How often does Kiev reject a K-1 application

My girl thinks it is never - that in Kiev it is a formality.

I know of at least one from this forum. I did see some bad experiences that all ended in eventual approval in the reviews. One denial.

Red flags are age difference (31 years), meetings (3), length of relationship (less than a year) and now an inaccurate G325.

I think Kiev is pretty easy embassy. I don't think meeting only three times would be a red flag, or having a relationship for less than a year. I know a big age gap may be a red flag but you just need to make sure you have proof of relationship to overcome that. I saw a case online in Ukraine where a woman was 30 years older than her fiancé and they were approved. :)

Red flags are age difference (31 years), meetings (4), length of relationship (less than a year), length of time between divorce final and meeting (3 months), an inaccurate G325, and an older white guy who might be a Trump supporter. I wrote in Cond Rice and I thought about getting a Condi for president t-shirt but have not found anything here in Kiev to do custom Ts.

Since my divorce was 19 years in the making (it was one year in when she asked me: "why don't you just divorce me?" for the first time), I tend not to think about the short time between final divorce and meeting as a red flag. A CO who does not view marriage as a covenant relationship might be totally clueless about why I stuck it out so long.

Seems like things are getting tougher in Kiev. Harvidiv was in AP since Nov 2 - nothing required just additional investigation. That was a 4 hour process with 3 interviews with different COs. On that day, another K-1 rejected outright.

The IV unit might have made changes on the basis of perceived patterns of fraud.

A new IV Chief might have taken over and revised policies & procedures.
