Liliya says that the Consul didn't even bother to ask my name! She said that the Consul had our entire file on our desk. She swore an oath to tell the truth. Questions he asked: How did we meet? When she arrives is the US, does she agree to live with me? What was the name of the city I live in? That was it! Visa approved! Liliya felt that visa decisions were pretty much decided before the interview, and that the interview was nothing more than a formality. She felt the ease of her approval was because our petition was 100% complete and well prepared. She also told me that some of the women did not have it as easy as her, as many more questions were asked. SIDE NOTE: Her visa is scheduled to arrive back to her Feb. 7, 2019. That is exactly 14 days from the interview! Yes, she lives in Siberia where mail appears to be delivered by ox cart, a little slower than most other Russian areas. The point is, allow yourselves ample time before scheduling any plane trips to the US.

It seems that Russian police reports contain things which happened when you were under 18 years of age. For example, a driving accident even if it's NOT alcohol related and you never went to court, and the interviewer can and may ask you about it. Just be honest.

My interview was scheduled for 8:15 am and we arrived at 7:45 am. Interviews are now in the new building which is in the side street behind the former main building facing the large street. I had written previously and confirmed that I can have my fiancee with me. The guard outside took our passports and checked them. Then we went through and went into the immigration visa line. This took a while, around an hour, so if its winter, dress warm. After, we went inside and were given a number. There were 20 tickets before us. We waited about 2 hours and then a russian employee took my main documents, she was VERY nice. Super polite and even photocopied my passport for me when i realized i didnt have a copy. Then I sat back down and waited 20 more minutes and was called to have my interview. The consular officer was very nice, asked me about 2 questions, how we met and when the relationship started, was polite, in a good mood. He asked my fiance a question about his kids and asked a confirmi... read complete review

All of the information that was asked for was not reviewed. Only Birth certificate, Divorce certificate, and Marriage certificate to my US husband. The interviewer questioned the US marriage certificate because it was a copy with original signatures. The document was authenticated and ultimately accepted only because of the original signatures and the Apostille certification.

We arrived around 8 am to the US Embassy in Moscow (30 minutes before the appointment). After that, the security guard checked our passports and allowed us to enter the next section (the beneficiary's and the petitioner's. They will allow the petitioner to attend.) The next section is also outside the embassy. There is a window where they asked us for the confirmation of returning the passport via Pony Express. Then, they allowed us to enter the embassy itself. We passed the second security zone, airport-style.
Once already inside the embassy, we did the line for immigration cases and they reviewed the required documents: Birth Certificate, Marriage Certificate, Photos, Tax Returns, etc. and took my husband's fingerprints. We took a seat again and waited to be called to the interview itself.
When our turn came, the consular officer asked my husband to swear to say the truth and started to ask questions. We were asked about how and when did we meet, what he studied, where... read complete review
