Consulate Review: Sweden Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : March 25, 2018 Embassy Review : My appointment time was at 8:30. I was waiting in the queue from 7:30. The embassy opened at 8:00. I was told to show my passport through the window, then I had to show my bag and it’s content. They told me to take off my jacket, turn around and show the bottom of my shoes. After that I was let in and put my belongings in a tray so they could X-ray it. I went through a metal detector like the one they have at the airport. After that I was told to follow the yellow line. I came to a room with a lot of chairs and was told to go directly to hatch number 7. There was a very nice lady there speaking Swedish. She asked me for the originals of some of the documents I sent in earlier. She pointed out that she was not the person who was going to interview me. But she gave me some questions anyway. More of a small talk. She asked me to take a seat and wait for my name to be called out. It took about 15 minutes. I went to the hatch just to the right of the lady I talked to at first. There was a nice male officer there who asked me to put my fingers in a kind of camera. He asked me if I was going to answer honestly and of the best of my knowledge and I said “Absolutely “. Then he asked me maybe 15-20 questions. Some of them the lady before asked. After that he congratulated me for passing and that I could expect to get my passport back with the mail within 10 days. It only took 3 days to get my passport and the envelope in the mail. Very good experience. Nice people. Rating : Very Good

*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.
