Finally
Just as Red suggested, international travel always comes down to the wire. After a mere 29 minutes on hold, I was able to speak with someone at the Migration Board who, after hearing my pathetic case, sent an email to someone there asking for priority for my case. And, the best news of all, once a decision has been rendered, the Embassy here should be able to see the results on their computer (as opposed to waiting for something to be mailed, as I was previously told). She was very clear that this was no guarantee, because "there are hundreds and hundreds of applications still in front of you", but at least there is a glimmer of hope. I'll call back tomorrow to see if my application was reviewed. Hurrah!
Of course, this means that if the application is approved, I will be making a trip to the Swedish Embassy on Wednesday morning in order to catch my afternoon plane. Nothing like cutting it close, right?
