Immigrant Visas
What to do once you have obtained all documents
Overview
1. If you haven't done so yet; mail the DS-23O (pdf) for each applicant to the
U.S. Consulate General
Immigrant Visa Section
Giessener Strasse 30
60435 Frankfurt
2. Assemble all of the documents required in support of your application and mail or Fax the Applicant's Statement on the Instructions for Immigrant Visa Applicants (pdf) to the Immigrant Visa Section. Fax 069 - 75 35 22 60. The form indicates that you and your family members (if applicable) have obtained all the necessary documents and are prepared for the immigrant visa interview.
Note: If your application has been processed through the National Visa Center, you will have already sent this notification to the NVC.
3. The Consulate will complete all necessary administrative processing of your immigrant visa application. You may be requested to provide additional information if you have incomplete or are missing documents.
4. Approximately one month before your scheduled interview appointment with a consular officer, you will receive an appointment letter containing the date and time of your visa interview along with instructions for obtaining a medical examination (pdf) and the vaccination requirements (pdf).
Do not send any documents to the Consulate unless requested! You will need to bring all your original documents, or certified copies, plus one photocopy to the immigrant visa interview.
The Consulate cannot guarantee how long it may be before you are scheduled for an appointment for a visa interview. Please notify us if the circumstances of your application have changed:
- Change of address;
- Change of Marital status;
- Death of petitioner; or
- Birth or adoption of additional children
