I assume each consulate might be slightly different.

In package4, the consulate will give you a list of things they wish you to bring on the interview.

As for K1, the most import thing tho, is to make sure you have enough finical evidences and relationship approval.

When I contacted the Embassy in moscow asking if they had received our case, they sent me an email stating they had and aslo wrote this... "An information packet was sent to Ms. Nina on October 19 however, you can find the list of all the required documents on our website at www.usembassy.ru." So I am guessing the info on the site is updated and accurate. Hope this helps.

Ok, thanks everybody. My fiance's interview will be in Moscow also. Mark, when they sent her the package did that include the interview date or did she have to return a form before they would schedule it?

We got the interview date via email. So they scheduled it prior to sending the packet. They told us they sent the packet out on the 19th of October, Nina got it today, (13 Nov), and it was post-marked 31 October.
