I was looking at quoted times recently for people filing when I did and it seemed more like 1.5 years from start to finish, but of course however long it's going to be is what it is and no estimates or comparisons can change that.

 

Hard to say, as you've not completed your timeline - please do, as then your stats contribute to the quoted times, and it helps others going forwards. 1.5 years is possible if your I-130 is approved fairly soon, a lot depends on how quickly you do things at the NVC stage. If you're ready to go, submit your docs, pay your fees, etc, then it may well be late spring rather than summer. 

 

On the plus side, Stockholm is super quick, only 1 or 2 months wait for an interview letter - other countries are 2 years or more just for that stage.

I don't know exactly what the things are they will ask for at the NVC stage, is it the same for everyone or is it personalized case by case? Would it be worth it do you think to look up, maybe ask AI or something, what is likely to be asked for and prepare it ahead of time and hope it matches what they do in fact ask for?

Never, ever use AI for immigration advice! All the info you need is on the official website, it's a step by step guide that tells you exactly what will be needed (make sure you look at the country specific guidelines too) - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-2-begin-nvc-processing.html

Ah yes of course, thanks. I didn't mean to say I would rely on AI alone but rather use it as a tool to try to get some of my things ready ahead of time, and then adjust or add/change things as the real requests are presented to me when I get to NVC.

Everything you'll need is on the website above, it also tells you what you'll need for the interview too. You'll just get a link to that website from NVC anyway, they don't give you a personalised checklist. 

 

Good luck.

Ah ok so it is generic, that is good to know thanks.

It's your own judgment you use to determine which things are applicable to you though.  When the time comes, ask your questions here.  The common problem with AI in these matters is that context is King.  Your specific circumstances are known to you, and not always considered in AI answers.
