Hi Everyone,
My wife went to her interview at the Stockholm embassy today. All paperwork was in order and they were satified with all of the basic documentation.
After many questions they gave her a denial based on 221g.
On the sheet they wrote that she needed to submit police records from Netherlands and Denmark. Although we provided police reports for all the places she has lived based on the requirements given by the embassy, they still requested these additional Documents. We are assuming that this is due to her ds230 bio-data showing that she has lived and studied in the Netherlands 2 different times for almost a year each time. The Danish police records were likely requested because although she hasn’t really lived there for any extended period of time, it is where her mother lives and where she is staying now unitl this visa is hopefully approved. The CO said he wanted these as a matter of his own discretion. My wife has never done anything wrong and we have no problems with submitting this information.
The CO actually kept her passport stating that he needed it so if approved he could mail it back to her in Denmark if approved. I know our case is a bit unique considering the extensive amount of traveling we do and variousl places we have lived due to our status as Erasmus masters students. I called Danish police and she can pick up a certified police certificate at any police station. I know that Dutch police certificates can only be requested by the consulate in the Netherlands. I called them and actually spoke to the person that handles this. She said that she had the request on the computer in front of her from Stockholm for the certificates for my wife and had already put in the request to the Dutch authorities. She said this process takes no more than 2 weeks. I thought the speed was amazing considering that I spoke to her no more than 45 minuted after my wife left her interview.
Is this anything we should be worried about? Is the fact they kept her passport a good sign, possibly indicating they will provide a fast return after receiving the requested documentation? This is of course very stressful for both of us.
