Hello guys!

We just recently had our I-129F approved. According to NVC, our case was sent to Kyiv Embassy. Could you please help me finding the Embassy's e-mail address so I can contact them to find out if the case was received. I tried to search the thread, but did not find anything.

Go to the embassy website for US embassy in Kiev and find the email for it then write them, they will answer you rather quickly, more so than trying to call them on phone. :thumbs:

Sorry to hear all that, Delta like all other airlines now, is the pits! It is a industry wide thing now, delays and always because of weather. Luggage lost or delayed or damaged or destroyed in transit or what happens to you, and then they want to surcharge you for it all! How much worse can it all get! :wacko:

Delta did not upgrade me though I asked - they just apologized for the inconvenieces and said they will pay me $ 125 expense reimbursement when I mail them my receipts. 1f6a7616548d703a2627c0a688310e84.gif

My bags were travelling all around Eurpe for 12 days. I saw Milano airport, Budapest airport labels...ad298d47070915aef56707c83801c22a.gif

Tough my itinerary was:

Nashville-JFK-Kiev

No problem, just remember there is a 8-10 hour time difference depending on where you live in USA so plan on getting email replied to during their hours of like 9am to 3 pm sometimes someone there will email hour or two before or after those times, but not often. :thumbs:

NYC Tiger, If you write to the embassy make sure you include your fiancee's name and the case number from NVC in your email. They prefer to answer to specific cases. It can take as long as a week for them to respond so don't be too concerned if it takes a couple of days. Also, keep in mind the embassy closes for normal business on both American and Ukrainian holidays.

Best of luck with your remaining tasks until she arrives. We just finished getting my wife's permanent green card (the 10 year one). It was approved yesterday, September 16th.

Thank you 1HappyGuy! :star: Firs of all congratulations on getting your wife's green card! One more step for you - citizenship. :thumbs::star:

I sent e-mail to the embassy a couple of days ago, just like you say - with case number and my fiance's (my fiance is HE, not SHE :D ) name included. Still waiting for them to respond. I am still being patient. OK, not very patient. :bonk:

I wonder: between American and Ukrainian holidays - what's left? :lol:

Thanks again and best wishes to you and your wife! :star: And maybe I will ask you a few more questions down the road. OK? :blush:

Hi All! I have a question! My husband has his CR1 interview on Oct, 29. We are trying to hunt for a ticket for him now. It is our intention that he gets on a plane as soon as he gets his visa. Every day is counted. So at your experience how long (statistically speaking ) it takes to get passport with visa after interview? What postal service they are using to send it? Will they provide tracking number , so we can track the package?

7+/- days seems normal... a day quicker if delivery is in Kiev. I keep hearing FedX but I do not know for sure.

Thanks for answers! This is what I also thought, was just hoping that it got faster recently ;) .

Will try to buy tickets in a week from interview day and hope for the best... I think it would be impossible or very expensive to buy tickets for the next day if we wait for visa to arrive first ?
