We are approved!!!!! :dance::dance: Talked to NVC about 10:00pm last night and was told we were appoved. So now on to Kiev for medicals and interview!!! :dance::dance::dance:

Congrats, it won't be long now. Follow the paperwork requirements closely and call the embassy in about 4 weeks if you haven't received the information packet from them. It's pretty easy stuff once you get past the NVC. Good Luck!

And So It Begins......

Congratulations! Now to speed things along...some tips.

DO NOT wait for the consulate to receive the petition and then send Packet 3. You could be waiting a LONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG time. Go to the embassy webiste and download Packet 3 and get to work on it. (if you haven't already) Your fiancee can get the police check now if she has not already. You can get the medical exam as soon as you have your KEV number which will be on the letter you receive from the NVC.

Email the consulate 2 weeks after you receive your letter from NVC. Reference your case number and ask if your case has been received. Email them at kyiviv@state.us By the time they receive this you should be able to have all your documents for the interview. As soon as they say they have your case, call the "call center" and make your appointment. Even with this effort, you can expect to wait until perhaps 2 months from the NOA2 date before your interview. Perhaps faster. Our NOA2 date was May 15, the first interview date we were offered was June 23 but we could not make it to that date. The next date was August 7 and we made that one! So be prepared and take the first date offered if you can, because the next may be another 6 weeks or so.

Good luck, the interviews in Kiev are super easy IF you have all the documents in order.

Gary

Hey Gary, Thanks for all the tips. I noticed that you have filed for a K-1 we filed a CR-1 so had to send the police report to NVC along with the DS-230 only document she has to provide for the interview will be the travel approval for her son. All the rest will come to the embassy from NVC.

Since you filed a K-1 your procedure is a bit different. Thanks again.

Hey Blake thanks for the congrats :thumbs: Just so you know CR-1 works a bit different than the K-1 process at this point. Embassy should have her paperwork from NVC in about two weeks then they will set up the interview.
