Hello all,
First time posting here. Me and my partner are currently in the process of applying for the sambo visa that would allow me to move to Sweden, work there, etc. Now, the first question I have is for the actual application. There is a section titled "Visit at Swedish Mission Abroad" and then says "I wish to visit the Swedish mission abroad in: ". The only options here are the embassies in the capital cities of different countries. The Swedish migration website states that you could select the consulate that is closest to you for your interview, but I only get the option to select the embassies. I live nowhere near Washington DC and this would make an unnecessary trip seeing as there is a Swedish consulate in my city. What do I do in this case? Anybody who has seen this and could provide some input, I'd really appreciate it.
Second question is more of a 'what do you think' type. Me and my partner have known each other for 3 years now. We met online and we have visited each other 2 times. I visited Sweden for the summer last year, and she came to visit me in the US for the summer this year. We can't really visit each other more because of work, but now we're ready to be together in one country, and we think me making the move would make more sense career wise. Based on these two visits and the time that we've known each other, what is the probability that our application would get accepted? We're not married yet, and we haven't technically lived together, only on vacation but we talk to each other every day and are truly serious.. Do you think we have a case to get the visa? Just asking because we don't want to put all our eggs in one basket per se and waste a lot of time waiting for something that won't be accepted. If the shot of getting this visa is low for us, then it might be best to get married first and then apply for Sweden visa or maybe even for a US visa. Any ideas?
Thanks, all
