Scheduling the Interview

[mskinner 6]

I'm expecting to receive my NOA2 within the next 2-3 weeks, and now that the process is going to start moving again, I was hoping to make things move as quickly as possible. I'm wondering, when is the earliest that I can schedule the K1 Visa Interview, and how? I know my fiancee can expect a packet in the mail, but I remember reading that it is possible to schedule the interview online before the packet is received. I'm not sure if this is embassy specific, but we will be interviewing at the Moscow, Russia embassy.

 

I apologize if this is a duplicate post.

 

Thanks,
Matt

NVC will notify and set interview date.

Russians don't get packages. You as the petitioner will receive an email. And then your fiance, after logging in the ustravel.com, will get her email stating she is available to make an appointment. 

After being approved by USCIS wait for 10-14 days and start calling nvc for your number (which will start with MOS). after that you can go further with the process. Good luck! Take into account that the soonest interview dates are for the mid Jan. So, be ready for March-April dates in your case

Thanks for the response Marta! ustravel.com seems to be the wrong site. Maybe there was a typo? 

We'll be happy to finally have a date, even if it is in March! =)

oh i meant ustraveldocs.com

Good luck with waiting and the rest of the process. We came during not a very good period here talking about all these delays. But may we all be strong and patient to go through!

NVC does not set interview date.

 

When the embassy is ready they will send an email to the petitioner to schedule interview.  You will need to fill out DS-160, enter the confirmation number at UStraveldocs.com account, and then pay the visa fee through Russian bank.  Wait about 24 hours for the visa fee to clear, and then enter the invoice number in your UStraveldocs.com account.

 

When everything is done on UStraveldocs.com account, you just wait for appointment times to be available and then select from available dates.  When interview dates finally opened up, we had one date to choose from.

 

Good luck and be patient.

As what I have understood based on this notification... sorry

No need to apologize.  It is confusing.  The final interview schedule is done through the embassy via the UStraveldocs.com website.  At least that is my experience through the US Embassy in Moscow Russia.
