furball

about the interview... that was nothing. they asked where we met and what my wife worked with and what i intended to do there... the whole thing took 25 minutes of which i waited for 19...

no he doesn't have to be a resident. just get the proper documents sucha as personbevis and hindersprövning. it's a pretty stressful if he is only here for a couple of weeks. but we applied at april11 and i had my visa may5. so it's fast.. so go ahead and good luck to you.....

I don't know what to say. we applied april 11 and today it's all aproved- WOW is that fast or what- to all swedes out there. do the dcf.... got my visa cr1 today...... wish ya all the same..

we filed april 11 and today i got my visa...........

Hi!

I've been browsing this forum for a while now. I have been thinking and talking to my wife what to do.

Finally we decided to go ahead with consular filing in Sweden. This is what happend so far.

She came over and we filed april 11, i-130. Turned out i was missing a certified divorce decree from my previous marriage other wise the consular would have approved the i-130 right away since we had the 864, police record and all other necessary documents. Got the the decree and sent it in april 19 and got the second part of the ds-230 back today, the 21th with an appointment for interview may 3. Did the medical today, which i wrote on the ds-230 part 1.

As I said. i have been browsing this forum for a while and I have never seen anything as fast as this. So all you out there who is wondering. go ahead for consular filing. Hope some Swedish "browser" reads this.

Nice weekend to ya all
