Standard or Application Processing

[Henykat 16]

Hello! Does anyone know if the consulate in Moscow uses Standard or Application Post processing?

Maybe nobody is answering because they don't understand what you mean by Standard and Application Post processing.

Could be wrong about the "post" part, but I understand Application processing is when most documents are sent directly to the NVC and Standard processing is when most documentation is received by the consulate and the NVC simply handles the fees.

If memory serves me correctly, Homeland security processes the petition for a fiance visa, and charges a fee. If it is approved, it is forwarded to NVC (without any fee), but the case usually sits at NVC for only a few days unless they find some problem or suspicion about which they want to do further research. Then they will forward your case to the consulate in the country in which your fiancee lives, and another fee will be charged for the interview as well as for a medical exam that must be done prior to the interview. Does that answer your question?

Not really. There are two different ways documentation is processed. Application processing requires most documents to be sent to the NVC and Standard processing is handled primarily at the consulate level:

I was referring to a K-1 visa. Are you getting a different kind of visa? If yes, you should specify. In your link, it shows that NVC receives documents from USCIS. You don't send anything yourself to NVC. NVC simply looks over what they get from USCIS, enters your info into the computer system and generates a case number for you. As your link says, this step usually flies by. There is nothing for you to do in the NVC step.
