Does anyone know how long it takes for the passport to be available for pick up after the interview in Frankfurt? Does anyone have an experience of the interview (Ukrainians seeking an immigrant visa) to share?

Thanks! It's not exactly what it used to look, but lets hope it will be sufficient. Did you interpret it? Or will Ukrainian work?

Wow! That's great, can you please share where? Is this through the phone app "Dia"? Or in person? Which region of Ukraine? Thank you!

Thank you very much for sharing! Good luck to you as well!

Hi, I've read the same information as above, that you can do it in any European country. Quick question, do you mind sharing how you applied for the NVC expedite and how long did the process take you? We just submitted all the documents to them and are looking for the ways to expedite cause 3-4 months wait does not look appealing

Thank you! Did anyone happen to inquire, would the interview in Frankfurt be in English/German only, or do they have staff present from Ukrainian embassy and Ukrainian/Russian would be available? Thanks!

What is the typical timeline for F2a after USCIS approval? The child was approved at 20 yr 5 mon in Mar 2022, I am not sure but it seems like the F2a processing is current. The petition is now at NVC. The "ceac" website allows me to pay for DS-260 only, not for Affidavit. It shows this message: Due to the numerical limitations on immigrant visa issuance prescribed by law, this petition is not eligible for further processing at this time. The National Visa Center (NVC) will retain the petition until an immigrant visa becomes available. The NVC will notify the petitioner, principal applicant, or attorney of record when this petition is eligible for further processing. The principal applicant should not make any firm plans such as disposing of property, giving up jobs, or making travel arrangements at this time. What does this mean? How do I proceed? How do I make sure she does not age out?

Yes but the one expedited was F2a by one of the parents.

? If you mean what basis, it was expedited due to war.

My sister was approved today after Expedite request was sent on Mon. My mom's case is pending at NVC at well. Not sure what to expect next with the petition being at NVC, where should we go form there. Questions: 1. Police clearance: The police office is closed for over 10 days now. How can we obtain it? Can we apply without one and how? 2. Embassy: Not sure where it will be transferred.

The Consulate will be in position to issue respective document after the required data has been received from Ukraine's competent authorities. https://ny.mfa.gov.ua/en/consular-issues/criminal-record-certificate-ukraine

Same for me. They mentioned most case get a decision in 45 days. Please let us know once you hear on the decision. Also any ideas for the police certificates for them? Everything is closed in Ukraine

It's "Дія" in Ukrainian. I don't have the link, but I believe it's an app..

Thanks for your reply! Please keep us updated, good luck to you and safety to your family!

Well I am not sure how to proceed either, maybe it makes sense to kind of attach a note explaining the lack of it during the NVC application to go through and then since you'd have to go to the other country for the medical and IV, maybe request it there through the embassy as well.. That's the only thing I can think of right now..
