Review Topic: F-2A Visa

I had my immigrant visa interview on November 13th, 2.5 years after my petition was submitted. I arrived at the embassy at 9am and had to wait outside for a couple of minutes before going through the security control. When I got inside there was one couple before me and one person at window G so I had to wait for about 15 minutes before I could go up to window G as instructed. Once there a woman looked through my file containing the documents previously submitted and she asked me a few questions such as:
How many times have your husband been married? Two
How many times have you been married? Just this time.
Do you have your husbands original divorce decrees? No.
That's alright you can send them to us later.
Why does it say "single" on your Swedish population register extract?
I just never bothered to have it changed.
Okay, you will need to do that.

She then asked me to write my address on an envelope and place the stamps... read complete review

Review Topic: General Review

Hi,

Last week I had interview at STK embassy. In interview after very basic q's about my wife, they asked me to submit CV with specific format. I emailed my CV same day, but still did not heard anything from them. I am wondering if any one else have same experience this? on a very funny side, even before my interview started there was already prepared page with statement that you we regret to let you know that we can not approve you visa at this time, you need to submit your CV and then decision will be taken about your visa. Why embassy did not let me know to bring CV with my documents to give them ? and how much it will take more time to decide............wait is going to be beyond my limits...any suggestion/information this regards will be appreciated.

About experience, it was pretty bad, the lady was in rush, did not bother to look at me and seems like she is just fulfilling formality by asking q's, with very cold face.

regards,
<... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

Husband arrived to embassy at 8:20 am for his 9:00 appointment. Once inside he went to the “infamous” Window G. He got quite a scare from them when they asked for my 2011 tax return (he took a binder with copies of everything we sent during the process: I-130, AOS package and IV package) and medical exam (he had copies of the vaccination record from doctor). He was told to have a seat and wait. So he sat there going over in his mind how much longer he’d have to wait in Denmark until copies of the medical were re-sent and processed in Stockholm .

He was called up for the interview. Fortunately, by interview time they had found the medical exam file and said they didn't need the tax returns. But he offered the copies he had anyways.

The woman at the window started with what seem like odd questions: What's something your wife would like to change about herself? If I asked her what would she say? How do you share your domestic responsibilities with your... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

If memory serves me right, the embassy website says they open at 8: AM. My appointment was at 9:00 AM. I got off the bus at maybe 8:30. The bus stop was right across the street from the US embassy, so that was very convenient. There was a security checkpoint and I was asked to wait outside (it was raining, of course) and stand in line. There were two lines and I obviously went to stand in the wrong one.On the plus side, next to me was an older couple, turned out they were from El Salvador and had lived in Sweden for 25ish years. They were very chatty, so that was nice. Behind me there was a whole bunch of middle aged guys, the members of an orchestra as it turned out.

After a while I noticed I was in the wrong line, though, so I went over to the correct line. There was one person ahead of me in the much shorter immigrant visa applicants line. When it was my turn, a security guard took my passport, ask me to wait behind the line right outside the entrance and show him the... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

I cannot give the Stockholm embassy has high of marks as everyone else. There is a big age difference between my fiancée and me, and since our relationship does not fit into the American norm, my fiancée was treated differently. First, even though she arrived early, her wait was well over an hour. Second, she was asked a lot of questions about our relationship, most of which were based on provincial American morals. The interviewer’s commentary on our relationship was also inappropriate. Last, even though we had copies of the divorce settlement from my previous marriage, the embassy demanded certified (true) copies from the court.

The good news is that the embassy said that the visa would be issued within two weeks of them receiving the paperwork, which we did, so the delay was about one week.

My advice, if your relationship is even slightly outside of the American norm, have originals of all your paperwork and expect a lot of personal (inappropri... read complete review
