Took fingerprints and a photo, looked at the package my fiancee had brought from the embassy, and asked her if she brought any food. Then it was "Welcome to the US"......No problems at all. |

Consulate Review: Chisinau, Moldova

| Embassy Review : |
Notes from our experience with the Moldova Embassy -
1) They are extremely helpful and work very diligently. I went into the embassy once to ask them questions about the engagement ring and if it was required. They answered my question within 10 minutes of being inside the embassy. For my fiancee's interview, she was in and out of the embassy in an hour (I think it was actually 30-45 mins at most). The staff is great.
2) They took our Packet #3 a day before the NVC package came in the mail. My fiancee was traveling through Chisinau and they allowed us to do this. Again very helpful. Saved her an extra trip!
3) We had some problems getting an appointment scheduled. We emailed them but did not get a quick response. I would suggest physically going to the embassy and asking for an appt after the medical exam if you live close.
4) Questions from interview:
1) What my parents do for a living
2) Where I live? Where do my parents live? Has she met my parents? Has she seen them on skype?
3) A few misc questions about skype convos
4) How did we meet?
5) A few questions about the engagement ring, which my fiancee doesn't have one yet and we are buying one in the states when she comes (she is going to help pick it out)
6) Do I speak any Romanian?
7) Will her parents come to our wedding? Will her sisters or brothers?
8) When do we usually talk (time difference, etc.)

*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.
