So here's our next issue

my wife called our embassy and they scheduled an interview in just 5 days time. So next week she should travel to her embassy to have her interview.

However she hasn't yet sent in the D-156/k and D-230 etc. is this an issue? Is it alright to bring the documents to the interview with her? Please help us out here so we can reschedule if necessary.

Unless the Ukraine Embassy has different procedures, you are NOT supposed to submit those documents until the interview. In fact, if you read the DS-156K carefully, you will see at the bottom where it states not to even sign the form until in the presence of the consular officer.

I suggest asking these types of questions to your Embassy in the form of an email just to be sure. That way you will have their response in a printable form that you keep as evidence.

Good luck.

good point. I double checked with Iryna and I realized nothing needed sent in. just a little mix up on my part for being too rushed.

I didn't think our interview would be scheduled so quickly (after everything else takes so long)

and I'm used to calling Iryna my wife because we had a religious wedding in Ukraine, and went to get it done lawfully but some of my paperwork wasn't accepted.

I had to rush back to the U.S. though so instead of doing the K-3 we just applied for a K-1 and didn't mention a religious wedding to the USCIS, because I didn't have an opportunity to go back to Ukraine for a while.

no point in waiting too long eh?

thanks for the help guys

For Kyiv, all forms are submitted at time of interview....

YMMV
