The US paperwork side was very clear and relatively easy - we heavily front loaded the I-129F application. The Kiev Embassy side was difficult to follow as to exactly what forms needed to be filled with what information, what documentation needed to be collected and presented etc. Simple things like finding the main TMM building in Kiev to collect the passports was difficult as 3 taxi drivers did not know where it was, even though we gave them the address! Processing Estimates/Stats : Your I-129f was approved in 87 days from your NOA1 date. Your interview took 133 days from your I-129F NOA1 date.

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
