The time it takes to process a visa application various with each individual case. If the U.S. citizen petitioner has legally been residing in Sweden continuosly for the past six months prior to filing the petition, he/she may file the I-130 petition at the Embassy. If the immigrant visa is filed at the Embassy then the processing time is substantially shorter, 8 12 weeks. If the Immigrant Visa petition is filed with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) in the United States then the processing time is substantially longer. If the time factor is of importance, you should contact the USCIS office where you will file the petition to ascertain processing times before deciding on applying for a fianc(e) or immigrant visa.
