So excited, going to my interview on Tuesday, leaving on Monday to Stay at the Best Western at Karlaplan.I should be able to walk from there to the embassy, anyone know?

Never been there but Google says it's only a 18-20 minute walk so it's fine. Good luck with your interview!

Yesterday evening I got back to Pittsburgh. I've visited family and friends back home in Västerås. I had a wonderful time. Saw a bunch of people, ate some good food that I've missed (chicken with cash

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

I stayed there! It's really easy to walk, I printed out a map in case I got lost, didn't even need it once. Maria is right, 20 minutes sounds accurate. Good luck!! :D

It's a 3 minute walk along Vasagatan, find Systembolaget and walk in that direction. It's a bit tricky to find the actual entrance if I remember correctly but as long as you're walking in the right direction along Vasagatan you should be fine :) I feel super lost every time I go to Stockholm...

Yes it's written somewhere on the top of the letter if I remember correctly.

You just follow the signs inside the train station. It's really easy. And then you buy your ticket either from a machine (which is a little cheaper) or if you prefer personal help, there are manned booths to buy from.

Good luck with your interview.

Hi! I've been reading every single post all weekend and I must say I'm really glad I'm not the only one feeling confused :P I'm Swedish, my hubby is from Texas. We got married there in 2010 and he's been living with me in Sweden since 2011. Now we've jumped on this crazy visa journey and hopefully it will get us back to Texas in no time ;) We sent in the I-130 26/7, got our NOA1 11/8 and exactly a month later we got our NOA2. Now we are bugging NVC every other day to get our case-and IIN number. Last Friday my hubby called them and they said they have our paperwork but they need to put in in their system. They said they expect to be able to give us the numbers within 42 days from the NOA2... Hurry up then!!! I think we have gathered almost all the required paperwork except the I-864, we are waiting on our sponsor to do their part back in the US. I can't wait to be done with all the paperwork, mixed messages and lack of clean and simple instructions. Or maybe they are easy but I make them harder to understand :P Congratulations to all of you who already have your visas and good luck to the rest of us :)
