Lina and I are excited for we are 8 days from the processing date for NOA2 and the NVC is stating it only takes 3 or 4 days for K-3 Visa to get their number and be sent to the Kiev Embassy. It is nice that they DHL these Documents to the respective Embassy. It is also nice that the Kiev Embassy in the Ukraine, according to VJ, is the quickest Embassy on Earth. Only 35 days to process a K-3 Visa.

We have our Packet 3 already (downloaded) and have produced all Documents so it will even speed things up more the moment the Embassy gets the Documents from the NVC. In Kiev you send in the KEV-1 Form stating that you have all Documents and are ready for Interview. Typically you get an Interview in 2 Weeks and the Visa 1-2 days after the Interview.

I hope to fly to Kiev on March 8th and then we will be together finally. We will fly Home together, no more separation.

Good Morning to All;

Well its been almost a year since Lina and I met and we are getting so excited and anxious for the NOA2 from Chicago for our K-3/K-4 Visas. It still is not clear to me after reading all the VJ Posts, and talking with Agents from the USCIS what the Process dates mean on the USCIS Website. Most of the Agents tell me this it the time that the are completing their review of your case and are ready to Approve. One Agent told me my Case could be within 30 days of this date.

If I understand the process correctly it takes about 30-40 days from NOA1 to NOA2, a week to get it to NVC, and 5 days for NVC to process a K-3. Then 2 days to get it to your respective Embassy for Fiancee'. So to clarify, does anyone have a good understanding of what the Processing Dates for K-3 Visas posted on the USCIS Website for Chicago mean? They are processing cases with a Receipt Date of January 10th right now. Are they sending these folks NOA2's or just starting the review?

Thanks for your input!
