Husband arrived to embassy at 8:20 am for his 9:00 appointment. Once inside he went to the “infamous” Window G. He got quite a scare from them when they asked for my 2011 tax return (he took a binder with copies of everything we sent during the process: I-130, AOS package and IV package) and medical exam (he had copies of the vaccination record from doctor). He was told to have a seat and wait. So he sat there going over in his mind how much longer he’d have to wait in Denmark until copies of the medical were re-sent and processed in Stockholm .
He was called up for the interview. Fortunately, by interview time they had found the medical exam file and said they didn't need the tax returns. But he offered the copies he had anyways.
The woman at the window started with what seem like odd questions: What's something your wife would like to change about herself? If I asked her what would she say? How do you share your domestic responsibilities with your... read complete review

If memory serves me right, the embassy website says they open at 8: AM. My appointment was at 9:00 AM. I got off the bus at maybe 8:30. The bus stop was right across the street from the US embassy, so that was very convenient. There was a security checkpoint and I was asked to wait outside (it was raining, of course) and stand in line. There were two lines and I obviously went to stand in the wrong one.On the plus side, next to me was an older couple, turned out they were from El Salvador and had lived in Sweden for 25ish years. They were very chatty, so that was nice. Behind me there was a whole bunch of middle aged guys, the members of an orchestra as it turned out.
After a while I noticed I was in the wrong line, though, so I went over to the correct line. There was one person ahead of me in the much shorter immigrant visa applicants line. When it was my turn, a security guard took my passport, ask me to wait behind the line right outside the entrance and show him the... read complete review

I cannot give the Stockholm embassy has high of marks as everyone else. There is a big age difference between my fiancée and me, and since our relationship does not fit into the American norm, my fiancée was treated differently. First, even though she arrived early, her wait was well over an hour. Second, she was asked a lot of questions about our relationship, most of which were based on provincial American morals. The interviewer’s commentary on our relationship was also inappropriate. Last, even though we had copies of the divorce settlement from my previous marriage, the embassy demanded certified (true) copies from the court.
The good news is that the embassy said that the visa would be issued within two weeks of them receiving the paperwork, which we did, so the delay was about one week.
My advice, if your relationship is even slightly outside of the American norm, have originals of all your paperwork and expect a lot of personal (inappropri... read complete review

My interview was scheduled for 8.30am. I showed up before 8 and there was a line outside already. Around 8.20 one of the security guards asked if there was anyone there who was applying for an immigrant visa, and I was the only one apparently. (By that time the line had gotten waaay longer behind me..)
Anyways, he took me straight to the front and another security guard asked to see my passport and wanted to see the bottom part of my shoes. In the gate they looked thru my bag but only kept my phone. He told me to go to Window G inside the building.
When I got inside the place was full of young swedes.. But window G was empty so I walked up there. It took a while before a Swedish lady came and talked to me. She took my passport and asked me to make some small changes in one form, and asked for stamps. But I didn't bring any since I never got info about that. She didn't say anymore about it and asked me to write my name on a big brown envelope. After that she said I could... read complete review

The whole process was VERY smooth and simple. In total I didn't spend more than 45 minutes inside the embassy. I was prepared for an interrogation-like, sit-down interview but I was only asked a few questions about how we met and how we've been keeping in contact since. The questions were asked quite informally through the window, so i didn't even realize that it was the actual interview. I though she was just making conversation.  Also they didn't even need to see the proof of relationship i had assembled.
After the visit to the embassy i celebrated with a nice cup of coffee in Kungsträdgården and then, only 2 days later the my passport and visa package showed up in the mail.
