There is a specific Police Certificate for USA Visas. you can find it through Politiet.no 
Mine was all in English and I received it digitally. I never received a Norwegian copy, and the embassy excepted it without any problems. 

the DS-160 has some questions that potential are time consuming to find the answers too. But it only askes for information about the"beneficiary". 
-list ever country you have visited in the last 5 years
- list every time you have (ever) entered the USA, and the number of days you stayed
- list every secondary of higher educational institution I have attended, and when you have attended it. 
- they also want your work history, but I think it only wants the last 5 years. 

 3 and 4
The US embassy in Sweden's webpage states that you may not book your embassy interview before receiving packet 3(embassy checklist).
But you can make your account with the embassy before receiving packet 3, enter all the personal info(like e-mail) and pay the appointment fee. I did this, and therefore I as the "beneficiary" also received a copy of packet 3 directly to my e-mail. 
 
5 
I received a full copy of the medical paperwork at the embassy interview including the DS-3025. 
 
 6.1 
List of stocks and bonds
The embassy wants "recent" dates on the the letter of intent to marry and your I-134(and relay anything your fiance brings to the interview)So if you send them to your fiance to early he/she might be asked about getting a new copy at the embassy interview. 
 
 6.2 
you also need the DS-160 confirmation

Have you checked the format of the print out? When I printed a form from my Swedish laptop it didn't print with US standard, but regular A4 that we have in Scandinavia, causing the bottom of the form not to print properly (partly missing). I didn't notice this and had the petition rejected (the reason they gave me was the same as yours, "outdated form").
 
That might not be the issue at all though, many people have gotten their applications rejected for no reason. USCIS makes errors. If nothing is wrong with your form all you can do is refile. Don't forget to add a copy of the i-485 NOA1 as proof of having a pending i-485 so you get the i-765 for free. You could also add an explanation.

After you are married you fill a Adjustment of Status. For that you need form I-485 Adjustment of Status, and I-864 Affidavit of Support. Optional forms you can fill for free at the same time are I-131 Advance Parole(allows you to travel outside the US earlier) and I-765 Employment Authorization (allows you to start working earlier).

Holy hell everyone...
After 260 days on NOA1, we just got our NOA2 - Just in time for Christmas! <3 <3 <3 

I had my K1 embassy interview November 29th at the Stockholm embassy. The Interview was really quick and easy and we were approved. (they had received my medical in time and tolled me that they had all the documents that they needed) .I was told they would mail the passport within 10 days. (on VJ it looks like most people receive there passport withing 5-10 days from the Stockholm embassy)
It has now been 13 days 
The CEAC tracker has been updated several times since the interview, but still says it is "ready" for the interview. 
The phone tracking of my passport  through the embassy does not work. Both my passport number and UID get a "number not valid" response. 
I tried talking to a embassy representative on the phone, but they sounded like they had no information about the situation, and tolled me that the embassy was allowed 60 days to process my case.(sounded like a standard answer)
I have also e-mailed the embassy, they only tolled me that my passport is still being processed at the embassy(as of December 12) and ignored the rest of my questions.  
 
Has anyone else had a similar experience? 
Is there anything me or my fiance can do to make the process go faster at this point? 
 

Guys, VISA ON HANDS! Omg guys... this process.. my POE is TOMORROW 😱 So I almost didnt get it in time!
 
so excited

I have been a little hesitate to share updates about our process, as I feel bad that so many people are still waiting. But I hope my timeline will encourage those of you still waiting , particularly for the NVC to receive your case. As at least in our case this was when the process started moving faster. 

Our Visa was approved at the US embassy in Stockholm Wednesday November 29th.

I actually called the NVC November 16th at 11pm Norwegian time. They told me there was no update on when my case would be mailed, and that it still had not been processed. When I checked the CEAC online update at 8.05am Norwegian time November 17th I found that my case had been received at the US Embassy in Stockholm. I later received an e-mail update from the NVC that my application has been mailed from the NVC on Nov 16th. This mean that the NVC representative that I spoke to on the phone on the 16th either lied to me or did not have access to relevant information. Either way I would not put full trust in what NVC officers tell you. 
Consulate received: Nov 17th 
Packet 3: Nov 17th (at the Stockholm embassy this is send through e-mail) 
At the Stockholm embassy you must wait until you receive packet 3 to scheduled your interview. I first scheduled my interview for Dec 7th as this was the earliest appointment available. 4 days later I was able to get a interview appointment for November 29th, so I reschedule my appointment.
