Consulate Review: Ukraine Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : January 27, 2006 Embassy Review : Our interview date was 1/20/06. We stayed at an apartment we rented just around the corner from the American Medical building. Our interview time was 8:45. We were called by the intake worker about 30 minutes of waiting. The worker was very nice and commented on how organized and complete all our paperwork was. After another 1 hour wait, the consulate officer called us to the window for the interview. He asked me how long was my ex-wife and I separated prior to getting our divorce (I guess since my divorce was very recent - Oct.17, 05). He then asked me to go back to the waiting room. He asked my fiancée about her daughter who is attending school in the US. Very little was asked about our relationship. The interview lasted about 15 minutes but told my fiancée that because she was a Russian citizen, she would require an additional security check that would take about 3 weeks. We were told that the visa would be sent to my fiancée’s apartment via FedEx in about 3 weeks. I found everyone we came in contact was very nice. I would highly recommend dressing VERY warmly as it was -30 C with a wind of about 15 MPH while we were there! Rating : Good

*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.
