This is what I have understood. If you have been to Sweden as tourist, it would be faster like 3 to 4 months. But if you have not been to Sweden, like me, it was one year of waiting. They say now it can take up to 18 months. Its a long wait.

Hi Sekhon! It is written at migrationsverket homepage that it could take a maximum of 18 months before you receive a decision. But still, it varies. With my application before (that was in 2011), i got the desicion after 4 weeks even if I haven't been to Sweden at all. Good luck! I hope it would be faster for you too.

Most of the questions would be about your relationship with the person in Sweden, i.e., your husband/common-law partner. Questions are basic and could be: how long have you known him, when was he born, what are your plans when you are reunited with him in Sweden, etc. The questions are mostly to establish how well you know your partner and if your relationship is genuine. It would just be like a conversation rather than an inquisition, so relax 😉

Good luck!

It could be that the Swedish immigration officers are dealing with a large volume of applications, thus the long wait. I've read that the waiting time is now up to 18 months.
