Soon, very soon will I have my VISA in hand, had the interview in Stockholm last thursday. The only thing i had missed was to bring a tax form from my wifes latest tax filing.

I didnt realise that she had to file taxes in the US since she has lived in Sweden all her life.

So she filed taxes and I'm gonna send the embassy a copy of that form, after that they will issue the VISA for me.

So, 26/8 is the date when we are moving :)

Did they treat you well at the embassy? I keep telling my husband I will complain loud & clear if they give him a hard time. :)
