Questions for my upcoming K1 interview at the US Embassy in Stockholm.

[stuckonyou 75]

I booked my interview yesterday, and I have two questions about what I am requiered to bring with me to the interview. So I'm hoping there's other people from Sweden here that's already had their interview and that might be able to help. 🙃

 

First I have a question about the birth certificate they mention in the email with instructions.

First it says: Please provide the original birth certificate from country of birth (Sweden). Followed by: Please request an extract of the population register from the Swedish Tax Agency (Personbevis). The certificate must state the date and place of birth and the names of both parents. Please request the English version.

I have gotten the extraxt from the population register that they're asking for already. It's original with a signature and a stamp on it. Is that enough? Because it confuses me that they first ask for the original birth certificate which as far as I know we don't have in Sweden. I don't know if we did before and I have no contact with my parents. On the Swedish Tax Agency's website they say that the extract mentioned can be used as a birth certificate. So if I bring that with me I should be fine... right? 🤔

 

My second question is about the evidence of relationship they're asking for. I'm putting together evidence from between the I-129F and up until now to prove on-going contact. We haven't met since filing, though, due to wanting to save money and vacation days for the wedding/honeymoon. They're asking for proof of meeting, which we sent in with the original petition... So do I bring the same evidence or do they have that already? Did USCIS/NVC "just" send them the approved I-129F or did they include the whole packet that we sent them?

 

I hope someone can help out! 😇

Q1 - I have a copy of the P3 from Sweden (no date so it could be "old" and there possibly is a newer version) but the copy I have states:  BIRTH CERTIFICATE: Original Swedish ‘Personbevis’ issued in English. The certificate must state
the date and place of birth of both parents and must be from the country where you were born.

 

So reading that it sounds like you have the one you are looking for to use at the interview.

 

Q2.  - They typically do not have a lot of time to review relationship pictures or evidence that you met. So I would keep it as a small "package" and if you have what you submitted at the I-129f you should be fine.
