| Embassy Review : |
The interview at the Embassy went well. We were walking by the embassy the day before, and I asked what time we should arrive for our appointment. They said there is no need to arrive early; they were right. We showed up about 5 minutes before the time of our appointment, and a few minutes after that they called us forward and we skipped the many lines formed outside.
We waited in one room the entire time- first we submitted the documents at one window, then paid the fee down the hall and submitted the receipt back in the room we were waiting in. Then about 90 minutes later, they called Yulia up to get fingerprinted. Then about 70 minutes after that, they called Yulia up for her interview- it wasn't in a private room, just down a hallway with a privacy screen. The interviewer knew I was there, and asked to see me. I went behind the screen and she said hello and asked how we had met, it wasn't at all an interrogation, just pleasant questions. Then she asked me to leave so she could interview Yulia. She was an American, but spoke excellent Russian (with a large accent, but perfect grammar).
I stood in the waiting room, but close to the hall and i could hear the entire interview. It was pleasant; the woman asked if they could do the interview in English, but was completely willing to do it in Russian. She asked how we met, how we got to know each other, if I know her family, if she knows my family, if she knew that I had been married before, where I work, etc. Then she congratulated Yulia, and told her she would receive a Visa.
I only give a 4/5 rating, because we waited there for more than 3 hours (including paying FedEx); the personnel were very friendly, and the environment wasn't too stressful. Well done, Kiev Consulate. |

*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.
