Interview - Conditional Approval Question

[Brittany95 36]

Hi everyone,

 

My wife (from Denmark) had her immigration interview on Tuesday, January 29 in Stockholm, Sweden. They told her that our application is great, however, before they can issue the visa, they need her to re-submit a new birth certificate. She is getting that document tomorrow and she will overnight mail it to the embassy in Stockholm, so they should have it on Monday of next week. How long does it take them to approve documents that have been mailed to them? They said once they receive and approve the document, they will be able to issue the visa and mail her passport back to her. I am getting very impatient and do not have a lot of faith that they will look at the document and approve it right away, just based on how long the entire process takes already. Does anyone have any idea on how long we could be looking at to get her visa issued? Thanks in advance!

I don't understand how they can "approve" a application before they have all the required documents....the real approval, it seems to me, is when the visa is actually issued....anyway, I hope you get a very swift issuance and return of her passport.....stay positive!!!

Yeah, I guess I worded that improperly. Basically, they said once they approve that document that will be mailed to them, we'll be fully approved and they'll issue the visa.

Oh...OK.......thanks.......I've seen several posts recently which said "The visa was approved....but....."  Anyway, good luck.......this whole process certainly requires a GREAT deal of knowledge, planning, time, patience, and money!!!
