I can't dance very well, but I called the NVC automated system tonight and was overjoyed to hear the system say that my case was completed on April 7th. I guess when the supervisor looked over my case everything was there - just as I thought it was.

So the wait is on now for an interview - June would be perfect but July would be more realistic.

Thanks for all the positive messages.

I had done my interview today (CR1) and I am approved, after the weekend I have back my passport! :dance:

The guy only asked me 2 questions, -Where did you meet your husband and when did you marry him?... After 10 minutes I was on my back out from the embassy! They never asked for any proofs either.

Now the visa process its over for this time. Thanks VJ friends for all support! I’m going to celebrate with a weekend in the mountain and skiing. My husband come to Sweden next week and we are going to have some vacation in Scandinavia before I leave.

Good luck friends!
