We are still awaiting our NOA2 but applicant from sweden here. Adding it to follow your progress and sharing my own :)

I had to file with this embassy back in Jan 2023 for visitors visa (lost WVP back in 2011) and that process was fairly quick, took about 2 months from aplication to getting my passport back.

One thing that does come to mind that you could try looking into is where you can claim your passport after your visa's have been completed, as I had to pick mine up in Stockholm aswell.

 

Best of luck to you all :)

Decided to write an update for you guys since you will be using the Stockholm embassy. ^^

 

Basically they release interview dates in a pattern I am not sure about. I have been trying for a while and randomly I got an appointment. It was kind of late during the work day in Sweden since it was before lunch here in the US (I am currently visiting). There were only dates available in june when I checked, and only mondays. The day I picked had 2 appointments 8.30 and 8.45. I know someone who got a may appointment on the first of april so I do not understand their pattern unfortunately. So the best advice I have is to check once in the morning and once before the office closes maybe. They do not have a lot of appointments, but that is probably because there are not a lot of people needing these interviews, so don't get discouraged and best of luck to you!

We didnt get a specific date, but we asked the week after they told us they did not have it yet so I would not wait that long. XD As long as they have responded to the previous inquiry, I don't think there is an issue asking for another, as long as you wait at least a little. XD

I am having a nice time here. Going through the passport control was a little scary, but I brought all sorts of documentation just in case. We are just hanging out and having little adventures together while setting things up at the house. ^^

 

My interview is the 16th of june. :) I could have gone for a week earlier, but I wanted to make sure I have enough time to go to my medical after my new passport arrives.

Just an update, we send our inquiry again, and we got reply back that they haven't received it yet, and said it might take 6 weeks. Now it's been a month..🥲 frustrating..

Do not get too discouraged, just keep trying. Depending on their mailing date, you might get lucky and a lot will happen rather quickly. :) Just keep messaging them every week or so, eventually you will have the number and see your case reach the embassy. ^^

 

I managed to schedule my interview for june btw, so it did not take months and months (although I guess june is still a while away and technically 3 months since our case went to the embassy.. lol)
