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

Hey guys! First post in this thread.

My application has made it's way to the Stockholm Embassy and the case status website says "Ready" although we have not received packet 3 via email or post yet, my question is am I able to complete the DS-160 and book my interview now? or do I need to wait for packet 3 before I do any of this (I have already booked my medical)

Many thanks

Good question! When did your arrive at the embassy? I've been wondering this too but it just say on the instructions that interview booked before the mail will be cancelled. But usually they sent the mail like 2-3 days after they receive it so don't know...

It arrived this week on Monday April 4th and on Tuesday the status online changed to "Ready", my fiance has been checking but as of yet no email has been sent to either of us.

Also I'm not a citizen of any Scandinavian country, I'm from the UK so I thought they might take a little longer to include the extra information they need from my home country.

Yeah we are checking spam folders, I think we will probably just wait a few more days, last thing I want to do is send the application before they are ready for it :)

Hey everyone.

Joining this forum. Just got my NOA2 this week and very excited for the next step. So glad to read about the process for the Stockholm embassy from people going through the same process.

And also, does anyone know how the waiting time for an interview is looking at the moment?

Hey everyone! Me and my guy are currently awaiting the NOA2, but I've already started looking into the vaccinations that I may or may not need to get in preparation for the medical. (From my understanding, getting the vaccines isn't required for the medical itself, only for the AOS -- but, if possible, I would like to have all of this done before the medical anyways.)

So basically, I'm wondering if someone could give me any clarity as to which vaccines I need to have (a female, about to turn 27). I can't seem to figure this out on my own, despite my efforts. My main concern is whether or not I need to get the Heb B vaccine, since that one takes like 6 months to get, but I'm unsure of whether it's even required for me based on my age and nationality?

I on from my phone so Can't see if your Danish or not. But as a child I got all the ones for the kid vaccines and therefore I didn't needed any vaccines at all. But the doctor will tell you at the medical when you bring your vaccination card :)

I'm from Sweden. I've been trying to obtain my vaccination records for a while now but so far I've had no luck (I moved around a bit as a kid so I've been having trouble figuring out who has them). I don't really know for sure which vaccines I have already, which is why I wanted to try and get a headstart.

But again, I mainly care about the Heb B one, since that one seems like such a hassle. Do you know if it's necessary, Georgia?

Well if you can't find it then get a blood sample and they can see what you have.

But no the hep. B isn't necessary ..
