If your benificiary is currently in the United States, complete Item Numbers 38.a.-38.h"

Does that mean I don't need to fill it out since I'm currently in Germany? Thanks

We received our interview appointment date by email on November 6th, 2023. I was wondering if they also mail out a letter before the interview or if we need to print out the email that we received and bring that to the interview?

Just wanted to follow up and see if anyone had any questions about the process. So far the embassy has been great. We submitted our DCF and got it approved in 6 days. Then the next day we got packet 3. It doesn't say to send it anywhere, just to "bring it" to the embassy. I've seen a lot of people here "sending" it somewhere. Not sure if I'm confused.

However, all seems to be going according to the timeline since we have to leave at the end of November. Doctor appointment also says that is not required prior to the interview, although the interview set up process says that it does, but I'm assuming that's the general appointment thing, and not a DCF. So we have a medical schedule for next week and we already requested an interview. I'm hoping the interview is within the next week or so, since we have everything we need. If so, this process was incredible and way faster than going the USCIS route (of course because we have an emergency situation to move, but still). If I can finish the visa process in a month, that would be epic.
