Hi guys! Im leaving for Stockholm wednesday for the interview on thursday. I have some final questions of course :-) did i need to get stamps for the brown evelope that they send my passport in later on if approved? If so how many? I think i read it a long time ago but im not sure? How did you guys do it? Since im from denmark im guessing i need some stamps for it? And is there any final fees to be paid on the day or before the interview? The ds160 is of course paid and done. But i just wanna make sure. The checklist doesnt say anything about that. Big hugs to you all:-))) Camilla

I would assume it's the same for Denmark as it is for Norway - no stamps. :) They take care of both the envelope and the stamps.

Yesterday evening I got back to Pittsburgh. I've visited family and friends back home in Västerås. I had a wonderful time. Saw a bunch of people, ate some good food that I've missed (chicken with cash

Wow. It's been a long time since I posted here. But I have good news. It has been a long journey to get to the point where I am right now. On Sunday it was six years since my wife and I met in person

Hi Camilla.

I can tell you that you absolutely do not need stamps. You'll write your name and address on a large envelope while you are at the embassy. The embassy will pay the postage. Best of luck with the interview and hope you enjoy your time in Stockholm with your sister.

I know the feeling. I had been so stressed out prior to the interview that when it was over and they had told me I had been approved I got a really bad migraine attack that lasted 1 1/2 days because I was finally able to relax, the pressure was off :P

You'll be fine! Like Brewlin said, they are pretty relaxed at the embassy in Stockholm. Very nice and professional.

Ok, thanks! Did you follow this on "my case status" and then waited for package 3 to be received by email? or did you call NVC for the case number?

Well during our case we had contacted our Congressman. He hadn't done anything during out actual process but when we were approved he actually contacted NVC and got us the case number so we never had to deal with that. I also received a letter from NVC not long after with the case number and then I got the checklist email (they don't call it package 3) to prepare for the interview. I received the email 1 day after it was delivered to the embassy.
