I don't know about Manila, but my husband came with me when I went to submit my I-130 in Frankfurt... It was fine for him to be there. In fact, it was probably better because after he looked everything over, the CO gave my husband the DS-230 form immediately. Of course, we've been married for 5 years and have a child together, so that may have been a contributing factor for the fast response. I already filled out a DS-230 for him, so we submitted it and were given a case number as well as the IV Info Packet on documents that we need to send in along with the 'request for interview' sheet.

Our Story:

Apr '06 - We met in Houston, TX when he was on a business trip

Jul '06 - I went to Germany to visit him at his invitation

Oct '06 - He came back to Houston, TX to visit me and ask my parents for my hand in marriage

Jan '07 - I moved to Germany

May '07 - We got married <3

Jun '08 - Our little munchkin was born <3 <3

4 years later we decide we want to move to the US.....

20 Jun 12 - We went to the Frankfurt Embassy and submitted my I-130 with all accompanying paperwork at window 40. It was looked over immediately and I was sent to pay the fee at window 23. I took the receipt of payment back to window 40 and was given the DS-230 form for Hubby to fill out. Lucky for us, I already had one finished for him. We turned in the DS-230 at window 22 and received our case number and the IV Document Checklist.

Presently, Hubby is back in his native country getting his police report and birth certificate. Upon return, he will update his vac/immunizations and do his Medical Examination. We are waiting for I-864 joint sponsor paperwork to be returned to us, and then we can send everything in with a Request for Interview. We have a target date of mid October to establish residence in the US.

Thank you very much :) we'll fill out the DS-230 just in case.

In Seoul, my husband was permitted to enter, and actually they wanted his signature on their little form for receiving email notification, so I was glad he was there. We've also been married 5 years and have a son (and baby on the way) but I'm pretty sure we're going to be waiting a few weeks like most who file in Seoul.

Long story short, we have a complicated case. We've been at this for nearly 5 years. You can read our story here. I highly recommend our attorney Laurel Scott, as well as attorneys Laura Fernandez and Lizz Cannon .

Filed I-130 via CSC in Feb 2008. Petition approved June 2008. Consular interview in Mexico, Oct 2008, visa denied, INA 212a6cii. We allege improper application of the law in this case.

2012, started over in Seoul: I-130 filed DCF on 7/2, I-130 approved 8/8, Medical at Yonsei Severance 11/20, IR1 appointment in November 2012.

CRBA filed 1-3-13 at Seoul for our daughter
