Hey all!

We are about to start out foray into the world of immigration. We have an appointment to file for I-130 on Feb 20. They also allow you to bring the I-864 as well and they'll look it over and tell you if you're missing anything. Has anyone worked with the Copenhagen Embassy before? What were your experiences there?

Thanks!

When did you send in your residency documentation? I too am curious about how long the process is taking. We are actually flying to Copenhagen tomorrow morning to go to the embassy and change my passport. We strategically planned it for Friday because we know they take walkins that day on immigration. I wanted to present my residency receipt (from when we applied) and a copy of my lease to see if they will accept that towards the 6 month residency.

I guess I'm on the other side of the immigration process since I'm the Dane trying to immigrate to the States. I just know from talking to the people at the embassy here they are very helpful (especially the higher-ups!). Good luck with everything!

Thanks, Mortenson.

I actually sent in my residency documents before we were married, I wanted to be sure they would allow me to do dcf because I'm here on an "intern" visa that expires at the end of August. They said it would be fine and to let them know when I got married. I notified the embassy (by email, they have a fast response time and then you have something in writing!) on Tuesday, and they gave me an appointment for the 20th. So from when I asked for the appointment to when I am filing is 24 days, not bad I think!

Hi guys, I just discovered this DCF thing... I really need some guidance on how to go about it. How does one stay in Denmark for 6 months? I came over here initally with a job offer and a contract. Applied for work permit. Its been 3 months now and I just found out that I got laid off and verbally over the phone my old employer told me that the immigration department denied my work permit. I have not received anything offical from immigration stating that it was denied. My visiting 3 months was technically over January 29th but everyone told me while my application was in process, I'm free to stay here. So, what exactly is my status? I'm so confused... someone mentioned to me I can get my stay extended to 6 months but I have no idea how to do that. Also, if I go down to the kommune on Monday and try to get a marriage license with my Danish boyfriend... will it be granted?

WooHoo! We got our appointment for May 1. Anyone who has recently gone through DCF in Copenhagen, how long did it take? We would like to start preparing for our return to the US. We move out of our house in Denmark in April, so we will be staying in a hotel until we get the visa, and of course don't want to spend more than we have to on hotel bills, LOL.
