Tanti Auguri!!!! :thumbs:

Kicking myself for not going the DCF route, I did not even think about it :bonk: But I am at NVC now and hoping it will go smoothly. But I cannot seem to find any reviews of the Consulate in Milan and the process there, but I am hoping it is similar to the Naples as that office seems to be pretty good :D

Milan? As I understood, ONLY the naples consulate handles immigration.. In fact at the interview there were people from all over italy (and outside italy) including the north (like us) who had to go all the way down there... As I said in the other post.. i would still consider canceling the other I-130 if possible and going the DCF route.. so quick and painless.. no checking websites about status and twiddling thumbs.. it was literally like a 1-2-3 done! Additionally when you file DCF their is apparently some leniency with regards to income paper work.. that worked out nicely for us.. They counted 'future earned income' even though the instructions say they do not..
