Account registration: Swedish Embassy, Norwegian Name [edited title]

[Nywoek 55]

Is this still the right place to post this? Im not sure. Anyway.

 

I went to the Swedish embassy page to continue the application process, and they had me make an account with them. However, I am confused on two fronts:

 

1. They made a big deal about my name. I have a norwegian letter in it, so I cant use my actual name. The problem is that in my ftp letter they write it with one A, but in my passport it both says the norwegian letter Å but at the bottom with a bunch of numbers it is replaced with two As. An Å is basically two As so that makes sense, but since nvc has my name with an A should I also do that? In the 129f application we wrote it with an A plus in the section where you can add special characters we spelled it correctly. My ESTA however, spells it with two As..

 

2. I started off with an account and it asks for my country. So I picked Norway, because it isnt asking for where I want my appointment. But then when I managed to sign in it is stuck on Norway so now I dont even know if I can make an appointment? This is very confusing to me. X_X I am assuming this should be Sweden, since that is where I have to interview?

 

I started off making an account, writing the name like the nvc letter and picking Norway. Then I made another when I realized the mistake. I used a different email, but it might be on file as my second email? Now I cannot log in at all...

 

Should I make a third account? At that point I might need a new email. What a mess. X_X Luckily I havent put in my passport info or anything yet.

I can still log into the original account, so something obviously went wrong with account number two. Sigh.

 

It is confusing though, the wording says "Country from which you are applying". Can I still use Norway, even if I need to go to Sweden? I mean Im still applying FROM Norway?

 

I feel very... not smart. ;_;

Even though you are Norwegian, the country that you will be applying from is Sweden since that is the embassy where you will be submitting your application.

Yeah, I figured. 😕

Guess I will have to make a third account, because it seems the second one has been banned.

Well I fixed my second account where I could still input Sweden. I got rid of the error message by adding some numbers to my secondary email, because I was using the same one for my second account. That fixed that problem.

 

However, I am very concerned about this name business.

 

My passport has a part where it says my name with two As.

My esta has two As because that is how I registered it.

My NVC papers only has one.. probably because my fiance wrote it that way on our papers.

 

But the website clearly states: "Applicant's first and last name should match the name mentioned on their passport and cannot be modified after it is entered."

 

So I think i have to make a third account with the double As and Sweden as my country. Sigh.
