Dear Ladies and their Best Halves,

I would be deeply grateful if you share your precious experience of assembling the documents for the Ukrainian embassy after you received NOA2.

I will also appreciate if you could give me more information for the questions listed below.

Will the date of the interview be scheduled by the embassy? Or will i have the chance to choose the date myself?

Does it take much time to obtain the police record?

What about the medical exam in Kiev, are any questions about the operations asked? Can any type of operation can be an obstacle in K1 visa obtaining?

Should i bring the resigned and newly dated Intents to marry?

Should i bring the original of NOA 2 to the embassy or the copy will be just enough?

Thanks a lot in advance for your kind help.

Dear Ladies and their Best Halves,

I would be deeply grateful if you share your precious experience of assembling the documents for the Ukrainian embassy after you received NOA2.

I will also appreciate if you could give me more information for the questions listed below.

1. Will the date of the interview be scheduled by the embassy? Or will i have the chance to choose the date myself?

2. Does it take much time to obtain the police record?

3. What about the medical exam in Kiev, are any questions about the operations asked? Can any type of operation can be an obstacle in K1 visa obtaining?

4. Should i bring the resigned and newly dated Intents to marry?

5. Should i bring the original of NOA 2 to the embassy or the copy will be just enough?

Thanks a lot in advance for your kind help.

1. The interview is scheduled by you but you do not get to choose "any" date. They will tell you what is available.

2. Typically three weeks to get the police record. A bribe can speed it up. It is valid for one year from issuance. Get it now.

3. No, They are looking for transmittable diseases. Drug use. They do not care about previous surgeries

4. Yes. You probably won't need it. But it is free and easy, so why not?

5. Copy. Keep the original in a safe place. You will need it over and over during the process. A copy is always sufficient for any future purpose. Make many copies and put the original in a safe place where you will not lose it or forget where it is.

When you get to the interview, you go to a window similar to a bank window with a little slot to pass things through as they ask for them. Assembling everything into a huge binder only assures you have to fumble to take it apart as they as for things. For ALL interviews in the process, I put the needed documents into a 13 pocket accordian type folder, loosely. Label the pockets with what is in them. When they ask for "previous divorce certificates" just whip the copies right out of the files and hand them under the slot. No muss, no fuss. Anyone can do it. Do not hand over anything they do not ask for. Have it ALL there and give them what they ask for. Take home what they do no task for. Now is NOT the time to try to save trees by reducing copies. The trees are gonna have a bad day because you want your visa.

After they collect documents (this is NOT the interview) you will sit in a waiting room and watch propoganda videos of the USA which will make you wonder why YOU are not always on perpetual vacation and after the due waiting time be called to the interview window which is usually fairly painless in Kiev.

Congratulations and good luck.

Only feels natural, if not I think the Rubforum would have imploded.

and since I wish to stay somewhat on topic, best of luck TatieM!
