Consulate Review: Moscow, Russia Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : February 10, 2007 Embassy Review : Everything seemed to work pretty much as expected from reading the information they sent and the information on this website. The only advice I'd give to anyone applying there is that most likely your invitation will say that you need to be there at 0740 but that the interview is at 0800. Well they don't open the doors to enter the Embassy until 0800... or at least they are supposed to. On our day they didn't open until 0820. I would also suggest that you get there earlier, sometime between 0700 and 0720 preferably and start the line to go in. Otherwise you'll be in line with all the other applicants for the day. Also... if it's cold weather, wear VERY WARM clothes. We stood for an hour out in -20 degree weather while it snowed on us for 1 hour... neither of us could feel our feet when they opened the door and let her in. I went back to our room and warmed my feet up before heading back to wait for her to exit. In total it took a little over 2 hours from when Tanya walked into the Embassy for her to exit. Rating : Good

*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.
