Re: Visa Processing times

Hi

I just took along our marriage certificate, my passport, a photocopy of my husbansd permit and thats it I think, it was very straight forward although they took forever to get my permit to me also, applied in March didn't get it till July!!

When I went in to register they asked when I entered the country and I just told them I had entered the week before, no questions asaked.

If your husband is Swiss then I would imagine you could go to your local Kreisburo and register for permits straight away

Sending you positive house-selling vibes. The UK market is - well, very different from what I'm used to in the US. Fortunately we are in a great area, and the market seems strong. The estate agent said he could have sold our house three times over - in fact people who were too late to get ours were knocking on our neighbour's door asking if they wanted to sell! So fingers crossed all the way round . . .

My husband is Swiss, so I don't have to wait on any kind of permit with him. I just found a link and emailed the embassy in London and will see what they advise.

Nicky - what kind of documentation did you have to provide with your application?

I am currently scrambling to get an "Issued within the last 6 months" copy of my birth ceritificate (from Alaska!) so we can register our marriage and our daughter's birth. We've been a little slack administratively and they didn't like the fact that we sent originals that hadn't been issued in the past 6 months (ie. marriage certificate 8 years old by now). Wacky, wacky stuff - but that's another thread. I'm just hoping if I need all this for a visa that I can finally convince the state of Alaska that I am who I say I am so I can get my daughter her Swiss passport. We've been lazy and she's just been travelling on her US one.
