I have checked on multiple forums and most people say that it takes an year. Some got it in 8 months some are still waiting after 14 months. Tbh it depends on luck and what processing office your application goes too & how long the queue is. Due to Covid things have been slow

My first feeling, when I came out from Arlanda was the calm, I was amazed by how calm the entire country was, society, traffic everything.

Sometime later when I was at Arlanda to pick up one of my friends and when he came out he started to breath in a funny way like he was high on something and said (in a different language) something like "air man air this is the best air" he kept praising the air of Scandinavia during all his stay with us (this guy had been to many countries before).

So now you know the place is blessed with good air and calm atmosphere and the same time punished with long cold dark winters. Cheers!
