 Visa approved! US Embassy staff in Almaty was very friendly. They wanted to make sure that my fiancee felt comfortable. The entire process took 1 & 1/2 hours. The interview itself was short and simple questions (i.e. was I married; do either of us have children; when we met; and what my job is). If your fiancee is not from Kazakhstan, make sure she/he registers within 72 hours of arrival into the country. Otherwise, be prepared to pay a $200 registration tax to the migration police instead of the original $20 (approx) registration fee. They also may take the fiancee's passport for a couple of days as they process the penalty tax and can prevent her/him from leaving the country.
