My visa was rejected!!!Wed Aug 08, 2007 04:26 PM It's so stressful, I've been dealing with that for the last 2 weeks...I have to leave Washington on Saturday and I still don't have a visa...The Swedish Immigration Board changed the rules about sponsors after I had applied and they rejected my application. They asked me to have my mom transfer all that $ into my account in such a short period of time, which I did, and I still have no response on the appeal...I am so disappointed and stressed...i really don't know what's gonna happen or if i will be able to go to Lund anymore [Edited by Armando on 08 Aug 2007] |

Armando, it's horrible!! I can't understand this! If you're admitted to the Uni, what's the problem? I'm lucky, because I'm EU citizen and I don't need a visa, but after three month I will have to prove that I have enough money or a job to be able finance my stay in Sweden. I've no job here in Hungary, I've hired my flat, and maybe I won't be able to stay there either, because getting a job or a scholarship seems to me very difficult. Thu Aug 09, 2007 10:03 AM I cross my fingers for you Armando, and hope we meet in Lund. Don't give up!! |

No worries Armando!! Some of my friends application (for other countries like UK or us) was also rejected in the past. It just shows that there is a document or something missing. That's all. Don't panic, I'm sure that we'll see u in Lund!

Armando, what kind of room will you get? Is it a corridor room in a campus, or a privat accommodation? Mon Aug 13, 2007 02:09 PM Would you seek a job, or now you have your financial background? My first "project" in Lund is to find out wether I can apply for a scholarship for the next spring semester or not. I have bought 2 books for the first course, they are very heavy, so my luggage will be heavy too :)) |

Hiii!!Tue Aug 14, 2007 04:30 PM Armando I got ur number, thanks a lot!! I will arrive next monday (arrival day). I didn't register for the introductory program because I didn't want to pay for it. But I really want to participate to free swedish courses, so I'll try to get some information about it. I guess I will get the room on my arrival day, a room from IHO. They are quite expensive but this is the best for the beginning I think. See you soon guys!! |

Hey cigdem!Tue Aug 14, 2007 05:30 PM I talked to Hanna today and she told me about the free Swedish classes. They r for immigrants but we can take them as well. We just need to get a personal identification Swedish number and then with that we can go to the place where they teach Swedish to Immigrants. I have the info if you need it. I will also be able to tell where to go to get ur number because I am going tomorrow during the day. I can't wait for arrival day, I heard there is a party and lots of activities. Since I didn't register for the introductory activities either, i wonder if ew can still attend some of their events! Oh well, we'll have to ask when we go get our keys I guess! |

Hello everybody,Tue Aug 14, 2007 07:13 PM I am more and more excited.... Armando, I'm very interested in the free svedish class either. I heard that we can take 2 free courses at the Folksuniversitat (typical school in Scandinavian, with different courses) with our letter of acceptance. But I think it is a different opportunity. I will go to the tax office on my first day to have the personal number too, but I would be very happy if you informed me about the procedure Armando! |

I went to apply for my swedish identification number...it takes about 2 minutes to do it...I got lost before getting there because the map I had wasn't that good. I walked by the office at the beginning and then I went and made a big turn around the block. Anyway, I will show u guys where it is when u get here :) they say it takes 10 days to get the number in the mail
