8am Moscow time August 8th! We are both confident that the interview will go well, as we have all the required documents as well as ample evidence of our relationship.

The only remaining concern is something I mentioned last month -- she renewed her passport with her married name, but all the paperwork for the I-129f was in her maiden name, so she's showing up with a different surname than the one they expect. I hope this doesn't cause them to run another background check and delay issuance of the visa, especially since we are having another wedding ceremony in the US on Sep. 8 and plane tickets are reserved for next week!

So here's to good thoughts and may everything please go smoothly!

:dance:WE ARE APPROVED!!!!! :dance:

I only spoke with my wife briefly because she was heading into the metro on her way back to the hotel so I don't have all the details yet. But she did say that the interviewer was incredibly nice and never acted suspicious or sneaky or anything with his questioning. The only hiccup was that her most recent employer was a cruise line based in Moscow so that's their address, but she never actually lived or worked in Moscow. He asked why she didn't get a police record from Moscow so she explained the situation and he went to ask somebody else and came back and said it was okay! My wife told him that she already had a plane ticket for the 14th and he said she should definitely have her passport back with the visa before then!

I'll get more details later and post a full review of the interview, but from what I heard so far it was very painless and the interviewer was very friendly.

My only question is that I read that people are usually given some slip or receipt at the end of the interview that indicates the outcome, but she wasn't given anything. She does have the DHL shipping receipt for how they will send her passport back, though. Is it normal in Moscow to not receive any document at the end?
