Scheduled for interview Feb 21, then received email 2 days prior cancelling it saying that due to unforseen circumstances with embassy construction or security, your interview has been rescheduled to March 13, 2007. More delays by Grand old USA government. Interview was piece of cake, she got to be let in early since she was K1(so the man outside told her), waited about hour or so then went to window gave documents then waited another hour and then man in room interviewed her, only asked two questions - "How we met" and "when do you plan to leave after you get K1". Then he told her to go to courier and pay for service and he took her passport and papers. She is fluent in English so she interviewed in English, and applied in English so it went fast. She asked them is that all, and man said yes. And she asked do I get my K1 and he smiled and said yes congratulations. She asked about getting copies of her medical records and vaccinations made, he agreed to let her but she would have to come back in again that same day and reapply that same day so she did not do this and went on, we will deal with it later in USA somehow, all that is supposed to be in that sealed brown envelope she gives to POE officer who is supposed to send on in to Chicago office so we shall see later this summer.
MARCH 13, 2007 - K1 GRANTED by Kiev Embassy at 9 am.  Received by FEDEX March 21, 2007 - Passport with K1 visa stamp and brown envelope and instructions.

Foe the interview process they are first rate. Leading up to the interview it depends upon who answers the phone. There seems to be one woman and one man that take calls in the Consulate section. The woman that answers will look things up and give you good information. But, if the man answers he is lazy, rude, and seems to just put you on hold and then come back with a negative answer. Our package arrived on Nov 13 and they sent out Packet 3 on the 16th. I kept calling and the man told me that they had not received the package. On Dec 4 as I was leaving for Kiev I was lucky and got the woman. She told me when the package had been received and that they had sent out Packet 3. I stopped and e-mailed our response to Packet 3 and 4 days later we received a message scheduling her interview. Again, their website seems to have a disconnect, in this case I was happy about it. The website said that they were scheduling interviews for mid-January yet they gave us a mid-December interview. The interview and related process was awsome. The people were GREAT! The interviewer was a little amused by some of her answers and smiled a lot at her. She was very nervous and was expecting the worst...It never happened. The interviewer said the she should receive her visa the next day. After the interview we paid their sub-contract Fed-Ex, not a real Fed-Ex trust me, and went home. That evening we called "Fed-Ex", no answer...ever! The next day we called the Consulate and suprise, the man, the one that lies, said that it would take a few weeks to issue the visa! We wnt to Fed-Ex that afternoon and, hmmm, there was her visa. She is here now and my advise would be, if the man at the Consulate answers the phone hang up and try again...Good luck to everyone.

The people at the US Embassy were wonderful. We were nervous that our paper work was not correct and would be rejected. This was all unnessary stress for the people at the embassy were wonderful. We did have some mistakes, and they helped us correct and resubmit. They were very detailed in explaining the process and whats next.
Recommendations:
1)Organize all your paperwork and visit the website to make sure you have all your documents. http://kiev.usembassy.gov/visa_iv_eng.html There were other applicants there on the day we were who had problems because they did not have all the required paper work.
2) Remember to have US$, $190 per applicant
3) Have all paper work translated, notaized and translated. We also had all paperwork apostilled. Not sure it was necessary for embassy, but will be required in the US. Then copy all the documents to give the embassy at the time of application. You need to keep originals to bring to interview as well as for records while in US.
4)Arrive early, their will be a line outside the entrance to the US Embassy, you are an American, so you are allowed to go to the head of line and wait for the green light to enter. Speak english and say "excuse me". The Ukrainians will part for you to pass. DONT WAIT IN LINE!! You maybe there a long time.
5) AGAIN visit their website, very useful of what to do and what is needed.

All things considered, I have to concur with the other members here in saying that everything went well.
Here are some things that you might want to do to in order to be better prepared....
Be sure your fiance has his/her original birth certificate with him/her at the interview. Also,
2 copies of the same birth certificate will come in handy. All of the U.S. governmental websites
& the Kiev embassy website state that only copies are needed, but there appears to be a
disconnect between the several departments. If you have copies & the original on hand at the
interview, the problem is mitigated.
Be at the embassy when it opens, as they will call all of the K applicants in first.
No liquids, gels, or sprays are allowed inside of the embassy. We had to "donate" some cosmetics
to the people waiting outside.
Make sure that your fiance has completed 2 copies of each of the following forms...DS-156, DS-156K. We did not have to file any DS-230 forms, as that form is for immigrant status.
We had to wait in the small office for about 7 hours because of some paperwork issues, so be prepared
for a long wait. Finally, we were approved!
Good Luck!
