A personal note:  Those of us who are finished with this infernal immigration process sincerely hope and pray for progress in your case.

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.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.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

So I filed on 12/28/2017 and received my NOA2 on 7/23/2017 and called in and received my case #, they said to wait until the case gets sent to the embassy of my fiance, just wondering how long does that usually take?

 

Many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline or your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer. If you look at the profile others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply as we can quickly determine your Embassy. Our answers will sometimes be tailored to a specific Embassy hence the reason for you to complete your profile.

 

So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question.

 

Go to the top right of this page select your name (it's on the upper right hand corner)>my profile>[below your picture on the right column] edit my profile. Scroll to the bottom and fill in "Immigration Info". There now we can better serve you.

 

Thanks

No, I scheduled it once I got “in transit” status, 2 1/2 weeks ago. That was a bit of a risk but I researched and assured myself that it would arrive in Kiev and be “ready” within one week, and it did.

 

Theres no risk in getting the medical exam early, as it’s valid for six months.

I meant, is it a big line to record for the interview. or in the embassy many free days?

At the point I booked, the month of August looked pretty open.  We had to wait a little longer than expected but were in and out in under 90 minutes.

Thank you

He asked her “When and how did we meet?” He also asked her if we had a child and been married before.

 

He asked me if I was the petitioner.  He also asked me what I did for a living, and where we planned upon getting married.  All questions were made in a very pleasant tone by an American.  I thanked him and he wished us all the best.

 

Before our interview, the documents check guy was a little more stern, but just standard Ukrainian stone face. Thinking about it in looking at consulate reviews, just make sure to have *more than enough* documentation, the actual talk will be a breeze unless they detect any red flags.  And it was good advice I was given to show up in support of my fiancée. It’s not required, but you want to put this to bed after nine months of waiting.

 

Specially he asked for: Police report, medical exam, affidavit of support form, her birth certificate, my tax returns, my bank records, and proof of relationship.
