Member Reviews:

Consulate Review: Ukraine Review Topic: General Review Event Description Review Date : September 23, 2013 Embassy Review : I have heard how simple the interviews are in Kiev and our experience with them shows this. We had a ton of information for proof of relationship. They barley glanced at it according to Vika. They asked her a bit about me, my children, and my job and how we met. It was very informal and Vika said the girl doing the interview couldn't have been more than 21 or 22 years old. She said congratulations your visa is open. Which I found a strange word to use when most other said approved but in the end it was all fine. She was at the embassy no more than 2 hours as I waited up late for that text message once she got her phone back. One thing to note. On Friday, the day after the interview, our case status went form "Ready" to "Administrative processing" Of course we got nervous after hearing the horrible stories. But after a long weekend it changed from "AP" to "Issued". It appears when they are working on printing your visa and the necessary forms that it temporarily will say "AP". So unless you were given a 221(g) and they say they need more information don't freak out like we did. Give it a couple days to go to those wonderful words of "issued". Overall the embassy was a great experience for her. Rating : Very 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.
