Paul, can you fiancee get everything done ahead of time?

Ukraine and Slovakia are neighbors (i know that doesn't matter though just saying) and we can get medical done anytime... and get an interview appointment within 2 weeks after the case reaches our embassy.

Plus they don't send any packets or anything i will just take all the forms they are requesting to the interview.

Is that what you meant by Ukraine consulate is a fast one? Just wondering

Yup we plan to have everything ready so that the week the case is in the system it might be possible to schedule the interview within 2 weeks or even a couple days later. In Ukraine some beneficiaries have been offered a chance to interview 3 days later (few are ever ready or it creates a scheduling conflict for them). I told my fiance to be ready that the interview could go down the same week that she calls. so she'll be ready to move quickly on it. She's prepared to go any time and any date. The only thing I had to investigate was the medical but they are very flexible with that too and sometimes even take walk ins at the required clinic. As long as we have everything prepared document wise, it is possible she could have visa in hand 4-5 weeks after NOA2. And if we really got lucky could be a mere 3-4 weeks...But first just have to get this NOA2 out of the way. I am getting concerned though because I really didn't want to be getting so close to July...guaranteed to slow down the NVC stage if it hits there too far into August...Just wish they'd approve us already...183 days! this is crazy.

Medical could be done earlier. But I'm not sure how the Criminal Record works in Russia. My fiance had to get another police certificate because it was only valid for 3 months...and then things slowed down to this horrible level. There was a time that we expected to interview late July or the worst early August...now we're hoping for a miracle just to interview in August..NOA2 still feels so close yet so far out of reach..

Thanks guys! I sure hope it is something simple. I don't want to have to wait for something in the mail from Ireland. (last time even express took a week or so) I just wish they told you what they need in the e-mail. I would at least feel comforted if I could start working on it... I am a doer. Ok we got an RFE, lets fix it... move on. GRRRRR. Snail mail. GRRRR.

You don't suppose they saw my text from yesterday to Ray calling them bad things? LOL Big brother always watching?
