Hello everyone. Good news ! My fiancee Yulia got the visa approved in kiev today :dance: She told me it went so fast. We had folders on top of folders of so much paperwork. They looked at only half of it. She tried to give them more but the lady there said , no no no! LOL I think she saw that we have 100% real relationship and did not need any more proof of that. I would tell everyone to make sure you have all your paperwork in order and half lots of it. That might help you like it did Yulia and I. Also, VJ help us so much. This forum answered so many questions for us. Most of all I want to thank everyone for all your help and support. Thank you so much my VJ friends. Talk to you all soon! Jeff :D

Congratulations!

Having just received my NOA2 yesterday I am hoping to ask you a few questions if that is OK?

  • When did you get your NOA2? (The date is missing in your timeline – maybe you can add it?)
  • How long did it take from NOA2 until the Embassy in Kyiv received your hardcopies?
  • When did you call to schedule the Interview and how long was the backlog?

Best Wishes and please share your future POE experience.

We never got the NOA2 hard copy.Just a letter from NVC letting us know they have the approved I-129 F and that everything will be sent to Kiev for the interview. I am fighting with the california Service Center right now trying to get the NOA-2 hard copy. They are not very helpful !!! Also I think Yulia called to Kiev for the interview 2 months in advance. She did not say anything to me about any backlog. I would say as soon as you get the NOA-2 or a letter from NVC like I did , call to Kiev to set up the interview. Also, There is a ton of paper work you need so I would work on this now so your not trying to get everything done at the last minute. Triple check everything so your are sure you have everthing in order. Good luck with everything! Need any more help just send me a message. Jeff
