Hello, I've reviewed many threads here, but still have some questions.

 

My fiancee is from Belarus.

Maybe somebody from Belarus who recently had an interview in Warsaw, Poland could help me out.

 

  1. As I understood, the medical exam can be done only after receiving the case number from NVC, but no need to wait for the documents to reach the embassy/consulate.
    Do you know whether it is allowed to do the medical before we even get the case number?
  2. When did you obtain the police certificate? Right after receiving the case number from NVC, too?
  3. Do you remember how much time it took for the medical exam and police certificate and how much did you pay?
  4. Does my fiancee's birth certificate needs to be translated and notarized or just translated?
  5. Do I, U.S. citizen (USC), need to do anything special to be allowed at my fiancee's interview? Do I just come to the interview with my passport and will be allowed in? No need for me to fill out DS-160?

 

Thank you in advance!

Also, I need to update my fiancee's mailing address.
Two old threads (1, 2) suggest to do that after the NVC has our case.


As per another suggestion I read somewhere else, I'm going to request an update by calling them and also mailing them, but I can't figure out what address to use:

 

This page says:

Mail (for immigrant visa inquiries only):
National Visa Center
Attn: WC
31 Rochester Avenue
Suite 200
Portsmouth, NH  03801-2915

 

But K-1 is in the non-immigrant sections on some sites, on others in immigrant... :)

The K-1 is a "hybrid" visa -- a nonimmigrant visa with immigrant intent.

This is why interviews are with the Immigrant Visa Units of the consulates.

I-129F petitions spend almost no time at the NVC.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

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."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.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

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

Hi, I am from Belarus. Though, I have not had recently an interview, but I am going to do this soon and I have some information about this process. 

1. Case number from NVC is needed for medical examination along with address in US, where she is going to live. Your fiancee will need to know them.

2. Police certificate can be obtained without case number. It is valid 1 year.

So she can obtain it in advance.

3. To get results of medical examination it can take 7-14 days, especially in Summer. Medical costs $190 - adult, $140 - child under 14 years.

Police certificate: costs 12,25 bel.rubles- within 7-15 days, or 24,5 bel.rubles - within 3 days.

4. The birth certificate needs to be just translated.

5. USC does not need to feel out something. Just use your passport to enter the US embassy. Though, it doesnt guarantee that you will be allowed to attend the interview with your fiancee when she will be asked. It depends on person who will interview her.
