My fiance is in Russia, Our case is currently at NVC just waiting for the mail from them as last update from them was: "The National Visa Center (NVC) has received your petition and will send detailed instructions to the petitioner, principal applicant, and attorney of record (if applicable) soon." anyone know the typical timeline from this to getting the instructions then ultimately the Embassy recieving the case?
We are trying to prepare for Schengen application and a bit worried she won't get approved. She just graduated from specialist degree in February but hasn't looked for a job since she will be coming to the USA so instead been using the time to be with family and prepare. We have around 5k USD in her account and can add more if it would help. Ive also heard it might be possible for me to sponsor her Schengen even if we aren't married, has anyone done this before? We are initially going to try Hungary with places like Bulgaria, Italy and Greece as back ups.
I really don't want to have to transfer the case and delay it longer so any tips on best way to ensure she can get approved for Schengen? Even if it costs more.
