| Embassy Review : |
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 (inappropriate) questions/commentary.

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
