Hi,

I had my interview on November 17th for my K1 visa in Stockholm and the consular officer said my case looked good and that I was approved. Now when I check the visa status at CEAC website it says "ready for inteview" and was updated last on November 18th. I emailed the embassy yesterday and got the reply which said "Dear Madam, Your case is still under review. We will notify you if more information is needed"

What does this mean? Has this happened to anyone else?

Once the interview is booked you don't need to worry about the expiration date :no:

Är du helt säker på det? Jag hade inte tänkt på det när jag bokade but I wanted the earliest time slot possible. I asked the embassy if there was a waiting list but there wasn't, I can reschedule my appt for an earlier date if there is a cancellation, however.

I think our USCIS appr expires on Feb 17, though. So regardless, it shouldnt be a problem. I am extremely sick of waiting though :(

Tack för hjälpen! Ska kolla in Scandinavian forum!

Another question! It says I need to give them military records. Does this only pertain to people who have been in the military? I haven't. Swedes aren't called to screening anymore either and Im a woman, so I don't need to be exempt.
