All of this craziness took place in Sweden???

Wow!!!

I wish you the best. Sounds like a bit much to me...to be interviewed by 7 people in Sweden

(Wry comment) It sounds as though some of the arses from the consulate in Ecuador have been transferred to Sweden, si man.

This is not the first recent post from someone who has encountered difficulties. Go to the appropriate Regional subforum, and also search the posts of other VJ members who are dealing with Sweden. Something is screwy, and only rapid and thorough public communication can prevent you and others from walking into a previously unknown hornet's nest.

This is highly, almost impossibly unusual, particularly from Sweden. How did the consulate know you were in Sweden? How did they contact you? How were you requested to go to the consulate? Under what pretense? You have not made an application for a visa, what reason would they use to summon you to the consulate? I am not doubting you, I am asking serious questions for the benefit of the membership. Your description doesn't give any tanglible details for other members,

What exactly did 7 men ask you for 2 hours? What was the main malfunction? Typically, interviews are less than 5 minutes, typically less than 2 minutes. What was it that interested them for 14 man hours of questioning? I mean, 14 man hours, that is a LOT. A university world history course would barely have 14 hours of lectures, what did they ask?

Please give us details of how this happened and why, if you can.

Upon further review...I call "horsesqueeze" Surprised that Tbone's intestinal excrement of male bovine detector didn't sniff this one.

Impossible. USC presence is not required at the interview and the consulate would have no way to know you are in the country or how to summon you. Please stop wasting our time.

OP's fiance is an Iraqi living in Sweden who applied for asylum in that country in 2007.

If your intent is to inform members, then you should do so. Posting under a flag of Sweden when your fiance is Iraqi is misleading and not giving details of all the issues you had serves no purpose. Nothing like what happened to you will happen to people marrying Swedish citizens and going through the US consulate in Sweden. The result (but maybe not purpose) of your post was to worry a lot of people unnecessarily. Please give all the details if you intend to inform.

I retract my call of "horsesqueeze" Good luck.

what gives you the right to be rude...i would not make something like this up...it scared the ncrap out of me and yes there was every official there including 3 regional security officers (FBI),the consulate,the junior conselate,and 2 other men i forget there titles.seeing as i was scared shitless. id love to have been anywheres else but there i can assure you.They asked about my pervious marriages what my ex did for work .where we lived,how long married,about my trips to sweden why i stayed so long when it is so expensive to live there,my fiancees family ,there ages,what the do in sweden for work and school.how they got t sweden,how long they live in sweden,they ask if i ever doubted my fiancees feelings for me ,if he offer me money to marry him.what alen and i do in sweden together all these months.about my parents ,and my children,whether they finish school,if they go to college and where,how they feel about alen.if we speak to them often,how i could leave my home for so many months.how did i pay my bills while in sweden.who took care of my home and animals.and many more but to be honest i cant remember nit all i was so freaked out and i did feel i was being interrogated.so yes it did happen and it may be rare for sweden but it happened.they did inform me that they werent being that way because alen is from iraq but this is a first i have heard of in sweden.

In the future, in cases of an 'unusual' post, it's not hard to go back to the member profile for further details. A simple hunt through past posts is also easy enough to do.

It's not hard but it can still be time consuming. It's not our full time job (although for some it seems like it is) to go through people's life story here. When I first read her post, my first reaction was "NO WAY" but luckily she had something posted in November that talks about her situation. What if this was from months and months back?

Bridget - this definitely happens anywhere. It happens in France too when the beneficiary happens to have roots in an Arab country. You're right, your case seem to have all the wrong keywords enough to send an entourage your way. Best of luck on your interview day.

It's true it can take a bit of time.

Or one can just summarily call the OP a liar.

The alternative might be to ask the OP why they think this has happened.

Up to each person to decide how they handle themselves.
