Almaty consular review

*As a preface - please note that these observations are from the one and only set of interactions we had with the U. S. Consulate in Almaty. They can be taken as advice or counsel at your discretion. Do your own research – be prepared as directed by official documents and communications and you can’t go wrong.

**If you want to read only about the experience at the consulate in Almaty – skip ahead to the end of the report

Overview – if you’re interested in our timeline – look for yourself – I won’t duplicate all of it here – just the points that are salient to the report.

Suffice it to say that we began the CR-1/2 process at what looks to be the absolute worst time re: processing. In other words, processing seems to be happening more quickly but now for anyone who has been at this for a while – there is really no way to predict how quickly or slowly a case may progress.

Review Topic: K1 Visa

On January 27, 2022, I had my K-1 visa interview at the U.S. Consulate in Almaty, Kazakhstan. My visa was approved.

I decided to write a long and detailed review since there aren’t many detailed reviews of the Consulate General in Almaty especially during these unprecedented times. I hope this is informative and soothing to those who are as anxious before their interview as I was. This review will be split into a few parts below. Please skip to the part that interests you.

1. NOA2 to NVC to Consulate
2. Scheduling a K-1 appointment
3. Medical exam appointment
4. Interview canceled by the Consulate
5. Interview rescheduled by the Consulate
6. Interview day
7. CDC proof of vaccination requirement
8. Visa received

1. NOA2 to the NVC to the Consulate
On October 1, 2021 my USCIS status updated to “your I-129F petition was approved.” In a week, we received the physical copy of... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

My interview was at 8:00 AM, they let me in about 15 min before that. You have to leave your purse at the security and leave anything that is electronic (phone, USBs, CDs, etc.) Also, you can't bring backpacks and laptops.

First, a local lady asked for a list of documents and she also asked questions like "were you married before?". Then I sat back down and was called about 30 min later by a Consul. He was quite nice. I was asked a lot of questions, mainly about my relationship with my fiance. All in all, the interview was about 10-15 min long. In the end, he said my visa was approved and wished me good luck :-)
