Hello VJ Members,
Our interview has not been scheduled yet (got our NOA2 on Feb 4th) but I am searching for any cheap and good hotel that is close to the US Consulate in Almaty, Kazakhstan (or easy to get a drive to), as I am now making a spreadsheet with all estimated expenses. I will need to stay at a hotel when I travel to Almaty for my K1 visa interview. I have looked up some hotels on the internet myself, however, if you happen to have any useful info I would be grateful if you could share it.
Thank you for your help in advance,
J&N

Might want to edit your first post title topic to specify what country/consulate... Europe is a big place and you want people who know about the right place to read it.
