When do they begin to start FBI name check - from the time the I-130 is filed at the consulate or do they wait until after the interview?

Thanks....

Someone may correct me, but I believe it's started when the visa application is submitted (DS 230) - so after I-130 and before the interview.

As much as I understood, checks were made after the I-130 was submitted. Then, when you get email approval, you can make the interview through the Call Center. Then, after the interview and visa application, it is possible that there could be further checks. Even though they promise to mail you the visa, there could be delays, so don't make too many travel plans until you get your visa in hand.

Let us know if you have more questions about the Kyiv embassy. We completed DCF there this summer.

4/06/2007 Cancelled, via USPS letter, I-130 filed in US and made appointment to file DCF in Kyiv

4/10/2007 Filed I-130 for IR-1 visa DCF in Kyiv, Ukraine

4/25/2007 Received approval from embassy via email to make an appointment for visa interview

4/25/2007 & 4/27/2007 Tried to make an appointment but Call Center doesn't have our info yet

5/03/2007 Finally, made the visa interview appointment, first date available June 11, 2007

6/11/2007 IR-1 interview--VISA APPROVED! Should be delivered in 7-10 days

6/15/2007 Visa and brown envelope delivered

7/2/2007 POE Charlotte, NC

7/28/2007 Received the permanent resident card (green card)

Hi,

I saw you filed DCF in Kyiv. I was just told by USCIS to file there and I'm not 100% sure of the process. How should I go about submitting the I-130? Do I need to call the "Call Center" for an appointment?

Thanks so much

we did this 3 years ago and it is possible that the process has changed. it would be best if you read US Embassy's (Kyiv) website for the most current instructions. they have it outlined there step by step.
