When do they begin to start FBI name check - from the time the I-130 is filed at the consulate or do they wait until after the interview?

Thanks....

Someone may correct me, but I believe it's started when the visa application is submitted (DS 230) - so after I-130 and before the interview.

As much as I understood, checks were made after the I-130 was submitted. Then, when you get email approval, you can make the interview through the Call Center. Then, after the interview and visa application, it is possible that there could be further checks. Even though they promise to mail you the visa, there could be delays, so don't make too many travel plans until you get your visa in hand.

Let us know if you have more questions about the Kyiv embassy. We completed DCF there this summer.
