Wait 10 days to scheule?? - Kiev Embassy

[Mary and Jeff 0]

My fiance has all her documents together and is ready to schedule an interview...

After finally getting through to the call center, they said that all the April interview dates are filled and try and call back in 10 days...

I thought they would schedule it for hten ext available time (perhaps in May sometime) is this normal? Should she perhaps call back in a couple days and see?

Also, I was wondering, I noticed there is an 800# for me to call on her behalf... could I possilbe schedule the interview for her (don't worry, I'll be sure to communicate with her to find out what days work)

Thanks!

Strange. I called this morning to schedule our son's K-2 and was told no interviews for May are being offered as April dates are still open and they haven't started to schedule for May yet. Two other VJ members looking for May interviews have been told the same this week. I am trying to schedule one for June.

Yes, you can schedule the interview by calling the 1-800 number but you still pay using the PIN code.

May 1-May 9 are Holidays in Ukraine and the consulate schedule can be all mixed up, but I was told it is because they have not yet "opened" May and June dates as April dates are still available.

Thanks for the info! I wanted to double-check to see if this was normal... I had a feeling of deja vu when I heard they told her that... it reminded me how they told me I would get my lost bags in Kiev in a day, then someone else said 3 days, then another said my bags would be sent to Austria... I am so thankful to Mary for letting me know how things work in Ukraine, otherwise I don't think I'd have my bags even now!

Thanks so much for your input Gary and Alla! Mary just called up again and got an interview day set in late April... now it seems we're excited yet scared at the same time with the interview so soon...

She will be fine... if you are organized and have all the required documents, the worst thing about the interview is getting in the door and finding where you need to go....

I will say "relax" but you won't listen.

Kiev is very straight forward, give all the documents they ask for and you are good to go. But I was worried also, so was Alla. It is natural. I feel a whole lot better this time with the K-2 interview coming up. After our interview, Alla's comment was "We worried for THIS????"

I hope you guys are all correct ... I'm calling tomorrow morning 5/17 (afternoon in Kiev) shooting for a May 5th day ... I'll keep you posted!

You are right... neither of us will be able to relax until after our approval

I guess I'd much rather spend the energy now worrying about it, planning for the worst, and being pleasantly surprised rather than doing the opposite...

I know Mary had a bad experience several years ago when trying to get a visitor visa to visit relatives in the U.S. Basically I reassured her that if anything bad happens we'll cross that bridge together if it comes up...
