Consulate Review: Moscow, Russia

Description |
| Review Date : |
May 31, 2008 |
| Embassy Review : |
Here are the questions asked:
How did you meet your fiancé?
How many times did your fiancé visit you?
How long did he stay the last time?
One year! He must love you very much. Where did you live?
Did he work here?
How did he find the Russian winter?
Where will you live in America?
How is the weather in Ohio?
For some reason, the consulate officer failed to look at the entire package and, specifically, all the financial documents. This created a misunderstanding. He believed I, alone, was ill equipped to sponsor my fiancée and requested a I-864 from a co-sponsor to be submitted within one week. My fiancée's visa was approved pending a RFE. Within 24 hours, he discovered his own error and contacted my fiancée to state her visa was approved. He further stated it would be sent immediately and no further documentation was required. Her visa arrived within two days. 
This would have been a perfect 5 out of 5 score, however I must deduct 1 point for the 24 hours of unnecessary stress to my fiancée and myself.  |

*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.
