You're welcome.

And yes, you can email it! I recommend it way over mailing it in! Go to the first post in this thread and click on the 'DS-3032 email template' link. This way, there's no need to print, sign, or scan!

Oh, I thought Sweden wasn't eligible to the emailing :)

-

Just got off the phone. Only had to wait in line for about 15 minutes.. :thumbs:

She said that it doesn't matter if they have put the married or the maiden name on the DS-3032. Why, is cause they have received documents with both names at some point. (That's copies of my old passport I guess, that we used to show that I visited my hubby.) Anyways she said to sign with my married name even tho the document said my maiden name. And when I asked if I could email in the form, she said I could!

So you were right Saylin :) That was good news!

09/26/2009: Met for the first time

12/08/2009: Became a couple

12/09/2010: He proposed and I said yes!

No, you're right, Sweden isn't eligible for EP, but emailing the DS-3032 is fine for ALL countries. It's just the AOS and IV packages that can't be emailed in for you.

Horrible - but I was told that I'd been approved which I won't believe until I pick up my passport. I've written up my review but am leaving it to marinate before I post it. And mine was horrible because hubby is still in Canada with me and they just don't like that.

Fire away with any questions whenever you feel like it.

You'll be OK because the US government have been doing their best to keep the 2 of you apart. They just don't like it if you have been married for 3000 years and have one household and would like to keep it that way.

Ohhhh...wow, that stinks. Of course you want to keep your family together - just the same way "they" want to! What a stupid reason for them to give you a bad interview experience! :bonk:
