I hope it will be helpful for my fellow kazakh and kyrgyz k1 applicants since there was no update on consulate review since 2013. My NOA 2 was approved on July 29 and NVC received my package on August 22 (yes took almost 1 month ). Almty consulate received my package sometime in September.
So i got my interview date which was in October 14th. I have received package 4 stating that i only need to provide documents that are listed in this packet. On October 13th i did my medical which took about 1 hour, Xray and blood test. Note: Took all your medical cards you have so you can tell exact dates of taking tests, vaccines and disease you have. On October 14th in the morning i stopped by Medical place picked up my envelope (do not open it ) and brought it to the consulate along with other documents stated in the list. My interview was at 8 am. I have arrived at 7:40 and stayed there for 20 mins freezing (so my advice arrive 10 mins before, cause the anyways let you in exactly at 8). We were only 4 peple including me. (three of others were green card lottery applicants). I was the first, i turned in all my docs and paid fee. So the consular guy called my name and i went to this small room and sat there. As usual, he asked me to raise my right hand and pledge. He asked i want to speak russian or english, i preferred english. He did not ask for any pictures, tickets or I 134 form. I saw he had my package we sent to USCIS before and he looked at pictures there. He asked how did i meet my fiance, what does he do now, where is he now, why did i change my last name and does my fieance or i have kids, and was one of us married before or not. I answered all this and he told me everything looks good and told me my visa will be ready the day after tomorrow.
So overall my interview was 4 minutes i think.
one day later i went to pick up my package and visa, everyone was very nice and polite except that security woman (she was mean and i told her that she a rude one and she needs to be think about it).
thats pretty much it. i hope i helped someone who is from kazakhstan or kyrgyzstan
It took me 10 months from applying till getting my visa in hand. such a long journey. but we are done with the first step. Hanging in there guys, it worth it
