My fiancé was wanting either a fiancé interview or a tourist visa to US and she was saying she can now go to Kiev instead of all the way to Warsaw Poland . Just want to know if this is correct if Kiev embassy is accepting interviewees now or they still have everything closed ? Please advise 🙏

Best to let her progress the matter

That page would normally indicate the number of days between submitting a B2 application and an appointment. "Closed" means they aren't taking applications.  See this page:

Yeah, sending money abroad to someone you've never met is not something we would ever advise.

If your fiancée is Russian, are you sure she'd even want to go to Ukraine right now? 

Is she still living outside of Russia?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shes just my gf and she’s Ukrainian. But she aint that anymore once i catch her in all these lies . Well half russian half Ukrainian.  I wonder if it’s possible to see how long kyiv embassy has been closed because she allegedly got the “interview “ in April for August 2nd.

I thought fiancée since that's what you wrote in your initial message.  I got confused about her citizenship from reading your prior topics, but maybe it's a different person.

 

Best of luck figuring things out.
