FYI, for anyone who must go the Ukraine Embassy. I have read on this site for 10 months how easy the Medical and Embassy Interview is in the Ukraine. We passed the Interview, but my Elena was a wreck after leaving. She was interviewed for 1 1/2 hour. Asked 10 questions, answered all correct....when most are asked 3. They read many letters we exchanged, read many pages of Skype, read many pages of Face Book. Looked at every picture she took with her. The lady interviewing her even left the room twice. Yes, we passed, but this was no cake walk....Be prepared for anything.

The same can be true in Moscow, my lady was interviewed by two men who asked many questions and read through all our correspondence, etc. It all worked out fine in the end but it was not a cakewalk either.

It does seem unusual she had such an interview but I suppose the good news here is that you passed so congratulations! As you said be prepared for anything.

Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

Thanks for the info Nate! My fiancée has an interview scheduled for a couple of weeks from now. You are right, to read the reviews of the embassy you would believe the interview is a cakewalk. We will prepare for a stressful and difficult interview and hope for an easy one :)

06/21/2013 - petition transferred from VSC to TSC

07/25/2013 - received email that approval notice has been mailed

07/26/2013 - received email that USCIS shipped case to NVC
07/29/2013 - received hard copy of NOA2 - notice date is 7/25, though the document says it is valid from 7/06 to 11/05

I think if you read the reviews you will see that your experience is unusual...our interview was no questions asked and lasted less than a minute.

Most are something in between.

I was prepared for anything...it is good advice. Congratulations.

VERMONT! I Reject Your Reality...and Substitute My Own!

Haha... nah I don't think so as I don't think that comment was posted by an American. We wouldn't really care about things like that. Just chalk it up to cultural differences, I guess.

I did laugh out loud when I read that message, though... wow
