Consulate Review: Ukraine
Review Topic: K1 Visa

| Event |
Description |
| Review Date : |
October 10, 2011 |
| Embassy Review : |
What can you say about Consulate, that understands your situation? How many stars it deserves? Definitely more than 5.
We had a situation with Olya's daughter aging-out of eligibility to come over, so we decided to give it a shot, and sent e-mail to Embassy well in advance, while paperwork still was at NVC. Didn't get any reply, and though all is lost. But on September 27 Olya got a call (and I got e-mail) saying that, although Consular Section is closed on last Friday of the month, they decided to do one interview - her, to give us a chance in age-out situation.
So here we go. Olya arrived at Consular Section, they let her right in. Usual stuff - sorting paperwork, fingerprints and then.... interview. It was kind of long, and centered on our relationship before filing I-129F. Since we know each other for many years - it is understandable. They had to rule out any doubt, that our relationship is real. At the end Consul took all Olya's original documents, passports, printed facebook conversations for last month (over 200 pages), asked her to e-mail more pictures from her visits to the USA and told her that he can't make decision right away, will wait for more pictures and then take another look at whole file.
To make long story short, ten days later Olya got passports back with visas and additional 2 pieces of paper, that made whole ordeal clear: two e-mails from ex-husband to Embassy with baseless claims against Olya and I. Obviously Consulate had to check those facts, but still it was done in record time. |

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
