Experiences interview Stockholm embassy

[Emelie 0]

Hi! There have now been a couple of weeks since my visa was finally approved and I wanted to share some experiences from the embassy in stockholm. The interview was at 8.30 on october 18th. Me and my husband live in the south part of Sweden and had a early morning train there the day before. We tried to enjoy Stockholm for a couple of hours the night before but I was to nervous to enjoy anything. I constantly kept looking, do I have all my papers?

The next morning we woke up at 6. We once again tried to enjoy our little "mini vacation" and had some really nice breakfast together,but again I was sooo nervous (good thing my husband have the ability of always stay calm). After this we took the bus to the embassy in stockholm. We had read in the instruction to NOT stand in the non immigrant visa line (which was the only line at that time) we told the sequrity guard we had a meeting for an immigrant visa, but were still sent to the non immigrant line (with 20 student already waiting) after 40 minutes of wait and our interview time passed my husband again went to the sequrity guard and this time he let us in (it was a missunderstanding, apparently he sent us to stand "in the other line" but there wasnt any at this time) So the everyone going to the embassy meeting in stockholm. DO NOT STAND IN THE NON IMMIGRANT LINE

The sequrity guard was, although the misunderstanding, very friendly and polite! When we came into the embassy we first went to a window to leave the requested documents. Was very surprised when the woman in the window talked to me in swedish =) This woman was really friendly and gave us some instructions to write our adress and put stamps on a big envelope. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE FORGET, YOU HAVE TO BRING STAMPS! I live in Sweden and needed stamps worth of 120 sek, if u live in another part of scandinavia it will be different. Read the instructions carefully!

After this we had to wait for about 30 minutes before our interview started. Me and my husband was called up and we took the oath. Another friendly woman had our interview. She asked us to tell our story, how we meet and how much time we spent together. She asked where our marriage was held and how Justin proposed. She after that looked at some pictures that we sent to USCIS. When we told her that we had a lot of more photos, emails etc with us if she wanted to see she just smiled at us, said is wasnt needed and that our visa was approved!! Me and my husband celebrated with champagne when we got home =)

3 days after my visa arrived in the mailbox! Now our apartment is packed into boxes and we are ready to move!! POE will be in Chicago on November 16th

Which u all the best!

Congrats on your approval and thank you for sharing your experience! I'm doing my interview in Stockholm on Dec. 13th. Very excited but I'm sure I'll be just as nervous as you were

Did you do direct consular filing? Reason I'm asking is because your husband was with you

No I did not. My husband has been living with me in sweden since december but he is not a resident, he is here on an extended visitors visa and therefore we could not do direct consular filing. Im sure ur interview will go well, they were all so friendly and helpfull! Now I feel kinda stupid for worrying so much =) Just bring stamps and make sure u stay in the immigration line =) Also, taking the bus to the embassy is a good idea. Takes about 10 minutes from stockholm centralstation and stops right outside of the embassy. So taxi is very unnecessary.
