Okay just heard about others who have said it took 3 hours, so I was nervous we would have to be there for a very long time since we are two.

Maybe it was the Swedish one they were talking about?! It takes about two to three hours. About one to two hours at the x-ray clinic and another hour at the medical clinic. Not sure if it's the same setup in Denmark.

Met online October 2010

Yes the X-ray place is slow.

I know I'm ahead of things here since we haven't even got the NOA2 yet, but he comes to visit in a month and just want to make sure he has time to get stuff collected.

How does this sound for the interview?? I'm I missing anything?

Him:

  • New letter of intent to marry
  • Form I-134 Affidavit of support
  • Statement from work stating:Date and nature of employment, salary paid, weather position is temporary og permanent.
  • Copies of last two pay stubs and previous W-2 for the associated employer
  • Copy of NOA2 received in the mail (This he can't bring since he won't be home when it comes so he'll mail this to me)

Me:

  • Both our birth certificates in English
  • My police record in English
  • Both Passports + pictures
  • Proof of sole custody
  • Proof of ongoing relationship
  • Letter of intent to marry

Well i don´t think Stockholm likes Emails.

Nothing back from my email to them yet.

I went another way also and wrote NVC about it also.

They normally get back to you fast, but not this time.

So maybe "No news is good news" in this case.

Hope you all have a great day, i have ½ day off and will go look for good places to take pictures.

Btw. I looked at hotel and tickets to sweden i found a packet for 1500 dkk for it all. Then comes travel from airport to Stockholm.

They must be short staffed or something because they don't seem to be answering anyone at the moment. I emailed them nine days ago and still no answer. :( Also, CEAC hasn't updated after they received our new documents yesterday so I guess that means they haven't even logged them. :( Very frustrating, especially since they've had my passport now for almost two months.

And you can´t call them and ask?

Or are they not picking up either?

I just hope something will happen soon for you.

This has taken way to long.
