Oh, that explains it. Thank you.

Not sure if it's a bug or if it's supposed to be like this, but I can't change my avatar anymore. Maybe new members can only change avatar once?

I wish I lived in a city and not in a hut in the middle of nowhere.

Seriously, this forum is awesome, so many great answers and advice. Ni är änglar!

I think the closest city has a photo booth that takes colour photos that are 5x5 cm, which should be fine. Or else I'll just have to ask around like Maria said.

Thank you, that sounds good. The closest city might have a photo booth, so if that's good enough then it seems easier and cheaper than I thought.

So basically US passport photos is all I need, I never need any Swedish sized ones ever during the whole K-1 journey?

How do they expect you to have US passphotos when you're in Scandinavia? I've been searching the net and haven't found any place around here that takes photos that are 2x2 inches?

Thank you so much for your replies, Maria and CplusC86!

Sthlm is about twice the distance away from here compared to Gbg, I'm in Skåne. But I was thinking that maybe I can book the medical and the interview the day after each other so I can do it all in just one trip? I mean, no point in going to Gbg if I have to go to Sthlm anyway, right? But this might not be possible to do, I don't know?

I also don't know how long it takes to do the medical. Is it a full-day thing or just a couple of hours? Has anyone been called back for more tests at a later stage?

Luckily I have a friend living in Sthlm who'll guide me through the whole "Sthlm experience", and I might be able to stay with her while there too. So that part makes me worry a little bit less at least, haha.

Thank you so much for the information, Maria!

( ) MEDICAL EXAMINATION: Arrange for a medical examination with one of the Embassy approved panel physicians listed on: http://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/Medical/STK%20-%20Stockholm.pdf
You are responsible for the cost of the examination. A medical examination is also required for each child who will accompany you. This medical examination will also be accepted by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service for adjustment of status to lawful permanent residence.

So according to this info I can only choose between two doctors to have the medical examination.. Do you or anyone else know how long it usually takes? I will need a lot of planning for this and the interview as I live nowhere near close to Stockholm and I don't know the city at all.

Thanks again for all the useful info, great thread.
