Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)	Any American/Danish couples out there???	QUOTE (missmissy @ May 1 2009, 07:59 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hej! We are getting ready for our interview in Copenhagen this summer and I am looking for any information and embassy experiences that you may have. Please share!! Hi missmissy Its a little late that I see your topic, but anyways. My experience is not so good from the very beginning. But I guess we have been very unlucky. It goes smoother for most people. You may ask me any question anytime. If you look at my timeline you can see that I am very far into the process. Rigtig meget held og lykke til jer.

Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)	Scandinavians	I am from Denmark and have lived in USA 4 1/2 year. In the beginning I missed all the food you are talking about but eventually I have found it all in a store called World Market. I live in California. They have alot of swedish food, candy and other things which I compare alot to what I am use to eat in Denmark. I really hope you are able to find that store. :-) Best luck from Anette	Mr and Mrs Bird	Female	Denmark	2011-06-20 17:43:00
Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)	Scandinavians	Howdy. Eipa ole huvittanut pariin vuoteen updateta mitaan taalla; ensinnakaan ei ollut mitaan updatea (alla lyhyesti), ja lisaksi useampi kuin yksi "vakiojasen" "lainasi" avatariani (pluraalissa) taalla joten totta kai piti poistaa kuvani jotta avatarvarkaat olisivat tyytyvaisia. No, se on historiaa, mutta eikohan nykyinen ole hieman hankalampi pohlia. Paivityksia lyhyimmillan... USCIS hotline siis antoi puutaheinaa ohjeiksi 07 vuoden alussa. USC puolisko joutui silloin muuttamaan takaisin jenkkilaan tyon takia, joten paperit peliin ja odottamaan. Muutama kuukausihan siina piti menna, mutta EKA minkaansortin update (ja niitahan kyseltiin, congress edustajien ja lakimiesten kanssa) tuli niinkin pian kuin "jo" kesalla 2009. Ei mennyt kuin vahan yli pari vuotta... koo kolme paketti tuli sitten elokuussa viime vuonna, ja haastatettelu oli lokakuun lopussa. Koska aikanaan tuli mentya naimisiin Hesassa, tama tarkoitti kaytannossa minulla sita etta jouduin Suomeen laakarintarkastusta ja viisumia varten = 2 1/2 viikkoa Suomessa sen takia jumissa kun kotiinhan ei-Schengen-alueen-Eurooppaan ja takaisin toisinhan minulle ei ollut asiaa ilman passia. Eli viimeinkin sitten marraskuun lopusta 09 taalla, just ja just alle 1000 paivan rajaa k3 paperien lahettamisesta. (Suomessa asuin siis viimeksi joskus kun vuodet alkoivat 1:lla, ja naimisissakin on tahan mennessa oltu jo yli 4 vuotta). Mitas muille? Taalla on nakojaan muutama uusikin... hey y'all, sorry for the update in the language above but it's justified in this case. By the way, for all of you folks wanting to learn e.g. Swedish, Finnish or another language (about 40 listed in total), FSI has released their language courses for free personal use in http://fsi-language-...rg/Content.php. Yep, those are the ones the US government typically uses for training their own staff Hey I am Danish. And I don't understand your language Anette	Mr and Mrs Bird	Female	Denmark	2010-05-12 15:24:00

It is a big blur so far! I have a short question, Are in the process of applying a K-1 visa, we sent the first package which got received and now we are in the looong waiting. I am travelling to see my fiancée on Friday and I am getting a bit nervous about getting through customs on my tourist visa. Have any one of you had any problems? Or did everything went smoothly? I head stories where ppl are denied to enter?! hi and welcome to the journey. I did the same thing to visit my fiance and 3. time the didn't allow me to enter. When I told them that I should visit my fiance they didn't believe that I would travel back again , but thought I would stay. My bad was that I brought a few things like photoalbums and pictures in frames. Plus I had recently quit my apartment and moved to my parents in order to save up money before I should move to my fiance. We had just started our paperwork for a K1 visa, but I didn't bring them. They banned me for 1 year or untill I had my fiance visa approved. Bring your K1 visa application so that they can see that you are started. Don't bring anything in your suitcase that can let them feel that you will stay. Very good luck to you and hopefully everything will go smoothly.

Also the medicals must be there too, since i have none of it and the affidavit, all originals and notarized. Well, it means a new divorce certificate, translate it and notarized it and of course my personbevis... again! just this time i have to ask someone because I am leaving after tomorrow and since i am not Swedish, have no relative, nobody in this country, hence... i have to ask my ex for it... Have to go through medicals... again, affidavit... again! All that seems so illogical, really so ilogical, JAG FATTAR INTE!!!!!!!! Anette, thank you for the information. You are so welcome.

I hope you will let me join the circle on his behalf. I have enjoyed reading all of your insight, thoughts, and other experiences. I just started on this journey and am a little nervous. I hope our time line shows up. (if not, i will try and repost it) Anyways, I have a few questions about this whole thing. We are wanting to get married in March- March 22nd to be exact. I have spent some time today going over the time lines and experiences of others. It is making me a bit nervous that planning a wedding for this date in March might be a little premature. He is going back to Norway on 12/06 to await the NOA2 and then the other stuff that comes after it. But of course relatives from Norway and my other out of town guest will need to book tickets and such in the next month or so probably or would like too. Also, I have already done some planning and booking for that date. So, I guess what I am looking for is some reassurance, advice, or any experience with the Oslo, American embassy and the processing times. Thanks, Cora Hi Cora Ofcause you are welcome here. Your fiance is living close to my homecountry Denmark I can see your timeline and I think your case will be done by March if everything is going after the book so to say. But I am always very concerned when people are telling about plans before they have their visa in hand. I can tell you my situation: We submitted our I-129F back in June 2005. We where approved March 2006. This long waitingtime was because we needed to obtain other papers that I had a hard time to get. Afterwards I had my K-1 Interview in June 2006 in Copenhagen. My Interview was not approved because of a conviction I had back in 1994. Then I needed to submit another form to London to get my stupid conviction approved. I recieved my K-1 visa January 17 2007. We planned our wedding 4 times during all this, but had to cancel all 4. And we where not prepared for all this when we started. Please be free to ask if you have any concerns.

It is the first time i am posting here, so i wonder how it will come out. I have a concern, indeed, my case is kind of complicated and i am getting confused. Point is, I was born in Mexico and lived there for many years, I am Swiss citizen due my father, but I live in Sweden. Applied for the K1 as Swiss. It is regarding the police document that may be asked. Since I have been living in Mexico much after I was 16 years old and couple of years here in Sweden, it means they will require one from the Swedish and another from Mexican police? Yes Then, I live in Malmö, will I be asked to go to Stockholm for the interview? I mean Copenhagen is just across the Öresund! I am not sure if it's Stockholm or Copenhagen How is it about the medical tests that may be required, does any one knows? Here in Sweden we have all medical records in the clinic where we live. Or are we send to a specific doctor? The test needs to be taken at some of their doctors. But you will with your package from the embassy recieve papers about this. Please if someone could help me with some of information, I am quite confused and it is already about 120 days since we got the NOA 1, so, soon the rest will come and i feel kind of lost with all that.

Don't understand your language. I am from Denmark Hej och trevligt att träffas! Som jag redan sa, så är jag en finlandssvensk så jag kan förmodligen skriva åt dej på svenska och få ett svar tillbaka på danska så att vi båda kan förstå varandra på våra modersmål . Dock är det självklart alltid lite svårt att läsa "utländska" . Jag studerade faktiskt lite danska två år sedan inom universitetet men mina studier satsade på att förstå talad danska, fastän jag också hamnade läsa en hel del. Det är ganska märkligt hur enkelt det är att förstå skrivet danska men ändå väldigt svårt att fatta talad danska för oss svenskspråkiga. Ni danskar har antagligen ett likadant problem ? I alla fall, det är trevligt att det finns också andra aktiva skandinaver än finländare här i vårt lilla nordiska lag . I used to live in Sweden. I read Danish much better than speaking it. So I totally understand what you mean by that. I would get amazed hearing it. There seems to be no enunciation at all. Everything runs together. Men jag har inte en svenska skrivbord eller menar jag datorbord?? Jag glom det... men i alla fall, det ar skitbra att talar svenska till nagon. Ok how much of that is wrong? Because my grammar always sucked. lol Ok I am danish and would love to let you know how it sounds. It dosn't sounds like swedish at all. But it is mostly because of the different accent. I can read swedish since there are many similar words to danish. But I am defenatly not good to understand when swedish people are talking. hahaha Nice to see you all here	Mr and Mrs Bird	Female	Denmark	2007-09-18 15:26:00
Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)	Scandinavians	here i come happy as a camper to say hello to my fellow scandinavians...and then now they started to talk in finish...i dont understand finish Hah, en skandinavisk thread använder skandinaviska språk och finskan är ju en av dem. Detta hindrar (självklart) dej inte att skriva på svenska, norska, danska eller isländska på threaden, men det är inte säkert hur väl andra kommer att förstå dej. Tyskar skriver på tyska på de tyska threaden och belgier använder holländska, därför tycker jag att vi finnar kan använda finska här om vi så vill. Det finns få av oss här, men vi tar den risken att andra inte förstår vad vi säger . Lycka till med ditt visum och kom ihåg att addera din timeline ! If there were any other Norwegians on this forum, I would definitely try to strike up a conversation in Norwegian with them, although Swedish/Danish work for me as well. Enjoy the treat of getting to "talk" to someone in your native language! LOL I do think, however, that miamoa2002 was only joking. (Although you never know with a Swede, of course. They have, after all, colonized both Finland and Norway in the past!) ........ just kidding, of course	Mr and Mrs Bird	Female	Denmark	2007-07-31 11:42:00

Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)	Scandinavians	Sorry Mr and Mrs Bird.. was just a quick to the previous poster. You must be quite excited to be getting soon all the papers to be finally together.. any news since the earlier post on the page? I can't even imagine how long mine will take... probably until next year, or even more likely to just get a job transfer. Oh boy. And hi - I think I've been away for a while, probably forgot to just pop in and say hi. So a big hi to you and your Dane - or would that be hej in Danish? I am the danish person and Hej is correct LOL	Mr and Mrs Bird	Female	Denmark	2007-07-26 16:14:00
