Has anyone experienced something similar at the Moscow Embassy?

My fiancée had her interview today but we didn’t have any luck. She didn’t get approved or disapproved. She was asked only a couple of questions, how we met, when we met, etc. Both of us have been married before and she was asked if my ex-wife was US citizen and if she got her green card through me, which she did. My fiancée was completely honest and she told them the truth. These were all the questions she was asked. Then the interviewer told my fiancée that she forgot a form, I think it was the DS-156 form, which she was told earlier by their help line that she didn’t need it. They told her that she needed to send this form by mail and then she was going to be notified of a decision. They kept her passport and some other documentation. Now we are terrified that she will not get approved due to my previous marriage and that my ex-wife got her green card through me. I just would like to know if there is someone who has gone through the same situation and what the outcome was. Also, can they deny her visa based on my previous marriage and that my ex-wife got her green card through me? Please advise. We are really terrified that they wouldn’t approve her visa only because of my past marriage. Just in case someone is wondering, There was no fraud whatsoever in my past marriage, this is life and it just didn’t work out as many others.

Thank you all for your input.

Yes I know this, I am just trying to see if fellow Russians in specific have had the same situation with the impolite/not friendly interviewers. It's just to rate their customer service and evaluate the consulate in Moscow in general. Thank you!

it's probably just the missing form. Although I understand why you're nervous. My ex-husband got a gree card through me also (real love, real life - as you know it happens!)

As long as you provided all the information about your ex-wife was in the paperwork you probably don't have to worry. USCIS had that information available to them when they approved the petition.

When I had issues with the Moscow embassy I researched obsessively every case I could find in which the visa was not approved right away. 90% of cases I found had everything resolved within 3 months (often much less) after sending in any missing documentation. Just send in the form asap and don't worry.

I wouldn't obsess over the interviewer being rude. It's Russia after all. For all we know she/he just got stuck in an unusually bad traffic jam on the way in to work and was in a bad mood.

So, I guess, your fiancee received a yellow slip which says that DS-156 is missing? Don't worry about that, lots of people have some papers missing and usually they are approved shortly after sending the papers to the embassy.

There have been some comments by others that the interviewers were rude or harsh. I think that each situation is different and that they were just doing their job. You shouldn't worry. Just get the missing document in. :thumbs:
