Final Pre-Interview To Do

Medical Monday & Tuesday:

• DONE: Get a final vaccination from the far-away doctors' office (varicella: medicine costs €56; previous vaccine medications cost €65 total. Doctor costs €50. In cash. Damn you health insurance.)
• Have proof of vaccinations sent to Dr. Erbenich's office at the Krankenhaus Waldfriede. Only then can they process and fax my results to the Frankfurt US Consulate. This can be a copy of the Impfpass (cost - yes, there's a cost - €3) faxed to their office with my case number etc. [Need to phone to check this.]

Rest of week re-organising:

• Pay for the interview online (cost €86,09) and get an electronic receipt (wichtig)
• Get copies of the NOA2 and fiancee letter of intent
• Copy police reports, passport ID page and check whether other copies are needed.
• Check all interview documents and ensure they're marked and copied sufficiently.
• Get info on Frankfurt (getting to/from places etc.)

Meanwhile feign interest in work and try to do these things whilst working 9 - 6.

Despite wondering at the hundreds of Euros the last few stages of the process cost, I nearly, almost, tasteably have a K-1 fiancé immigrant visa!

Last steps:
A medical at the hospital in Berlin-Zehlendorf at 10.30 am on Tuesday 20th May (1 morning off work!)

• For this I need 1, or 3, passport photos (depending on the source), my passport, my case number and my vaccine records.
• When I leave the venerable Dr. Lothar Erbenich, I need to take with me a DS-3025 form (vaccine follow-up on adjusting status) and my chest X-ray (which goes on the plane with me
  

The Visa Interview at the Frankfurt US Consulate at 9.30 am on Tuesday June 3rd (2 days off work! But lots of train time and a hopefully cheap place to stay.) Details for that coming soon.

Approximately a week later I will finally, actually, tangibly have a K-1 visa delivered to my very door. Or at least to my postbox.
