Status of K1 visas in Russia

[Ayna and Chris 3]

Hi everyone,

My fiance and I filed for a K1 visa back in march and the time frame is slowly moving into the period when we might get our NOA2. 

Does anyone know, with the situation right now, if theyre doing K1 visa interviews at the US embassy in moscow and how long it takes to schedule one?

Normall waiting from Noa1 till Noa 2 now is around 180-190days. then plus around 2 months to make next steps including interview and medical test.

Girls from Russia say that they have issues with date of interview because of politics situation between USA and Russia. A lot of them  make visas at another countries. Also in internet are groups (may be even here) of women who check free dates- because they are free for few minutes sometimes.

Have you called the embassy itself to find out this detail? Maybe try visiting the website for more info: https://ru.usembassy.gov/

I'm just hoping things are better by the time our case gets to Moscow (late May 2018 filer, so that's looking like early 2019 right now). But going through anywhere else isn't really practical from where she's at.
