US Immigration from Slovakia

Hello!

My fianc is from Slovakia and will have to go to Frankfurt for his interview. However, the US Scheduling site is a nightmare! We are trying to get through to the scheduling portion, but it does not have any options for delivery to Slovakia (we can only enter German addresses). If we choose "pick up" and try to select the IV Slovakia option, and click next, it says the city is invalid! What can we do to proceed?

Additionally, when we try to choose credit card (EUR) to pay the visa fee or the US Debit card, the "Submit" button does not advance on the site. We have tried in Chrome ad Opera.

Any advice would be extremely helpful as there are no answers online.

Thank you!!!!

I am worried that my fiance s visa and passport have been lost by the embassy.

For some backstory, she lives in Slovakia, and after May 2024 the Slovak embassy no longer handles K1 visas, it s the Frankfurt embassy that does it for her country. The procedure as outlined on ustraveldocs is for the embassy to mail back the passport with visa to her in Slovakia so that she doesn t have to go all the way back to Germany. She was supposed to register her delivery address online before the interview, then give the embassy the address delivery paper during the interview. She did all of this.

On 12/23, my fiance s case status on ceac changed to issued .

On 12/27, the embassy emailed her telling her that her passport has been mailed back to her. There is no tracking.

Then on 12/31, the embassy emailed her saying that her passport was available for pickup at one of the Frankfurt lockboxes.

She reached out to them asking for clarification so she could find out which email was correct. They responded saying that they would make a support case for her and that they would escalate it. Since then, nothing.

She has reached back out 3 times asking for updates and they have nothing to share, other than the case has been escalated. I m starting to worry that they have no idea where the passport is because I can t fathom why there wouldn t be any updates on what happened to it after almost 2 weeks.

Has anyone experienced anything close to this? If so, how long did it take for them to find the passport and for you to receive it?

Hello!

In part 3, question 17 of the I-134 form, it provides a table where I can fill out my assets. The last two rows say "Current Cash Value (U.S. dollars)" and "TOTAL (U.S. dollars)". Shouldn't these be the same value? I'm a little unsure what the "Current Cash Value" means and why there are two different rows for what looks to be the same value. Am I misinterpreting this?

Hi all! Has anyone scheduled a K1 visa interview at the Frankfurt embassy after May 2024? I m wondering what the appointment wait times are like. When you scheduled, what was the earliest appointment time you could pick? Was it a few weeks away or a few months away? Thanks in advance!

Hello! Our K1 visa case reached the Frankfurt embassy late last week. From what I ve seen online, some people wait to receive the packet from Frankfurt before doing anything, while others fill out the online DS-160 form and schedule the medical exam before they receive the packet. I ve also heard that the packet could take 2 weeks to arrive and that some people never even receive the packet until after they ve gotten their K1 visa and are in the US already.

Should we wait to receive packet 3 from Frankfurt? I am worrying that it could take weeks or months to arrive and isn't even necessary, and waiting for it could delay the visa process for no reason. Though maybe it contains vital info that shouldn't be ignored? If you received the packet, how long did it take to arrive after your case reached the embassy? I m not sure what to do and would love any advice. Thanks!
