It was so easy!!!
my interview was set on 8 am, I came to consulate at 7.30, there were a LOT of people already!about 50 or 60! so I got into the line and started waiting. Police started to let in people at 7.45, they collect passports from group of people(of 10-12), I believe, they comparing surnames at some list in their booth and then policeman let you into another line directly to the door to embassy. There they check your printed appointment, where your surname and date is shown ( when you register for appointment onlin you got this paper sent to your e-mail), then there is a security check ( you should leave some stuff at the enter point, such as electronic devices, cables, parfume, guns and knives, etc.). I had only my documents and a book to kill time there, so i left only a cell there, I saw people bringing laptops and other stuff- think twice before getting something like that to the place like embassy you will safe your time and nerves, I promise!
I got into the building at 8.15 am.
so after the security there is 3 windows where you should be registered at first- I showed my appointment paper to a nice lady , she glued on it new barcode and sent me to the waiting area, which is situated at separated area for immigration visa petitioners, there were very few people, i should say.
There was only one window open at the waiting area, there was russian lady sitting, checking everyone who was coming into the waiting area. That means she checks your presence and sends you back to waiting area for taking seat and waiting))
Then, in a little while, she announces your surname, collect your documents according to the list on the embassy site and sends you to fingerprinting.
and a little bit of waiting again.
Consulate Officers appeared at 10 am. There were tall guy with slim face and stylish lady with dark short hair. They took packages (fiances' are pink , look through it for a while and ask a person to come to window.
I wasn't any nervous since i got my medical on hands, but when I saw my papers in hands of consul, my heart sank and started beating like i just beat the world jogging record.
I was lucky to be the 3-rd persond to be interviewed, so at 10.20 I was standing in fron of this nice lady, saying my oath. she asked me if i speak English and started interview in english))
those are the quesstions I got:
-How did you meet?
-Did you try to visit him? ( I tried twice to apply for tourist visa, but was denied both times). I made her laugh telling that we thought it would be easier for me to visit him, than for him visiting me
-Did he visit you twice here?( No, he visited me 3 times, last time was this september)
-Ok, everything seems to be ok, your visa is going to arrive to you in a week
I almost cried, couldn't believe i'm listening to these words, I was so thankful!!!
at 10.25 i was leaving the embassy, happily smiling, dialing my sweetheart to tell great news!
