Hello, who doesn't know Russian. I have question. People who already sent docs to the embassy about permanent green card prabably will be able to answer this question. What about timeline? I heard it became 6-7 months for California. Maybe somebody knows something about it? Thank you for future answer. Yes california is running 5 to 6 months or more and Vermont couple months slower. But you get a 1 year extension letter in case you need to travel, or need for work.	jimnlena	Male	Ukraine	2012-06-13 03:55:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Rules for Ukraine	Only new thing I have seen is that all birth certificates, and passports are required since Feb to be in Ukranian language. But just at renewal time. So beware of red flag.	jimnlena	Male	Ukraine	2012-06-19 05:47:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Wife gets her AP and recomended for approval.	Congrats!!	jimnlena	Male	Ukraine	2012-07-02 10:05:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	med exam	tks for reply some reason thought there was vaccination requirements for aos in the states maybe for other country besides ukraine? Definately read required immunizations, she can get the visa and still be required to get an extra or 2 here! At 100 + a pop.	jimnlena	Male	Ukraine	2012-07-02 10:04:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Our daughter is here! (well, was here in June)	BIG CONGRATULATIONS!! That was one well kept secret!!	jimnlena	Male	Ukraine	2012-08-05 10:30:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Did you buy a ticket for you and/or your S/O in advance?	Yes I forget how she puts it something about "energy and universe" I'm surprised anyone's RUB wife let them buy the ticket early. "You must not make ticket because I will be go interview first."	jimnlena	Male	Ukraine	2012-08-18 09:17:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Did you buy a ticket for you and/or your S/O in advance?	Our approval was months ahead of when we were expecting so we waited a month or so after visa approval to buy tickets, as she was going to wait until after christmas to come anyway. Of course as a side note we would really like that quickness now as we try to get her daughter here in time for start of school year Edited by jimnlena, 26 July 2012 - 08:56 PM.	jimnlena	Male	Ukraine	2012-07-26 20:55:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Sole Custody	It is not the cost so much as the futility, unless he is in jail you will NOT GET sole custody!! I can relate! It has taken almost 2 years but he finally consented, thus the timeline. Does anyone know how difficult is it to obtain a sole custody in Ukraine? My fiancee has a son and the biological father doesn't care, but he doesn't like his ex wife. Getting him to sign a release will most likely not be possible. I heard that getting sole custody in Ukraine is almost impossible. The baby was born just few months ago, so he had no time to neglect his son yet, but he has not seen him once. Did anyone went through something like that?	jimnlena	Male	Ukraine	2012-08-15 19:25:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	interview time line	It is August 21 and you have no NOA2. I will say it if no one else will. There is no possible way in hell you will get an interview before mid October at this time and that is if the NOA2 comes tomorrow. Given current timelines I doubt she will be here for Christmas (Orthodox Christmas) and I will leave it to someone else to blow sunshine up your @ss. Figure 2 months, NOA2 to interview. Could be longer. AP at NVC could tie you up for 4-8 weeks alone. For us it was three months NOA2 to Interview and that was with NO delays. If you want to visit, then go visit and have fun. Do not attempt to make a plan to attend an interview until you have the interview date. No matter what some moron lawyer told you, there is no way to guess at this stuff. Also it is possible to have AP after interview, 1 couple few months back got tied up for 4 months by AP after her interview! Do not make any plans till you have visa in hand!	jimnlena	Male	Ukraine	2012-08-22 11:43:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Travel Doc not accepted by NVC	We sent BIO page of her Ukraine travel doc to NVC she is 14 and they sent us RFE for passport BIO page. Ukraine does not not require pasport till 18, will we have to try and expedite one? Any help appreciated of course.	jimnlena	Male	Ukraine	2012-09-06 08:26:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	I am lost and angry	Congratulations!! always good to finally get approval!	jimnlena	Male	Ukraine	2012-08-19 10:21:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	PIN number not needed at Ukraine after Sept.20,2012	I was under the impression that NVC automatically set our interview dates?? At least with I-130 filing. Did I miss something?	jimnlena	Male	Ukraine	2012-09-13 10:21:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	CR1 Interview 11 Oct, Kyiv Embassy	Congrats!! You did mean case complete 28th correct? Hopefully we are right behind you!	jimnlena	Male	Ukraine	2012-09-15 17:20:00

Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	uscis/ embassy emails	The system is not infallible, somehow we recieved every one of our emails and texts but many folks never recieve any. What can you say it is a goverment operation!	jimnlena	Male	Ukraine	2012-10-10 10:12:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Wife's interview	I imagine it is a slight help to be there for interview. I did not go and lena had no problems. As long as paper work is in order there should be no problems! If money is somewhat tight probably better hold back, as there are many expense's comming up after she arrives!! "I think cheapest part of process was the visa approval!" Good Luck!!	jimnlena	Male	Ukraine	2012-11-12 10:41:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	1st rule: You do not talk about baby (until born).	Big Congrats!!	jimnlena	Male	Ukraine	2012-11-19 15:42:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	leaving country	An issue we had last summer with Lena was a lay over in Warsaw, and without a Polish visa they would not allow her out of the airport! So if planing on getting a hotel make sure you get visa for country!! Edited by jimnlena, 16 April 2012 - 01:22 PM.	jimnlena	Male	Ukraine	2012-04-16 13:21:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Interview in Kiev	Good Luck!! Everything should be ok!! Though I thought you had approval ahead of us?? Why was interview so far out?? Anyway make sure they have original birth certificates! Seems interviewer's are requesting them all the time. Also they wanted original permission info from father if you are required to have! Again not to worry interview is usually the easiest part!!! Edited by jimnlena, 26 November 2012 - 08:27 PM.	jimnlena	Male	Ukraine	2012-11-26 20:26:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Sending paperwork to Ukraine	We have always used USPS and had no issues at all, other than can be very slow at times.	jimnlena	Male	Ukraine	2013-01-02 15:08:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Shipping from Ukraine	Yes MEEST has always been good way for us to ship also. Does this mean she finally got approval??	jimnlena	Male	Ukraine	2013-02-13 12:59:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	AP Ukraine PLEASE HELP	As long as they have the passport everything should be ok. However time is of no concern to the powers that be.	jimnlena	Male	Ukraine	2013-06-24 13:22:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Best way to meet a Ukrainian/Russian (and cheapest)	Well meeting Lena was total accident I was surfing and found a little free site called datingnmore. I am security engineer so there claim of scam free got my attention. Within a couple days I saw photo and the rest is history! No expense till trip to Ukraine and then USCIS.	jimnlena	Male	Ukraine	2011-04-08 10:53:00

National Visa Center (Dept of State)	AP at NVC took only 5 days	Congrats on your short stay!! It was 2 weeks for us from time left nvc till we could make appointment. The operator told lena 28th was 1st available, but she did not ask for anything sooner, maybe they hold slots for whatever emergency. Hope that gives yu a bit of an idea! Rumor has it that medical and consulate are closed certain days because of slow number of fiance visa's? But ?? Good Luck!! There seems to be obstacles everywhere in this process!!	jimnlena	Male	Ukraine	2009-10-14 21:11:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)	Held For Additional Processing	They seem to have a name check list, ans sometimes just random checks. AP seems to be anywhere from 3 days to 4 or 5 weeks. It is basically another immigration mystery!	jimnlena	Male	Ukraine	2009-11-06 20:45:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)	Ds-3032	I wouls re-email and overnight another copy, also call the NVC, because you should already have a response! Did you track whether or not they even recieved it?	jimnlena	Male	Ukraine	2012-08-19 07:56:00

National Visa Center (Dept of State)	For those people waiting for November Interview Dates	Congrats to your approval, and my step daughters interview was approved today!! Hopefully all will have smooth interviews! Interview was today and visa approved! Luckily was able to move interview date up. Will post embassy review later today. But quick comments about the questions. They started the questioning by asking two odd ones: What's something your wife would like to change about herself? If I asked her what would she say? and How do you think you'll adjust to life in the US? Followed by the typical where did you meet, get married, where are her parents from/living, etc. Also, take copies of what you have submitted, husband got quite a scare from them when they asked for my 2011 tax return (he took copies of everything) and medical exam (he had copies of vaccination record from doctor) when he arrived at embassy. By interview time they had found the medical exam file and said they didn't need the tax returns. Good luck everyone!	jimnlena	Male	Ukraine	2012-11-02 09:15:00
