Hello all

I just wanted to let you know that my USC husband has filed the I-130 at the Embassy in Bern, Switzerland (it has to be done in person here) on June 27th and we were approved right there and then :D Everything went really well - apart from some confusion at the Embassy cos nobody of the front desk personal seemed to know what the heck I-130 is!!!!!! lol but it all worked out well in the end. I got packet 3 >>> again... I had already received it through the mail when I made the appointment for filing I-130. So I already had everything for the visa application (birth certificate, police records etc.) with me on our fist visit there but they wouldnt except the Applicant readiness form right away and asked me to mail it instead... Which I did on Monday and now I'm waiting for my interview date.

Thanks to this board for your help and the infos! Will keep you posted on how the interview and immigration itself goes :D

Thank you Sadie :)

UPDATE:

I received my visa application letter yesterday, July 12th, 2006 - only 9 days after I sent of DS230 Part I! And I got my visa interview date for July 26th 2006. I made the appointment for the medical examination yesterday too - I go in on July 20th. They told me to bring

  • my vaccination records and to make sure I got all required vaccinations at my regular doctor here BEFORE I come to them for the medical examination
  • A passport style color photograph
  • The results of antibodies test (if applicable)
  • glasses, contact lenses (if applicable) I wear glasses
  • and the fee in cash - 490 Swiss Franks - that's about 335 USD

It's all happening now! lol
