I received this email notification this morning from the embassy in Moscow:

We've received the case and scheduled his visa interview for March 7, at 8 am.

I read all of this. Different question, we have significant evidence of realtionship, over last two years 12 or more trips together , three russian visa's for me(wish her's was so easy to get)rented house and apartment, tickets, passports, letters from her parents and grandparents, and now we are 7 months pregnant, and almost 5 months into visa process. 129F. we cant get married or the process starts over again, and are scared the visa wont come before birth in russia. reading here on VJ about some medical issues and the way fathers are treated in russia makes the thought of birth there less than appealing.

anyone ever not been approved because paternity gets questioned at interview?

Yes, we are married and have a marriage certificate. We married on my 3rd trip to Vietnam. By the way, a trip to Vietnam is about 30 hours long from the place I live and I've made 5 trips. I've spent much energy and effort trying to get my wife and son to unite with me. During the past 2 years I've tried almost everything to make this happen.

I didn't know that people are so negative in here. Maybe I wanted to write a quick post and didn't word it correctly. All I wanted to know from people who have experienced this was how much did having a baby factor in on the final decision ? I specifically appreciate your post, kalina.

I would appreciate if people would read the whole thread before posting anything.

Yellow, then why did you apply for a K1 through filing a I-129f if you are already married? K1 is for fiance, meaning, not married yet.

Saludos,

Caro

just wanted to jump in and say that we are really close in the timeline, and I'm in USA, and Anna is in Moscow. We are impatiently waiting. also, we are expecting in march and hoping that we can get her here before birth. any chances that delivery date will effect interview date???? I called NVC Monday and was told electronic files have been in moscow since the 13th, and that "whenever" the physical files will show up????? Then interview date will get set. We already have police stuff done. I was just in moscow a few weeks ago, and wanted to go back then end of the month, but have put it off thinking that soon she will be getting interview,and visa and I will be going there to help with move. seems one of us could have taken the files to moscow faster and delivered to embassy<G>.

Just to let everyone know, i called again to the USCIS today and they again told me that some go directly to consulate. two different people telling me same thing. when i arrive at the mail box, there was a letter from NVC telling me it was off to consulate, and issuing us our MOS#. I really like this site, and as soon as I can catch up, I will fill in our history and story. thanks for all the pointers. I hope we are close to getting this precious visa.

It won't skip NVC. They will assign a Case Number to your petition and forward it to the Consulate.

Happened to us too, though. Daniel called the USCIS and the lady told him that K1 petitions do not go to NVC, they are sent to the Consulates directly. Daniel then called the NVC just to be sure and the lady he spoke to told him that they do come to NVC. In fact, she used to work for the department at the NVC dealing with K1 petitions and was very helpful and answered all his questions patiently.

So much for the (Mis)Informed Operators

Is this possible or did I miss something. I'm new here, filed in end of July, recieved NOA1 Aug 8, NOA2 Dec 8. instructions on it said approved sent to consulate. No consulate listed on form, so I called USCIS, they said it went directly to consulate and not NVC. anyone else ever hear of this? Person on phone said some do not need to go there and go directly to consulate of country where fiance is( this case russia) it does not sound like path that i have been reading here? thoughts????
