Rich and Lenochka
Rating:  | Review Topic: K1 Visa
Called into the U.S. Embassy on fairly short notice; visa interview was expedited due to an illness in family of beneficiary. My fiancee arrived at embassy gate with no written invitation, but she was on "the list" so there was no problem with admission.
She arrived at 0800, but her interview was the last one of the day. She was interviewed by a pleasant young man, apparently very handsome as she remarked all the women were hoping to be interviewed by him.
The interview was conducted in Russian language; my fiancee says his Russian was flawless. Hmmm. Sounds like infatuation to me.
He asked a few garden variety questions; how did you meet, where, how have you kept in touch with each other. She showed him the logs of our skype calls and our photos. She brought her documents from the police department but forgot to have them translated into English. He told her not to worry, she could send them when she got home. He told her he still needed to review a few documents after she left for home, but she wouldn't need to return to Moscow (i.e. no second interview necessary). She sent the documents on her return home the next day. We were in "final review and name check" for 18 days, then received the visa 9/13.
My fiancee says the young man was very professional. She tried to soften him up with some small talk but he did not answer her questions, and immediately re-directed the conversation so that HE was asking all the questions. All in all she says it was a very good interview, and she was favorably impressed with the organization and efficiency of the U.S. Embassy and consular employees.
