Gosh, this thing with SSNs in the US is driving me CRAZY. You can't do a single thing without it. Wish they'd issue the SSN at the same as the visa so you could set up some things before moving over.

Yes it´s a pain in the butt.

I´m glad i have one from last time.

We went to a office building and got one fast.

Like within days after.

Life in Sweden without a personnummer isn't exactly the easiest thing, either. Aargh!

Or Denmark without a CPR number. At least in America, you can enroll children in public school without a SSN.

Hi

I had my interview at 2 feb 2016 and was asked for some more documents which I sent them in a week. I wonder how long does Admin. processing take in US embassy in sweden? does anybody have a rough estimation? since I have heard some people in some other countries are in AP for over 2 months : and I am getting worried.

thanks

We got the checklist today!!

Mahdieh360: the embassy have been slow lately, most likely due to the new rules for VWP. So I'm sure you will get your visa fairly soon! But with that said, some rfe will take longer than other...what did they want you to submit?

they asked me to submit a new police certificate since the one they had expires in may. and my husband's employment letter. They also had not recived my medical.

I dont know why to each organization my case arrives, it becomes slow . I was at turtle vermont center, then NVC with all technical difficulties and now this VWP (. I hope it does not take more than 1 month. do yo uthink if we can contact them regarding status ?

At least in Sweden and in Denmark if you don't have a personnummer/CPR, you just do your date of birth and the last four digits is 0000, and you're good to go. That's how I survived in Denmark until I got my CPR.

Yeah, they've slowed down now due to the new rules for the VWP plus I think they're changing staff. They took close to two weeks to issue my visa once they got our final reply to the 221(g). The US Embassy in Sweden are pretty fast at completing AP though compared to many other countries.

I thought our case was the slowest with 17 and a half months but you have us beat. How come your case was stuck for so long at USCIS? Almost a year and a half. Ouch.

I want this process to be over. next time you see me in TED show talking about hardship of LEGAL migration to USA

No believe me, I am the record holder of being the longest application processing time. no body else has worst situation than me. this vermont service center seems to be a cursed one. I am telling every person I know to change their US address if they are forced to file in vermont!!
