Russia, Ukraine and BelarusQuestion about shipping papers to Russia

Go to the interview and bring what you have and the printed copies of what you don't have. You may get by, or they may tell you that final approval will have to wait until the documents are sent to them. I'm thinking they may want the original I-134.

We had a similar problem with a police certificate that had not arrived. We did have a faxed copy of the certificate but not the original. The embassy accepted the faxed copy and approved the visa without sending the original.



Thank you so much for the advice. Of course I asked Jason to email me copies of his financial documents, but unfortunately he HAS NO copies of them. He just sent me the originals and they stock in Moscow. As for me, I have at least 3 copies of each document. Moreover, I always keep copies of important documents online, on my email account. I was very worried about that. I had to go to the interview with what I have. The officer didn't seem to be angry about that, she just told me to mail the papers any time. I felt soooo relived. Now the package is in Samara, but it's still not delivered to me.

By the way, how long it could take to review our case one more time and approve the visa?

Tell him to resend everything via FedEx Overnight. Pay the money. Have it held in Moscow for your pickup.

They will not resked the interview just not give you final approval pending sending in those documents. No denial because of that also. Bringing copies may work and it may not. I'd do it just in case.

Why did he wait so long?



It took so long because we were waiting for the letter with the instructions and forms from the Embassy or at least email. We sent the petition in the end of May and I never got anything from USCIS or NVC or US Embassy on my mail or email. We didn't know that they could schedule me for the interview without noticing somehow. So when we finally called it was a little too late.

Please help me! I don't know if anyone had situation like mine though.
I'm scheduled for the interview on the 2nd of September. So it's going to be in 2 days from now. All the documents are ready EXCEPT my fiancée's papers (I 134, w2 et?.) Unfortunately he sent it by USPS. The package is already in Moscow, but it's not going to be delivered to Samara, where I live, by the 2nd of September. I'm in panic...
What happens at the interview in such cases? Will they schedule me for another interview? Will we be denied? What if I bring printed copies of those papers?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHow soon can we start the I-130?

why dont you ask a user name Sachinky what she would do... I believe that she was in a similar situation as you, and she choose to go back to her country, mary and then file an I-130 and I know that she use to complain that she shouldnt of done that... that she should of married in the us and then just filed and AOS... that way you wouldnt have to be apart...


I fully agree with you... Being apart is such a torture for me and my fiancé... But we don't give up.
This is what Jason (fiancé) says about that: "Don’t feel bad about our situation, Love. Instead feel bad for ordinary couples that never get the chance to realize how important their love is. We will be an extraordinary couple. A couple that will always remember the pain our hearts endured in order to be happy."
