Clarification on How Moscow Embassy Handles Interview Process

[tanderson64 201]

I was under the impression that the US Embassy in Moscow handled all notification and setting up the visa interview through email, and did not send and receive "packets 3 and 4".  

 

Can someone please confirm this from their recent experience?

 

Thanks!

I didn't do a K-1 so I have no idea. According to the Consulate info on VJ, there is no packet 3 or 4. I have no idea if that info is accurate though.

Not sure how much has changed, but Katya told me that she was notified when the package arrived, then she filled out the DS160 paid the fee and scheduled the physical and interview herself.  Back then you could do the physical a day or two before the interview and hand-carry the results to the interview. 

 

I am not sure if this helps, but I wouldn't wait for the Consulate to do the scheduling as you may be waiting a while.

 

Good Luck!

Thanks,  I found a post that talks about the US embassy in Russia.  

 

I think I understand the process now. Call NVX to get case number.  When case is ready at embassy, you can pay and schedule interview.  Schedule medical. 

 

Then embassy will mail packet?  My fiancé is currently moving.  I just need to know to expect the packet in the mail or not?
