Consulate Review: Ukraine Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : August 30, 2008 Embassy Review : My husband had his interview they approved his visa because all paper work was in order he was fingerprinted and paid the fedex fee for delivery of the visa. The visa never came so I called and was told it was under consular reveiw. Still no visa I called again and was told it could take up to a year to receive the visa because he was under administrative processing. my complaint is they knew they were going to do this so why take his passport it took me 6 weeks to get his passport back and letters and calls to my senator and the DOS. Ukraine is known for their marriage brokers and trust me all Ukranian women will never be put under AP. The country is a joke the Embassy is a joke a $1 will buy you anything. I am prepared now to wait for a year for my husbands visa while they issue women their kids visas everyday. I can really not say one nice word about the Embassy you even have to pay to talk to them. Rating : Very Poor

*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.
