, but with her suicide attempt being so recent, will she be inadmissible, or is there something that we can do in order to get her interview and visa approved?

I have never read anything about past suicide attempts making beneficiary inadmissible. As to the second part of the question, just follow the normal process and as someone said above, provide requested information accurately and truthfully.  On a side note, I hope you realize the gravity of this kind of behavior. I see people who attempt suicide and who engage in self mutilation frequently. These behaviors can be expected to be a life long pattern, so I hope you realize the consequences of marrying someone with mental illness.

Hey any update on your case?
I heard some couples say the officers ask if they want the interview to be in English or Russian. Or if they need a Russian interpreter. I can't confirm this. That's just what I heard.

Almost all couples are getting their Schengen through Greece. Read my previous post.

And all I know is that it's a long process and there is a lot of waiting to do 😪

We scheduled the interview in Warsaw for the end of October.

Once the Consulate in Poland agreed to take our case, it was a matter of weeks before everything moved and got approved.

Yes, my fiance is planning to get the Schengen through Greece and do a medical in Poland instead of Belarus.

She will need to find an interpreter or maybe I can fly to be at the interview, we haven't figured that plan out yet. I hear the embassy doesn't offer interviews in Russian officially, but there were few exceptions.

Update,

just received an e-mail from Warsaw Embassy that they approved our petition to transfer the case from Moscow to Warsaw.

The state that if we want to cancel the transfer process, to e-mail that request to a provided e-mail address within two business days.

We are most likely staying with this transfer opportunity, however, I have several questions that I would hope to get some feedback for from the knowledgeable people here.

1. My fiancee, beneficiary, doesn't speak English enough to feel confident to use it during the interview. What are the options? Is it likely there will be a Russian speaking counsel at the embassy, do they allow to hire a translator, or could I attend the interview with her? I wish I could get clarification on this question before the end of this 2 days response time.

2. How can my fiancee travel to Poland if Russian citizens are required to obtain a Schengen Visa, and that is not even a guarantee. Furthermore, I heard some people claim an entrance is possible through Greece (also Schengen country). Is it concievable that Polish embassy can approve Schengen visa specifically to attend an interview at US Consulate in Warsaw?

3.  We have also submitted an expedited processing request through NVC inquiry and NVCexpedite, based on my Covid-related work being in National Interest. However, we haven't hear back. We submitted it on April 24 and were given 15 business days to hear back, but we haven't. in 20 day, we submitted a second expedite inquiry, and the auto-response was 30 days to wait for processing. So, how likely is it that by accepting the transfer of the K 1 application to Poland, we would lose an opportunity to be approved an expedite request, which could possibly come any day...?

Thank you,

Michael. Initial K1 filed in March 2020, NOA2 received in Oct 2020.

We just emailed asking to transfer based on the fact that Moscow is closed. We got quick response.

That's great to hear.

-What status was your K1 process in? Were you already contacted by Moscow Consulate for the interview (that's NOA2)?

Reason I ask is that our I129F was approved in October 2020 and even though I already have NVC's case number and Invoice ID, I haven't ever received any communication from NVC. Another question, did you guys fill out the DS160 before hearing back from NVC? We haven't filled out out yet and are unclear if we should at this point.

Not sure how back logged Armenian Embassy is in Yerevan. I would look at their website and if not helpful, call them or e-mail them.

Our embassy in Moscow seems to be in far worse shape. Good luck.

We are in the same situation.

Did the Consulate in Poland ask for criteria for transfer eligibility, e.g. residing or having been born in Poland?

Or was the basis for transfer request entirely the fact that the Moscow Embassy is understaffed and stopped services?

Thank you in advance.
