My fiancee just had her interview in Kiev and was approved!!! I was a bit worried because she sent me an SMS at 9:40am and said she there was about 200+ people outside. Her appointment was at 9:30am. Searching through VJ, I found reports of others, and told her to try and go in or ask a guard for directions. Previously she had taken a train ride in from Eastern UA and gotten sick on the ride over, making it more of an ordeal. They only asked her one question: "What is the name and family name of your future husband?"

I'd like to thank everyone here, especially in this thread, it's been invaluable! Now I can sleep, or try to.

Applicants with appointments do not need to queue up, you simply go to the guard and they will have your name and then you are allowed to enter immediately.

HI everyone,

Just want to let everyone know that I had question about the validation police certificate in Ukraine I e-mailed them

here I'm pasting the answer from kiev embassy

"Dear Ms. XXXXXXX:

Thank you for contacting us via e-mail. In response to your letter of October 1, 2007 we would like to inform you of the following.

The police certificate is valid for 12 months since the date of its issuance. The translation of the document should bear the stamp or seal of the translation agency and additional notarization of the document is not required.

We hope this information will help you. If we can be of further assistance in this or any other matter, do not hesitate to contact us via e-mail.

Short version of my question; anyone a Russian or Ukrainian native that is interested in discussing my paying them to help teach me more Russian over the phone? I'm thinking 30 minutes once or twice a week, I'd call you so I would pay for the call, I'd be willing to pay maybe something like $25 a session (PayPal, etc.).

Just been thinking about it and thought I'd throw it out there for some feedback...

Tim,

You may be better served paying for your fiancee to learn English. She'll have to speak it here in the states, and it will be much more convenient for her to find someone to teach her over there rather than you trying to learn over a phone. If you want to learn Russian (where is she from in Ukraine?) check around where you live or find some self study materials. PM me for more information.

Thank you for your reply. She already speaks English at an intermediate level, she is taking an English class, and we talk every week for 30-45 minutes in English on the phone. I would like to learn more Russian, I have several books, the Oxford Russian course, and some online material. I'd really like to hear the language spoken by a native that can teach me more in a one on one environment.

My fiance received her visa from the courier yesterday. Her interview was on the 24th of September and the interviewing officer told her it would arrive in a week. It arrived exactly 1 week later. The embassy stated the visa was issued on the 26th and sent out. We thought it would have taken longer since she lives in Sevastopol which isnt exactly close to Kiev.

And what about the birth and marriage certificates. Is notarization of these documents required or not?
