yes I agree, i reached out to my lawyers and my state representative explaining the situation to try and explain we are not embassy shopping we just literally can not get to the appointment.

Poland no longer gives out Schengens for Russians for obvious reasons. So you have to enter via another Schengen Country. She applied for a Greek one and was accepted the first time. You have to stay more days in the country that issued you the visa. So we stayed 10 days in Greece and then we were gonna go to Poland. In the first application, we told them this and that we planned to spend some days in Poland as well as the reason.

Hello all, I am in a bit of a situation with my fiance and her K1 interview. She is a Russian foreign national who was originally scheduled to have her K1 interview in Warsaw Poland on August 26th. Her Schengen visa was approved from Greece originally to cover the date. However, when she went to her medical exam they forced her to return on August 27th for further inquiry into her medical history ( which in my opinion, was complete <DELETED>but thats another story). We got her interview date in Warsaw switched and then she went back to Moscow to reapply for a new Schengen visa once her old visa expired. She reapplied on September 1st and on September 6th she was denied this time, despite having the exact same application as before. The only difference is she doesnt work anymore because she quit her job to leave the country. She had more money in her bank account than the first time and i used myself as a supporter of funds as well. We had a cover letter also that explained our situation and why she didnt have a job compared to last time. Also, we of course had all of our flights and hotels mapped out to where we were staying and we stayed more days in Greece than Poland as well. We also, just like the first time had a flight showing us leaving Europe. We are utterly devastated because now she cant get to Warsaw. Is there any advice you guys could give me in what we should do? My lawyers are now trying to get the case moved to another embassy but I doubt this will work. Has anybody had any success? I have yet again called my senators office to see if there is something that they could do.

Update. the embassy emailed me explaining what happened. basically she tested positive but they recognized that she is on medication. She speaks English usually pretty well but in a panic and stressful environment her English degrades. By “go away” meant that they see her medication can cause false positives and therefore after they do some further investigating they can change it from positive to clean. a narcologist is not a thing, this is something she said because it is a mistranslation in her head from Russian to English. This person is just a panel physician. basically she has to go back and just go under further scrunity over it.

I misspoke. I meant to say pharmacologist/ physician who was doing the drug test at the clinic. I realize that’s not the correct word at all

yes that is the title, my mistake. It was the individual who oversaw drugs as well as medications

The cat scratches are pretty deep. We were in Serbia when the main one happened, where she was cut so deep it required stitches, so while I understand cat scratches sound suspicious, this scar is very noticeable. I completely agree, it sounds strange, and this might sound stupid but yes I do think so. This is a person who has never smoked weed, done drugs or even drinks alcohol at all. In my 4 years of knowing her I have never seen her ever drink, smoke or do any type of drug. A narcologist is somebody who specializes in drugs and was brought in because she had a positive test. I agree it is deeply worrying and fishy, this is why I contacted my senator. I understand this might all seem very suspicious and I dont blame you, but I absolutely believe she is telling the truth. Also, this was the clinic in Moscow where they do medical exams. It is the one listed on the US state department website as a accredited place.

Hello. My fiance went to her medical exam in Moscow for her interview for a K1 Visa in Warsaw Poland. Upon the interview, everything went well until they ordered a drug test because they labeled her scratches on her arm caused by her cat as 'evidence of mental health'. Upon the drug test, she tested positive for MDMA. She does not do drugs nor has she ever done drugs in her life. However, she is on a bunch of medication including mebeverine for her stomach, which has been shown sometimes to cause false positives for MDMA. Upon her showing them her medication as well as evidence that this prescription can read positive for MDMA, the doctor waived his hand in her face and told her he will not bother looking at the report and that 'its nonsense' such a drug can cause this, despite attempting to show him peer-reviewed science and medical articles describing that this drug causes false positives for MDMA, including from the National Institute of Health ( a federal funded american medical agency). the next morning at 6, she went down to a narcologist and took a test again showing that she was completely clean. However, the clinic refused anything. That day, the clinic called her and said that htey could make this drug test go away but the head narcologist has to return from her vacation on august 26th to change it and then would be able to email it over to warsaw poland. THey mentioned she wont have to be here for this in person. However, the next day when she called, they said that actually yes, she will need to be in moscow during this and that the process will take two weeks instead. When she mentioned she would miss her scheduled appointment and thus have the schenghen also run out they basically said they didn't care. Does this sound like strange behavior from a medical clinic to jerk us around like this? I got my lawyer involved to try and inquiry into the embassy in poland to see if they can do anything about it. What else should we do? She is not a drug user and never has been, and to be labeled as one and barred for a year because a physician has never heard of a drug and yet refused to even look at evidence contradicting what he declared is so crazy. I dont know if it helps, but I also got my state senator invovled although i dont know what else they can do. has anybody ever dealt with like this before??
