The Interview...Russian Or English??

[groovlstk 0]

My original comment was mostly facetious, quite frankly it would be a nightmare to have a CO probe into the specifics of a relationship in order to determine whether or not to issue a visa. (I believe they DO practice this to a very limited extent, however.)

To play devil's advocate, upthread Turboguy complained that his ex-fiancee had the interview from h*ll at the Moscow embassy. TG, since that K1 didn't work out, do you not think the CO might have had more than an inkling that things would go belly up for you both very quickly?

To get back on topic... my wife was really nervous for her interview and initially asked that it be conducted in Russian. However, the CO who interviewed her spoke fairly lousy Russian so my wife switched to English (much to the CO's relief).

It is possible Groov. I think there was more than enough proof of a relationship but I think he could have picked up on some of the inner demons that Luda was wrestling with.

Two years later when my wife had her interview they were very nice and the interview was not too far from a nice chat.

My Alla was in the same boat. Done around 10.30.

I don't want to start a new topic. Let me just tell you what the situation is. My Masha needs to go back to Petersburg after visa interview so, if the appointment is at 8am, what is the longest the interview process may take? Thank you.

Natasha's appointment was also at 8, and she was done around 10:30. Just our experience, though!

I recall you posted your wife finished her interview at noon.

I said "wife" in error, I meant to say "fiancee" and I was referring to Kazan Tiger's post if anyone was confused.
