Our first update!

I wish I had heard from the embassy, but I haven`t and I am getting more and more anxious because I know they only offer one day with k1 appointments a week. At least they did last year.. I am probably overthinking/worrying this, because I dont even want an appointment until probably either very late may or june at the earliest, but how nice would it be to be able to finally plan all these trips and the actual move?!

 

Since my kids dont need visas this feels like a very silly reason to delay stuff, but I also want to do things right. 😕 And they were so quick to send my FTP letter so I dont know why it is taking much longer with a response to an email. I worry they dont have my contact info or something.. I was considering calling during my lunch hour at work today, but it has come and gone and I might just wait until monday. I really hope I can schedule this before I leave for my trip tuesday.

 

Also.. looking at plane ticket prices for july is... woha. X.x Not for the faint of heart, lol. But my fiance is suggesting maybe he comes to help and then we go "home" together. Might be nice. 😃

I called. They just had not processed my request yet. But a few hours later they did.

Then I ran into some problems with the delivery of the visa. Very counter-intuitive. Lol. But I followed the cookie trail to the answer!

 

Ended up here: https://www.ustraveldocs.com/se/en/immigrant-visa
 

Click the right thing and it says this:

 

If you live in Denmark, Finland, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, or Norway and want your visa package to be sent to an address in your home country, enter your address and then select your country from the drop-down menu under “pick-up”.

 

Nice to know. Wish it was on the first page. Lol.

 

Then I did all that, paid the interview fee, blablabla...

 

No slots available. So now that part starts, I guess. XD I wish I could have started this on monday. 😕

But... I will stay strong. Maybe try to scope out when they release new slots? It is so hard to find info on Stockholm though.. I feel like a pioneer. May those that come after me use this very silly thread for knowledge and do better than me - have less stress - that will make it worth it. XD

I will just keep myself busy packing and cleaning this weekend. Travelling to Boston on tuesday, cannot wait to see my love again.

Thank you! You guys give so much nice support. ^-^

I must admit it is a little hard right now, logging on to the usvisascheduling website and it saying "no slots available". If the website even works. I tried last night and this morning and both times the website was insanely slow and kept timing out. I almost thought maybe it is because they put out appointments in the morning and there is a rush of people, but when I finally got in there it was as empty as always.😕 I have been trying since friday and I worry a little bit that they wont add more appointments until the first of may, because last I heard someone was able to schedule a may appointment for april 1st, and there were only 2 days available in all of may, the rest of the year was all red. But I just have to keep trying, we have made it this far so we can make it through the rest of it!

 

Now I have to finish cleaning and packing, because tomorrow morning I am taking 3 different planes and going to Boston. I am so excited to see my fiance and his cat, and help set up the house for our little family. ^.^ My kids are going with their grandparents to Spain for a week while I am gone, and considering I am going to New Hampshire they will have much better weather than me. XD Will miss them terribly, of course, but glad they will be having fun. 😃
