Consulate Review: Moscow, Russia
Review Topic: K1 Visa

July 31, 2011 |
| Embassy Review : |
There were about 10-12 people on that day, mostly women with kids and I was the last one to have my interview, so I got to listen to everybody's elses interviews. Most people had their interviews in Russian - it was just me and one more girl, who spoke English to the CO. The intervies didn't last longer than 5 minutes - except for a pregnant girl's interview (as far as I understood she was married to an American before that).
The CO actually asked only a couple of questions concerning my fiance: how we met - I told the whole story about how we met in summer 2008 in the USA all the way untill his first trip to Russia, the CO just asked "and you were back the next summer?", I said "yes" and that was it. She also asked me about his job. She did look at the pictures too, and then she was just asking me about my trips to the States (I've been to the US 3 times on J-1 Work and Travel visa), where I worked, what kind of job I had, where I stayed, which place I liked more etc. And then she said that everything was in order and that she approved my visa.
So, I'm done with this part of my visa journey |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
