Is it the only medical center? You can try to see if you can find appointments in another city. If not, you can attend the interview and your case will go in AP until they receive the results of the medical.
DV 2022 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)
- Thread starter Sm1smom
- Start date
Assuming that you are designated at the Frankfurt consulate, there are four medical centres. Try contacting each.
I highly recommend getting the medical before the interview or at least by the end of July. This might require you to travel to another city for half a day, but it will be worth the risks. I cannot stress enough the importance of getting the medical before the end of July, especially given the current fiasco and possible risks of DV22 in the coming months.

I am in Frankfurt, I just contacted the rest of the medical centres as well, so I'm just hoping some of them have available appointments!
if you schedule an appointment through the online system (works for either frankfurt or berlin) and activate the waitlist for earlier appointments option, they will then notify you once there is an appointment available, over and over... but you gotta be fast with accepting those. i know that you will FOR SURE get an earlier appointment in frankfurt (internisten im westend), berlin is gonna be tough but you might have a chance if you call them or ask through e-mail (they respond pretty fast!) and they sometimes have next day appointments available.. i am not sure about the other physicians since they have not been on the list for a while and made it back on there just recently and i have no experience with trying to get an appointment there.

Hello everyone,
My case number is quite high for my region, but I am hoping they will process all cases.
My question is, I have submitted my ds260 back in May 2021 for me, my husband and 2 of my children
My husband work changed from last year to today and he might not be able to join us in the interview even though his details are there in the forum.
Is this something that might disqualify us?, am I able to get the visa for me and my kids and not my husband?
I am the primary applicant.

No problem if your husband does not interview for a visa, as you are the primary applicant.
Depending on the age of the children and the laws of your country, you might need formal permission from your husband to take the children to the US with you.

Thank u so much for your response
Hello, folks!
Can you share your experience with finance support documents you bring with you to the interview, please? For example how much money did you have in your bank account? Or did you hear about any cases which were denied because of lack of financial support (I`m talking only about AOS)? I assume there are not a lot of "millionaires" and some of you had the same issues as I with that (F-1 student, on-campus low-paid job - all I have)

You need to keep AOS related questions on the AOS only thread please.
Hi im not sure of im on the right group. But i have a personal question. We are migrating through diversity visa green card migration. My child is turning 11 years and will be leaving her closest family and carer; her grandma. She is constantly sad and depressed. My question is can i leave her behind and she visit each US each year until she is old enough to detach from my mother? I am worried sick about her feeling down all the time when we move. My mother and her are extremely close. Will this plan jeopardize of my child getting citizenship in the US? Anyones advice is welcome.

You’re in the wrong thread, a moderator will move it for you.
Your child cannot get a green card and use it to visit once a year. A green card is for living in the US, and there are residency requirements associated with it or it is deemed abandoned. You can try get her a visit visa to visit, but that may be difficult with parents living in the US. Is that a risk you are willing to take? She will be unable to get citizenship until she actually immigrates and lives in the US. You can still sponsor her at some stage in the future via family based visa if she doesn’t come now but it is a significantly longer, more complicated and more expensive process.
now for some unsolicited advice: Family dynamics aside (will she not be sad left behind without you too?), bear in mind it is almost always easier for children to move the younger they are. If she moves at 11/12 she will complete some of middle school and all of high school in the US, she will integrate faster into her new environment, and her post school path will be easier. If she moves later, at 14 or 16 or 18, settling in to the US will be harder. Possibly the worst is moving during high school, but moving right after high school is not that easy either depending what she plans to do after school.. and she won’t know anyone except you if she does that. If you leave it much longer than that - if she turns 21 before she immigrates -the immigration category changes and it could take another 7-8 years after you file for her… and then she will be in her late 20s when she immigrates. Then she still has to be here for 5 years to become a citizen. (If she has a green card and is living with you in the US and under 18 when you become a citizen, she will automatically become one too.) Lots of different factors for you to think about.
Thank you so much for the insight and valuable advice. Wehave alot to think about and considering the information given you so kindly, we need to choose for a better tomorrow for my child
We appreciate your response to my question. Thank you
So discouraged. My case number is EU2xxx and I still haven't received a 2NL. The embassy I would be scheduled at is the Warsaw one. I'm trying to find information about other applicants that got interviewed at that embassy but I can't find anything. How can I bring attention to my case? Should I contact the KCC or the embassy?

Interview : 19 May 9h30
Post : Madrid
We got at the embassy at 8h30, there was a large queue and they told us to wait in the queue, then a lady came asking every person what their situation was, and she told us to come back at 9,9:15. So we did, and we passed directly inside without queueing.
We passed the security check, they took our phones, and we only had our documents with us as they didn't allow entry with other bags or backpacks. We had left those in a coffee place across the street.
We passed another queue and we were handed an envelope on which we were asked to write our names, address and phone number, then took the envelope and gave us a number.
The room was quite small and there were a lot of windows, so we were quite confused but a lady informed someone at one of the windows that we were there for the dv lottery visa and told us to wait, to not mind the queues, and told us we will be called.
Soon enough we were called to one window where we were asked to produce the documents. The lady was Spanish and didn't know very well the documents that she needed but she had someone instructing her. She took all our documents and then told us we need to send them a more recent French police certificate. (I had lived in France 4 years ago and obtained the certificate in 2021,but had since been back in France for 2 short trips.) lucky I had foreseen this and obtained a new certificate 2 days before the interview which I hadn't even managed to translate, but they luckily accepted it!
Then we went to pay at the counter, in euros (if you pay in cash you need to have exact change, which we didn't so we needed to go out, change and come back)
We then gave the receipt to the 1st counter and the lady informed us where we need to wait for the interview.
We were finally called at the last counter where a nice American man made us take an oath, took our biometrics and then asked 2 questions - where did I study, and to my husband, what does he work as.
Then he said, well everything looks good to me, so your visas are approved, and gave us a white paper that said welcome to the United States. My eyes were full of happy tears by this moment and the CO was smiling ear to ear, told us we can expect our visas in 1-2 weeks.
That was it! Didn't ask for any bank statements or i-134 although we had them prepared.
Good luck to everyone here, overprepare always and be confident that things will turn out good!

1. Yes.
2. If you're getting money from friends and relatives to put in your account to demonstrate you're not likely to become a public charge, you will need to make sure they provide you with a note stating the money is a non-refundable gift, and NOT a loan.
Hello
It has been passed over 2 month (70 days) since my interview date but still My case is undergoing administrative processing.
I want to know what factors consular take into consideration to issue visa when they apply to applicant public charge questionnaire after interview?
Thanks
