Jag förstår lite svenska. I should stress the lite part, but I am working on it. When we move there I will take classes for sure. I do understand a little bit more when I hear it than what I can type.

My husbands interview is in 2 days and I am so nervous. There are so few people from Scandinavian countries that finding out what kind of questions they ask at the embassies doesnt bring about much results. Hopefully on Monday morning I cal log in and tell everyone that he is getting his visa and coming home.

Wow. It's been a long time since I posted here. But I have good news. It has been a long journey to get to the point where I am right now. On Sunday it was six years since my wife and I met in person

Good luck to your husband - oh, I guess he's done by now? It's 3.15 pm on Monday 15th of May here.

I'm sure it all went fine :thumbs:; I haven't heard anything bad about the Embassy in Stockholm, that's where he's doing the interview isn't he?

Just checking to see how everyone is doing. We have not yet filed for AOS as we are trying to time things so that Magnus' adjustment is AFTER our 2nd wedding anniversary so that there are no conditions. We are planning a trip to Sweden in April so our current task is to get passports for my kids so that they can go too.

Welcome aboard Sisu :) I'd guess you have some kind of a Finnish connection too (it's the word sisu that caught my attention ;) )?

Hi here from Denmark

I am engaged with an american and are going to live in South of California when I get my visa.

It's a real rough case we are going through. We started back in june 2005 and still not done with the case.

Emotional it makes us to nervous wrecks and need an answer very soon.

I was hoping for good news before christmas, but realize that this have to be today.

We haven't seen eachother since last christmas here in Denmark.

So a kind of hardbroken to go through those holydays without eachother.

Our case is in London and still pending.

Sweetie
