Tourist Visa interview in Kiev - anyone?!

[marconey 0]

Hello everyone!

I'll get straight to the point and ask my questions (I have been spending a lot of time digging through for those pieces of advice and wisdom!!).

- Has you been to the US. Embassy in Kiev in the context of a Tourist Visa / B-1/B-2?

- If yes, what was the interview like? What specific questions were asked? What documents were asked?

I am thinking of sponsoring my girlfriend to the US on a tourist visa. Now I understand the "slimness" of this feat! But she does have a 10 year old daughter with her over there, who attends school. So she has a compelling reason to return. After she comes here, we may adjust her status - I would very much like this to be the case. I know that adjusting the status after coming here on a Tourist Visa is another "no, no". But right now I see that as the speedier option for me. I am not able to start working on K-1 Visa right now (and also, it takes longer than a Tourist Visa). For the record, we have decided that she will be coming over to attend a beauty salon workshop (she's a beautician by vocation), she knows my niece in Seattle and that she might stay with them for a few weeks after she's done with her weeklong workshop in San Francisco. How does this sound?

Your wisdom welcome!

It sounds terrible.

Although it may be 'speedier' for you, it is not only a no no, but it is visa fraud to have your GF be issued a tourist visa with the intentions of adjusting status.

Why on earth would you want to put her in that position? because it is easier for YOU?

good luck
