Refile vs, Marraige and different route

And why is she nervous about this? Is there a single post on VJ in which someone was denied for "no reason" from the Ukraine Embassy?

I don't think her anxiety came from VJ at all. A girl friend who had some one prepare documents seems to be the culprit. The posts actually say that many embassies don't give reasons. It seems like it would be tough to make a decision about what to do next if there is no reason given at all.

You are oversimplefying and panicking. Large numbers of applicants are initially refused a visa. In the vast majority of those cases, submitting additional documents within a matter of days or weeks, reverses the initial denial. It is rare (percentage wise) for a legitimate relationship to be faced with the drastic remedies you suggest and even more rare than average through Ukraine.

If there's a blue slip, respond swiftly and accurately. If white, do what you have to do to keep the case under consideration at the Consulate until you prevail.

It's not as simple as a single yes or no unless it's a yes.

Ouch!! I was only relaying the concerns. Please read the earlier posts. My hand is steady - no panic here

You may object to the word "panic" and the concern may be coming from your fiancee but the information in my post is still important. You're asking about drastic remedies as if it were as simple as a single yes or no. It isn't, unless it's a simple yes. See bold above.

Just tell you future wifey to calm down, lol If you plan to attend the interview, it should really help in the case of denial. Many ppl reported dealing with denial on the spot and actually getting visa after harrasing embassy/contacting representatives/providing additional proof. If you have a bona find relationship, you two have nothing to worry about. I only read positive reports about Kiev embassy. I've been there several times myself (for J1 visas) and never had any problems. I know K1 is a different case, but I think if Vika will be honest and sure in her answers she will get a visa, no problem!

Kiev is a very reasonable Consulate... If you have your documents complete and organized and the evidence to support, you should expect absolutely no problems.

Thanks again all, from both of us! Vika heard the responses and says she feels better. If she is calm, so am I The good embassy reviews helped too.
