For an IV she will be admitted at 8:30 into the consulate and will probably be out of there before noon. They have a nice room to wait in

Thank you for a fast response!

But what I meant is how long does it usually take to wait for the interview after case is completed in NVC?

Sorry, for confusion.

When the case is finished at NVC it will take (usually) 2-3 weeks for it to be entered into Kiev's system. At that point you call the call center and make an appointment. The lead times for appoitnments vary. When we went it was 2 months, when our son went it was 3 days, recent people interviewing are reporting that they get an interview in 3 weeks to 1 month. The consulate website has a schedule showing current lead times.

I think NVC will schedule an interview for my Mother, since it is an immigrant visa.

Back in 2007, when I was scheduling my interview for K1 visa, I had to wait almost 2 months for my interview. I thought things might change since.

I was on Kiev Embassy web site, but I didn't see any info about schedule current lead times. If you know where it is, could you, please, send me a link? Any help would be appreciated!!!!

This is the best that I could find regarding scheduling. http://ukraine.usembassy.gov/scheduling.html

On that link there is a place for case status (on left) that you can input the information about the case that could help. I couldn't find the listing Gary talked about for scheduling of types of visas.

Good Luck!
