Congrats! It was a matter of days for us, I am sure you will hear soon. We got an appointment one month later, but actually had to change it, so then we got an appointment 2 months later.

thank you so much for the information, really appreciate it, definitely helps :)

Hi again! Sorry to bother you again! It’s been 13 days since we got DQed and waiting for Bern embassy’s letter! How many days was it for you? Not sure if I’m being too impatient 😊 thank you so much 🙏

Just for a final bit of feedback from me - I had my interview on Tuesday and my visa in hand on Thursday. They are definitely very fast :) 

Congratulations! 
I’ve got RFEd from the NVC in August because of a W2 missing and the Swiss criminal record not properly scanned. 
Did you get an RFE as well by any chance? If yes, did you have to wait another 2 months until the NVC reviewed your case again?

Hi Ozzac! We got an RFE for the W2s as well, even though my husband was clearly not receiving W2s as he was employed in Switzerland. We called NVC and they advised to write a letter stating why he had no W2s. He also attached his and my Swiss payslips. 

 

I had no issue with the Swiss Police Certificate, but we had a whole saga about my Australian one :( 

 

I am really sorry, but yes, we went back into the queue and our documents were reviewed around 2.5-3 months later...

Hello friends, finally DQed today!!!!

 

I have received an email from the NVC saying that they are going to work with the Bern embassy to schedule an appointment. How long did it take you to get one from the day you were DQed? 

 

Many thanks!

Hi @ozzac, did you already receive your interview appointment? I was also DQed around 2 weeks ago and am now waiting for the interview appointment. I've read that the embassy in Bern is pretty efficient, and it that it shouldn't take too long.

Hello @iCodeClean, I did receive my interview appointment almost three weeks after being DQed. I was getting worried because days were passing by and had no news, but finally I got it. The interview will be in December, even though I would have expected November since they don't receive many such requests. Basically, it's going to take about two months from the date I was DQed. Good luck!

Thank you for your reply @ozzac! I was DQed on 3rd of November so I hope my appointment will come soon, too. I would also have expected that you would get your interview within November though. But it's nice that you already have your fixed appointment which you can look forward to. I hope that you that everything goes quick and smooth for you.

I just received my appointment a few minutes ago. It will be in January. Please let us know how your interview went in December! 

Congratulations! It seems that it takes them two months then to schedule an interview. I thought in the past it took less but who knows…

I will let you know about my interview!

That sounds about right. The Bern embassy page here says it takes 1 month, so I think in the past it was like that. Thanks for letting us know then, and again I wish you the best of luck in December.
