Just want to share that my visa was approved at the Stockolm embassy yesterday !!! It is such a great feeling!!

:dance: :dance: :dance:

The interview was very easy, my husband got to go in with me. The lady asked about our story, how we met and how it developed and that was it. It took max 7 minutes. The hardest part was without a doubt the waiting... we were early and waited for an hour.

I'll write a more detailed review in the embassy/consulate section.

It's gonna be a merry merry Christmas this year :rofl:

Congrats!!! :dance: :dance:

I was also approved! It sure was an "easy" interview in Stockholm yesterday. (My interview took about 5-7 minutes...) A great day that I will remember forever!

I'm sure you feel the same! :)

Merry Christmas!

Thank you everyone!!!

Have a great New Years with your husband and inlaws!

I really hope so!! It'd be great if you let me know when you receive yours, cause then I'll know mine should be on the way :) It'll probably take a bit longer to get to Norway.

The holidays will make time fly fast and you'll be with your husband before you know it :)

Merry Christmas!
