Embassy Review : |
Hi,
I cannot believe that it took 83 days from NOA 1 to an approved visa at the interview at the US embassy in Sweden.
So to share my experience? I feel bad for all the people in the non-immigrant line outside, i counted quickly to 20 and was not even finished. However, if you are like me; filing for a K1 remember to stay in the IMMIGRANT line. This line has their own little sign so just stop next to it and wait for the polite office to call you in for the security. Pass through and move on to window G as stated in the guidelines from the embassy. The nice old lady that I talked to checked off all the required papers and only took photos for the evidence part.
Sit down and wait for your name to be called.
After, not more than 10, they called my name to a window where you had to read out the oath in either Swedish or English. This time the interview itself occurred, a lady asked me no more than 5 questions which probably is very situational and not the same. However, the base seems to be: How did you two met? When was the last time you saw her? What does she do? What do you do?
That was it. She said that my visa was approved and it will arrive by mail in less than two weeks.
NOTE: DO NOT BRING ENVELOPE IF YOU ARE A SWEDISH RESIDENT. This is only for other nordic countries. |

Embassy Review : |
Experience overall: 7/10.
They are rebuilding the entrance hall at MSP, let me tell you that it is a ************* right now. However, I have to say that it went fairly smooth since the line a K-1 visa holder need to find is all over on the other side (you get what I mean when you step in to the CBP area) with a small sign with the text "new immigrants" - go there! Took us a little over 10 minutes to be called, handed over the envelope and 30 minutes later we were done.
Must have been someone new at CBP because we ended up in second screening and after a small chat everything was fine and my passport had a stamp and I walked through the gates in to my new homeland. |

*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.
