Hi All,

My fiance and I recently had our petition approved and we are in the process of getting everything together for the interview. I am in search of a blog that is written in Russian that pertains to K1 applicants from Ukraine. I have found a couple that are for Russia but none for Ukraine. If anyone knows a good blog that I can send to her so she can really read about it I would be very thankful.

Thanks,

Noah

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

Most of those blogs and forums contain very false and misleading information. Stay with VJ.

This one is not bad. It has lots of useful step by step information for k1 and k2 for Moscow as well as for Kiev.

But I agree-- it is better to ask here, on Visajourney. You can find all the answers from people who came through the whole process.

Also, for Ukraine they have a really great PDF with all the instructions on their site. It's available in Ukrainian (not Russian though) here: http://photos.state.gov/libraries/ukraine/895/pdf/K_Instructions_ukr_001.pdf

If you just follow all their instructions to the letter, you should have no problems with K1. Kyiv is pretty easy with K1 visas.

Thanks all for the help. I seem to be having problems printing the deposit slip for the visa fee. I have tried every browser I know of and updated my adobe but nothing. Time to get on the phone and see what happens.

You must use Adobe Reader. Nothing else will work. When it opens, you should have a yellow bar at the top. You must click the button in that bar and allow it to do its stuff.
