You need to wait for NVC to make the appointment with the Kyve Embassy.

You might want to take the time and go to the embassy's website and read the sections concerning K1 visas, it is informative and accurate. It also answers most general questions. Your answer is in bold in item 2, under Fiancée Visas

http://ukraine.usembassy.gov/fiancee-step2.html

It takes approximately two to four weeks for the actual approved petition and its supporting documentation to reach the Consular Section in Kyiv. We can only start processing your case (that is, notify the applicant to schedule a visa appointment), once we receive the actual approved petition. Be assured that once we have received your approved petition, we will contact your fiancé (e) regarding preparations for the formal visa interview.

http://ukraine.usembassy.gov/fiancee-step3.html

When your fiancée has collected all the required documents specified in the Instructions, he or she should contact the Call Center or registeronline and schedule an appointment for the formal visa interview following the Instructions For K Visa applicants. The completed and signed form KEV-1 from the Information packet should be presented at the interview certifying that all required documents have been obtained.

Fiancée Visas:

1. The Consular Section receives the hard copy of the approved petition from the National Visa Center (NVC).

2. The Consular Section sends an invitation letter. Please do not schedule your appointment until you receive this letter.

3. The applicant schedules the formal visa interview and registers for passport delivery either online at http://http://www.ustraveldocs.com/ua, or by contacting the Call Center at 044-383-80-66 (if calling from Ukraine), or (703)988-71-07 (if calling from the U.S.).

4. If the applicant fails to show up for the originally scheduled visa interview he/she can reschedule either online at http://http://www.ustraveldocs.com/ua, or by contacting the Call Center at 044-383-80-66 (if calling from Ukraine), or (703)988-71-07 (if calling from the U.S.).

Once you have your KEV number from NVC, you can call the Embassy and schedule, or she can do it. The Embassy won't schedule you until they have your file in their system, and that can take awhile. Bear in mind that she will need time to get her medical exam, pick up the results, and get all the documents on the checklist the Embassy sends her.

You can find the checklist on the Embassy website, and I think it is in Ukrainian too. I sent Vika a link, and maybe a PDF WAY in advance of the interview date so she could get translations done too, if I remember correctly (although she didn't need any).

Here is a link to the instructions Checklist KEV-1 Instructions

Here is the link to the KEV-1 Checklist KEV-1 Checklist

Here is the link to the embassy visa forms page for Ukraine Kiev Embassy Forms

Note that there are documents listed that need time to get, like a police certificate. Your fee receipt should have exactly the same name that is on the travel passport - so check carefully.

See also that the forms say several times not to pay the fee at the bank. We did pay at the bank - so perhaps a member with a more recent experience could address this.

Vika says there was a cashier in the clinic when she did this. Any one with recent experience had to pay for the medical elsewhere? Our information is dated (four years old).

Yes there are 2 addresses:

1) Bank where you pay the fee (Hrivna's only), I don't have the address on me though.

2) Where you go to do the medical exam, this is the Oil Refinery clinic that everyone posts. They do not accept payment at the clinic.
