A month after DHL listed that the the Embassy had received the visa packet, we got tired of waiting and finally called the Embassy to check on the status of the application. The folks at the Embassy were a bit brusque on the phone, but within half an hour, they sent Lusine and interview invitation.
The interview itself went very smoothly as Lusine was well prepared (several copies of all the forms and documentation) and we had a well-documented relationship history as she had received a tourist visa to visit Nicholas through the same embassy ten months ago. The Consular Official thanked Lusine for making his job so easy because the decision to approve was so obvious!
We had actually bought the plane ticket before the interview which is risky because even if she was approved, they might not have her passport and visa packet prepared in time! It was appearing that this would be the case for us, so we contacted the Embassy via e-mail and phone to inform them of the urgency of our situation. They made an exception for Lusine by rushing the process and allowing her to collect her documents on Thursday afternoon. Perfect timing as that was the day before her flight!
