I went with my fiance to the interview in Kiev on January 22 and I am very happy that I did because we had NO PROBLEMS and NO QUESTIONS asked.
Ok let me start from the begining..... Frist we came in at 9 am (our interview is at 9:30) and there was a big line a head of us but I came up to the guy in black coat saying "American Embassy" and told him that I'm an US Citizen and we have an inteview set up at 9:30am and he just let us in right away. He said that my fiance can't take any bags of phone or anything with him except papers, but he told me that I can take anything with me because I'm a US Citizen. We went in and went thru the security check and went to that glass window where they asked us all the papers. They guy behind the window was very nice to us, I'm sure it was becuase I was there and we have all of our papers complete and neat, and ready for him when he asked me for them. then we had a seat and waited to be called. Lady called my fiance Vitalik to do his fingerprints and in about 50min to an hour Vitalik got called for the interview by the american cosular that was very nice. I went in with Vitalik and the consulat asked me if I was his USC Fiance and I said yes. He asked me to show him my passport, then asked us both to raise our hand and affirm that everything in the papers are true, we did that. Then he gave Vitalik to sign a paper, and asked me if I came to the US as refugee and I said yes, and then he gave us the infamous pink slip. That was it, UNBELIEVABLE fast and NO QUESTIONS asked. We went to pay for visa delivery, actually we arranged to pick up the visa instead of it being mailed to us but still had to pay $8.
We left at 11am and were off to eat breakfast :)
I would reccomend everyone (US Citizen fiances) to go with your foreign fiance to the interview, it helps ALOT, takes alot of stress off their sholder and the consulars are WAY NICER to you if you're there with them, thats a BIG proof for the relationship too.
Good Luck to everyone and let me know if I can help anyone! |

It went very smooth because I was there and helped out my fiance (he doesn't really speak English). We got held a little longer because there was a guy in front of us that wouldn't listen to the officer to sit still and so they had to deal with him and then helped us. Other than that it was great and fast. Well they could found the employment authorization form so they just stapled white card to the passport and wrote the Auth Nuber on the back and officer said that we can use that as work authorization :) |

*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.
