    Hello, July filers!
     
    We had our interview today, got approved on the spot. Questions: How did you meet? Did you meet each others parents, when? Then we were asked if there's any additional bona fide evidence, but after we've submitted Citibank credit card statements (i'm an authorized user on my husband's card), medical insurance and lots of flight tickets the officer said that we are approved. 
     
    Our case is very easy, no red flags - 2 years of dating, 1 year engaged, K-1, then AOS.
     
    Green card is expected to arrive in 10-12 days.
     
    Our processing times: NOA - 1 July 29 2019, Ready - September 21 2019, EAD/AP - December 6 2019, Interview - 20 Feb 2020. Las Vegas field office.
     
    Good luck to everyone!

    Hey July Filers,
     
    Update from our side - EAD status changed to "New card is being produced", AP still says "case was received". NOA-1 July 29, 2019, so I was getting kind of impatient to hear the news on the employment authorization. 
     
    Congrats to everyone on the cases moving forward

    Helena_Siberia got a reaction from millefleur in US Embassy Moscow - Address for interview   
    Hello there,
     
    Correct address is Bolshoy Devyatinsky Lane, 8. IV and NIV visa applicants stand in the same line and then, once inside the Embassy territory, they are distributed between two separate lines - security guard helps with that.
     
    Hope it helps,

    Hello Kristina,
     
    Don't worry - this is a standard procedure. Once the Embassy is ready for you interview, you will receive an email and you will be able to see the calendar - either the dates or, in case there are no dates available, "no dates available" message.
     
    Approx 10 girls in our WhatsApp group are waiting for the calendar to be opened.
     
    And just in case I'm writing the same message in Russian:
     
    Не переживайте, так и должно быть. Когда Посольство будет готово к интервью, Вы получите письмо на email и в traveldocs откроется календарь - либо сможете выбрать дату интервью, либо будет сообщение "на данный момент нет дат". 
  17. Thanks

    Hi there,
     
    Interviews are done at Devyatinsky pereulok, 8 - that's the new building of the Embassy, attached to the old one, on Novinskiy boulevard. Both buildings are part of the big territory of US embassy, so don't worry your package will reach its destination safely.

    I will add my two cents.
     
    if you are very persistent and have access to the WhatsApp group that monitors dates your time will come.  I admit to being extremely discouraged by various roadblocks that occurred during our time hoping for an interview slot.
    kind, concerned, fellow-sufferers helped keep us informed and our spirits resolute.
    ask questions and make connections with others here on VJ. and never give up.

    Absolutely, I think it’s the best choice after weighing in all options. Im afraid to try to transfer and repay fee, then wait a month for the transition only to find that moscow has available dates. Your words just reassured me of my decision and yes, Im monitoring on the chat and I will patiently wait. 
     
    Thanks

    Hello there,
     
    Russians can transfer K-1 cases only to Kiev, Ukraine. I'm not sure about Mongolia, but I know that girls sent inquiry to Georgia and Armenia, but the US Embassies replied that they won't be able to accommodate their request.
     
    I know it's super frustrating, but the group chat helps a lot. I was waiting for the interview spot to open up for almost a month, since March 1st and then was finally able to grab one for April 23rd, all thanks to the girls in the chat. Some girls were waiting for the spot since February 12th.
     
    Transferring the case to Ukraine will take a month, so my reco is to stick with Moscow and monitor the dates with the WhatsApp chat.

    Not sure about Embassy letter (in Ukraine they don't mail anything) but it's rather early for the NVC hard copy to arrive. My NOA2 was 12/31 and the NVC letter physical copy arrived just a week before my interview which was 03/18. That is, arrived to me directly in Ukraine
