October 20th.
I walked up to the building, and at first I had trouble finding the immigration line, but it's there. A sign in front of the other non-immigration line. I arrived earlier than my appointment, at around 8:10. Was called up to the security window and both me and my daughter who I had with me, took our jackets off. Very kind security guards. Since I didn't want to walk through Stockholm without a bag, I did bring a bag with me, wide enough to fit my documents. There were no problems, I just showed them the inside of the bag before I was let in for the secondary security check (like the airport kind). Gave my cell phone to them and received a card for the return of my phone. Followed the yellow line, went into the embassy. Sat down at a table, but soon my name was called up to window A. Spoke to a kind young lady, she was Swedish but we spoke English anyway. I gave her the documents she wanted, wasn't much. The marriage certificate was probably the most important thing here. Sat down again, to wait for the actual interview. I thought it was going to be conducted inside a room, but I was called up to window D, a young American guy, very friendly, told me that is the interview. He also said hello to my daughter  The interview was over rather quickly, we've been married for 14 years and I had our daughter with me. The interviewer were relaxed and joking around with me a bit, I think he could see that I was not super nervous. There's no need to be really, unless if you have a super complicated case. They didn't even want our 2014 tax return that the interview letter had stated. Perhaps because our joint-sponsors tax return was with them already. Great experience! Just a bit dark and crowded in there, and I wished we could have sat down for the interview in more private but it is over rather quickly anyway. I will get my package and passport back after 10 days he told me. Can't wait.
