I'm looking to get a tourist visa for my fiancee's mother and her friend. Can someone give me details about how long in advance of travel we should apply?

And maybe more generally a good resource for making it through this process smoothly?

You have nothing to do with anyone's tourist visa. Both people will apply on their own. Both will need to understand the strongest ties rule and comply. This is the most important aspect.

Everyone is considered an intending immigrant that holds any type of visa. This means they have to prove beyond a doubt they must return. Understanding this will make the process smoother. I am sure consideration will be given for the current situation in the country.

It's very quick. You go in to the interview and they tell you if you're approved or not on the spot. Interview dates are available for pretty much any day. If approved, it will take a couple of days for them to put the visa in the passport and then maybe a couple more days to deliver to your city if you're not picking up in Kiev (not more than a week or so).

They will want to get the visa before booking their air line tickets.
