I got tl Stockholm a day before. I had previously decided to walk to the Embassy for my appointment at 8:30am. I stayed at the Scandic Ariadne hotel. I can highly recommend it. Very close by and great hotel. On the morning of the interview i changed my mind and grabbed a cab instead. 111 swedish kroner for a can ride and 5 min ride to the Embassy. I got there way to early. I arrived at 7:30. I got in the line with a yellow sign. Theres a red sign too looking like a buss stop. Thats not where you line up. Anyway. I was of course the only one in line at the yellow sign. 5 min after i got called up to security. They check your bags and send you off to follow a yellow line to the house where your interview takes place. I was told to walk up right away to window G. A younger man was ready to help me eventhough i was an hour early! He had a checklist, and asked for police report, BC, passport photos, my passport, and my DS-160 confirmation page. Then he asked for affidavit of support. I handed him 3 years worth of tax returns, 6 months of paystubs, letter from employee, the I-134 form. Then he asked if i had previously had a visa to the states and i replied no only Esta visits. Then he asked me how we met and why we were had decided to get married now. Then he asked for evidence. And i handed him a copy of our 129f with 200 pages of pictures and messages and boardingpasses etc. Its a small crack in the window so you have to take the papers out of your briefcase and slide them in. Then i also gave him proof of on going relationship from after we had sent out case in. In that was also two new letters of intent to marry. He then handed me a brown evelope and asked me to write my adress and name on it. He told me to sit down and i did among others waiting. 15 mins passed and i got called up to window D. Heres a new guy asking me to read an oath and took my fingerprint. He was sittng with my case and typing things into a computer. He asked me to tell him about our relationship, what we did as a couple when we were together. About all our travels ( we have seen most of europe together). And then he asked when the wedding was. And if i was aware of the parental priviliges i wouldnt have when we had a baby in the US. We chatted for a bit. And then he said: soo, you guys approve for the visa and congratulations! That it would take cirka 14 business days to recieve the visa and passport. And i had already booked a ticket home for 19th of June, but he said he couldnt guarantee that it would arrive before i had to leave for my fiance. Oops. Dumb me. But i have to see what happens. Overall a very very good experience. The interviewer was so kind and smiling and he made me feel relaxed. I think it was absolutely worth the long trip to Stockholm. Im a happy girl soon to be wife!! :-D Camilla, Copenhagen
