Moscow interview and medical

[Etkoehn 0]

So me and my fiancée are at the point of setting up a interview... I think.

Does one set the interview date first to set a medical appointment or do you set the medical before date before you can set the interview?

 

So trying to set up a interview date and it says none are available at the Moscow embassy.

How often do trey post interview dates?

 

my fiancées login was locked out for 72 hours and we cannot even check anymore. 

What did we do that caused them to lock it out? We don’t want to do that twice

Try the Russian regional forum,  interview scheduling is a topic of discussion there

Usually you set up your interview appointment and then set your medical date. At least around when our case was approved, they typically had interviews on Tuesdays and Thursdays. If your fiancee doesn't have any K-2 children and already has all her vaccinations done, then you can do your medical two days before your interview and be fine; otherwise, you may want another day. So if your fiancee can't make Moscow in a reasonable day trip, it's easier if you get a Thursday date for your interview and do the medical on Monday or Tuesday (that's what Anastasia did, since it's a 12-hour overnight train trip from her hometown to Moscow).

Unfortunately, Moscow is very unpredictable on this. They didn't have any K-1 interviews in December 2018 or March 2019, as far as I know... but managed to clear most of the backlog that had built up in late 2018 in Jan 2019, so Anastasia didn't have too much trouble getting an interview for February in mid-January.

 

If your fiancee searches on Russian-language forums, she can probably find a WhatsApp group of fiancees to join that keeps track of interview openings in Moscow ( @Lars & Sasha can also point you in the right direction there, but several exist).

I think that's caused by accessing the site too frequently, but I don't know what the rules are.

So trying to get use to this site. So I will let her know about the WhatsApp.

When they do post opening days is it usually beginning  of the month or the week? Or is it just random? And is it off of Moscow time zone?

 She has no kids and it’s an overnight train ride or a 5 hour drive to Moscow from where she lives. So if she had a Thursday interview she would need a Tuesday medical? I thought the paper work said 10-14 days before 

 Thanks for your help

So I’m not sure how to get there. I assume it’s in Russian? If so I will have to have my fiancée check it out

Why on God's green earth would you make that assumption

I didn’t know it was here on visa journey and i figured if it was russian regional it was probably in Russian. Make sense why I thought that?
