Please keep us all updated. Good luck and I hope you can make it through with absolutely no problems

Thank you. Definitely please keep us updated. There have been recent Russian citizens on this forum flying from a Schengen country successfully to Poland to interview in Warsaw

Yep. Will keep everyone posted as it unfolds

I understand

That is very helpful. Thank you. When you applied for the Italian visa, did you need to specify dates and already have travel arrangements made as evidence?

Yes please if you can help direct me that would be fantastic. Thank you so much and I really appreciate it

No updates from my end. Still waiting on noa2

Do you know of any Russian citizens who have gotten a Schengen Visa recently (to any Schengen country)? I would like to touch base with them and find out about details, specifically what is the maximum length of time the Visa would be valid for that a Russian citizen can reasonably expect to get.

You are correct, you would need to fly to another country first like Turkey or Dubai for example then go to Schengen country where visa approved, then fly to Warsaw

NOA1 2.7.22. NOA2 expected March 2023 (currently California is 13.5 months processing 80% of applications)

I agree with you. Changing consulate location is our plan B. Anecdotally I've heard this is difficult. Our plan a is to get a Schengen Visa in any Schengen country , fly to that country and then go from there to Warsaw for the interview

Hi all. We plan to go to the Warsaw, Poland US Embassy for a K1 interview once called. For Russian citizens, it looks like the most likely chance of success getting to Warsaw is getting a Schengen visa to another Schengen country and then flying from there to Poland. Has any Russian citizen recently been approved for a Schengen visa and could share your experience? Ideally we would want a tourist visa with as many entries and as long as possible and I anecdotally know of some Who Have Been to Spain and Greece and Italy recently but don't know the details of how long their visas are good for. Thank you for your thoughts and experiences.

Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

Ahhh understand. You are saying try to get a Schengen visa in another member state and then go from there to Poland, correct?

Also, re Powerpuff, Poland is not currently accepting visas from Russian citizens unless for humanitarian cases or a family member of a Polish citizen. Currently, it is very restrictive. I communicated by email with people from Polish Schengen visa applications.
