Today I got a slip in the mail to go pick up a registered letter. I figured it was just confirmation that the Swedish immigration authority had received the application for citizenship I sent them last week, so I didn’t get around to going down to the gas-station-slash-post-office until just before dinnertime. Imagine my surprise, then, when I opened the envelope and found instead a Bevis om Svenskt Medborgarskap<\/i> (Proof of Swedish Citizenship) for me and Lydia! I knew they had shortened the waiting time quite a lot, but considering the state of most things in Sweden during the summer months, I expected it to take a lot longer than eight days before we heard anything back. I guess we must have gotten our applications in just before everything grinds to a halt in July — it does feel a bit anti-climactic to have it all over and done with so soon after applying, but you won’t hear me complaining.
