The appointment for my husband was @ 8:30 this morning - arrived there on time. He had to wait in front of/next to the sign that clearly states interview for immigrant visas. There's a glass booth across, but that queue is for non-immigrant visas. Luckily he was the only one for the immigrant visa, so he only had to wait about 5 minutes before being addressed by the security guard. My husband had to show his passport, take off his coat, turn around, show the bottoms of his shoes before proceeding inside where he went through an airport security check. Then it was a matter of following a yellow line to another building where documents/pics were collected, going to certain windows, waiting and then being interviewed. He was asked the usual questions like where we met, the reason for applying for a visa, etc. The whole process took about an hour, but the interview was very brief. My husband read an oath in English and his fingerprints were taken, as well as personal photos being returned. He got a section 221(g) letter, which explains the reason(s) for not being issued a visa. Apparently, he had provided the wrong "personbevis." It did state the particulars of when and where he was born as well as info pertaining to his parents. BUT it didn't contain info about me - the spouse. So make sure that when you request a personbevis (in English) at Skatteverket, that you ask for "PERSONBEVIS MED ALLA RELATIONER" with a stamp and signature. The other thing was that my husband didn't have an updated police certificate because the police is SLOW. Hopefully once those two documents are provided, then the case will be reviewed and hopefully he'll be issued a visa so we can be outta here soon. But overall, my husband said he had a pretty good experience. And everyone was friendly.
