Yes I did. But as I am still terrified by our application for a Schengen visa we need to assure, that the papers are complete. He has a job, but is paid cash.. so no Bank movements, even if he have money. No payment slips. I will fund the trip, so how to prove sponsoring, when I am not there? It is a 6-7 hrs trip for him to go there, and get back, his boss is not going to free him for that time twice, we are already happy, that he may take holiday in December. Means: we need to make pretty sure, he got all relevant papers together to get the visa. Then he can take that online appointment in the embassy (long story short: before he goes, we must be sure about the relevant papers)
