US Immigration from Sweden

Me and my husbands situation is a little tricky. We got married last month and has been since opened a shared bank account, adding both people to bills and so on. We do, however, have a one issue.

I am still a student (beneficiary) and will be graduating later this year, so I currently live in student housing (off-campus apartment) all year. My husband only graduated recently and has a job etc. The problem is that we cannot get him added to my lease as it is student housing and he is not a student. He is, however, currently living with me and is allowed to tdo so per my lease agreement and communicating with my landlord.

Do we try to prove/confirm that he is living with me through other means (bills etc.) or should we say that due to it being student housing he cannot be added to the lease so we will provide them with a lease later this year when we move in together "officially"?

We obviously do not want to lie. He IS living with me and is allowed to do so. He CANNOT be added to the lease.

If anyone has any ideas on how to go about this, it would be appreciated.

Where did you guys get your foreign diplomas evaluated for the self sufficiency form? I have my high school diploma with me but it is in my native language and not evaluated yet so I would love to get some recommendations that are affordable.

My husband was a student in 2019 and therefore did not make enough money to stay over the minimum requirement for the affidavit of support. He recently started a full-time job so he will be making way above the minimum requirement this year.

Are we able to include his paystubs and his offer letter as his 2019 tax return is too low? Has anyone else done this and been successful?

Hello, does anyone know exactly the type of employment of the United States citizens that work at the US Embassies around the world have?

And if "Phases" are connected to how many are staff currently at the Embassy, like the Passport Operations in Response to COVID-19 FAQ talked about then in "Phase 2 - most staff will return" and "Phase 3 - All remaining staff will return" .

Because the Swedish Government extended their entry ban once again. It was set to expire on July 4th but they decided to extend it to August 31th. And one member in the forum had a theory about why some consulates are opening for "mission-critical" visas and some aren't has to do with the travel restrictions and the American employees of the Embassy being able to return to work and return to routine visas services full staff.

The good news is that with the new travel restrictions for the first time they included more exemptions besides just Swedish citizens and permanent residents that are traveling just for the purpose of returning home.

Here's the list of exceptions; I do not know what type of employment visa or anything that US employees have to live and work at the embassy but I'm hoping it's one of these exempted if anyone can find out for me I would greatly appreciate it.

Who is exempt from the entry ban?

What applies for people residing abroad who will perform work in Sweden will they be allowed to enter?

Does anyone know if the US Embassy employees are exempted?

I figured if it applies to Sweden, it might apply to other European countries as well. Because it says on the press release: The temporary entry ban came into force on 19 March and initially applied for 30 days. It was subsequently extended following European Commission recommendations. The Government has now decided to further extend the entry ban until 31 August 2020.So if the Embassies can get their employees back with the exemptions to the entry ban they can get to doing routine visa processing again.

So If I understand right for the visa interview you must bring everything you sent in to the NVC originals plus copies of them. But I'm confused about the petitioners documents. Do they want a COPY or ORIGINAL Birth Certificate of the Petitioner I can't find where it says what it exactly wants. Here on the interview checklist for Sweden it says for:

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/STK-Stockholm.html#pre_interview_checklist

For family based visa applicants:

• The appropriate Form I-864 Affidavit of Support for each financial sponsor along with a photocopy of the sponsor s IRS transcript or most recent U.S. federal income tax return, and any relevant W-2s.

• Proof of your U.S. petitioner s status and domicile in the United States (photocopy of a U.S. passport, naturalization certificate, or lawful permanent resident card).
  
• Evidence of the relationship between the petitioner and visa applicant(such as photographs, letters, or emails). Please note that you may not bring your phone, tablet or computer to the interview. If you communicate through Skype/Viber/WhatsApp or online platforms, you can instead print screenshots of some of your communications.

But I know it says on the NVC that to bring originals and copies of everything you sent to the NVC. So im confused if my husband is supposed to bring my original birth certificate or will a copy work?

Also do I only need one or two copies of my I-864?

Do I need 1 or 2 copies of everything for the petitioner like the beneficiary?

What do you think or what are all your experiences. Thanks so much.
