The staff in the Embassy was very helpful, especially by Ukrainian standards. They were really trying to help people. We saw several people filling out forms right there. One person had to go out to take his passport photos. Another person was given a pink card (it means that you got your visa), but had to supply a police certificate from Kazakhstan where she lived 20 years ago. They said they would not deliver her passport until after she brought that document to the Embassy. There were several people applying for adoption and the staff was very nice to them too.
We had all our documents in order. Since neither of us had a job in the US at the moment, we thought we would have to have a joint sponsor (someone agreed to be one), but the Embassy just accepted our affidavit of support. I guess we had enough assets.
We arrived at 915 and left at 1130. Be prepared to wait.
We were not asked any questions during the interview. Apparently, our case was rather easy. We have been married for 4 years though.
We were told that the passport is supposed to arrive in 7-10 days. We'll see (we are in Kyiv). The whole process took us about 2.5 months after we were allowed to apply DCF.
