Consulate Review: Sweden Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : July 22, 2012 Embassy 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 sit down and wait til they called my name again. About 25 minutes later I was called to Window E. There an American lady did the "interview". I had to swear everything I said was true and give my fingerprints. She asked a bunch of questions while she looked thru all the papers from my application. She had me sign the second part of a form and told me that I was approved, and that my passport would be sent to me in about 10 days! At 9.05 I was out of the embassy I got my passport in the mail 3 days later Rating : Very Good

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
