Non-EU citizen, non-EU education, EU license

Hi Nils,
I've been reading many of your posts and am hoping to find some information since my case is somewhat particular.
I am a physician from South America (Venezuela), who after tumbling around in the world, decided to settle down in Sweden (I have a Swedish wife).
I don't have a specialty yet but I do have a USA certification (passed the USMLE Steps I and II) and have an EU medical lisence (from Spain). My swedish is currently in level B1 and I expect to clear level C2 in four to five months at most.
My questions are:
1. Do I apply to Socialstyrelsen as a EU-physician or as a non-EU physician?
If I have to apply as a non-EU:
1. Will my EU lisence be taken into consideration or will I still need to pass the TULE and/or complete AT?
2. Does the fact that I have competed the USMLEs help me waive the need to pass the TULE if needed?
Thank you very much for your help.
Alex
