Thanks everyone!

When booking the interview date in Stockholm, do you usually get a date that's pretty close in time, or are free dates only available in a couple months ahead?

I booked my appointment on July 27 and the first available appointment was August 11 (and then two available appointments on August 18 and two on August 25, couldn't see further than that).

It's typically a month or so out, unless someone recently cancelled. They only do K1 interviews on Thursdays, and there are five slots every Thursday.

If it isn't difficult, it isn't worth it.

Sure, and my K-1 interview was on a Monday. It happens in some odd cases, but other than those few times it's only on Thursdays.
