Its that way for the Canadian one in Montreal. They only Do K1 interviews on Wednesdays. 

I'm guessing Stockholm only do theirs on Thursdays then. But that really sucks for everyone (such as yourself) that has to wait for a really long time for NOA2 as well..

So, September 14th is our interview date in Stockholm. That was the next available. We were hoping for an August appointment, but we'll take it. It feels good to finally have a date!

 

Congrats to all who've received good news this week!

We have the same interview date! Also, there are no more dates available at the embassy right now.. Pretty crazy how few slots they seem to have for K1s.

Scheduled the medical exactly for the day I wanted! Yay!

For my Ukrainian friends - they didn't ask me any numbers, just my last name. I will only need the KEV number for the medical itself. 

 

Still struggling with DS-160... Managed to complete mine, keep having issues with my daughter's, haven't even started my son's. I wonder if I am particularly dense, or the website is not working properly.

 

 

What browser are you using? Internet explorer or firefox usually works better than chrome for some reason..

We are Sweden as well!!! Congratulations! Our NAO2 was June 20, so any day now!!!

Woo!! That's exciting! You should definitely get your packet 3 very very soon. Are you doing your medical in Stockholm or Gothenburg?

Thank you for the quick answer, Scandi! I will contact the embassy.

 

It would also be very interesting to hear about the experiences of someone who applied for a waiver of the 2 year rule.

To my understanding it would be a "No Objection Statement" that would be the most relevant for me to apply for?

 

Is it then so that the processing time is highly dependent on what country I appeal about this for? So in my case Sweden. 

 

Thank you,

EngineerSwede

I thought I was a subject to the 2 year rule (it says I am on my J1 Visa) and applied for a waiver before we applied for a K1 Visa. The entire process took about 10 months due to various things, for example lost mail. I ended up contacting my congressman about it since I was way out of processing time too. Turned out I wasn't a subject to the 2 year rule at all (according to DOS).. Maybe you aren't either? It could be worth looking into, even if it says you are on your visa.  

I think I read about someone that did the K1 and found out at the interview that they had to get a waiver for the 2 year rule. And once they got the waiver the visa was approved.

Yes, sorry. I mean US citizen.

 

Thanks everyone for your help!

 

Also want to check if anyone knows, when filing the I-864, Affidavit of Support, would my own income count? If I am able to support myself with my current job, how important is it that he'd be able to support both him and me with his own income?

Your income doesn't count, nor does your savings etc.
