I had my interview at the embassy in Stockholm, Sweden. I arrived at approximately 7.45 my Interview was set at 8.30. I saw this looooong line that went into a glas "box" but I knew that was for non immigrants. Right infront of the security booth I found the yellow pole and sign for immigrants. I was standing there for about 2 minutes and then the security guards called me up (got to go before everyone in the other line) He looked at my passport and under my shoes. They opened the door so I could go through the "airport" security check. They took my phone, put it in a box and gave me a recipe so I could collect It on my way out. Followed the yellow line up to the building and went inside. There I met another guard and he asked my errand and I said immigrant visa. He then told me to go to booth 7. There I got to talk to a friendly swedish woman and she took the documents that she asked for (not all dokuments that we are told to bring only some of them). She told me to have a seat and wait for my interview. 5 minutes later a nice American guy called me up and I now had my interview. He first asked me to raise my right hand and read the sign on the window. It was of course about telling the truth and nothing but. After he made a joke by asking "And this is the truth?" lol I laughed and said "yes it is" with a clear voice since I was no longer nervous. He asked me to tell our story so I started talking, telling him about how we met etc and he just clarified a few things by asking when, where we met, when we decided to be a couple, how many times we've met and when the last time was. He said he was aware that we had an expedite request and said that our case is approved BUT they can't send me my visa until they recieve my husbands old certified divorce decree. Of course i started crying and he tried to comfort me by saying that "don't worry it is approved and your husband can send it directly to us and once we have it, you will have your visa"... He was really understanding and I calmed down and we said our thanks and goodbye´s. Got approved but also got a 221(g). Overall it was a pleasant interview and it only took about 20 minutes for everything. Like I wrote at the beginning, my appointment was set at 8.30 but I got in before 8am and I was finished and outside by approximately 8.10.
