embassy told me I needed to update my marital status in my country (split topic)

[ljujas2019 23]

Hi everyone! I could use your support right now... My medical exam is scheduled for December 12 and my interview on December 18. Now, I have received the unfortunate news from the embassy in Stockholm that I need to register my marriage here in Sweden as well, for it to be reflected in my "personbevis" (a civil document containing information about your birth, family, address/ domicile, etc.). This is what the embassy said:

 

"Please note that your personbevis should reflect correct marital status. Upon receipt of the new personbevis – please upload into CEAC and bring original for the interview."

 

I had no idea I needed to do this, especially as we do not plan on living in Sweden and we got married in and intend to live in the US together. There was no information about this component as a requirement for the submission of civil documents to the NVC. The worst part of it all is that it takes 3 months (!!!) to register this information and to update my marital status in Sweden. Also, adding an additional procedure to this already annoying process, it will take a few weeks to apply for and receive the new civil document containing this updated information.

 

Is there anything that can be done at this point or do I need to cancel both my medical examination and my visa interview? I am so sad, having waited for more than a year now and was so excited for the final reunion with my partner.

 

Thank you!

You can still go to the interview knowing the visa won’t be issued until 221g form which you will get is fulfilled. 

I’d get that report of marriage done as requested and see if you can expedite it.

Yes, do the interview and submit the missing document ASAP.
