Russia, Ukraine and BelarusMedical Exam Kiev Ukraine

 

If there are no kids, then you can. That's how we are doing it. They give results the same day for adults (who get the x-ray). For kids (who get the skin test), the results will take 2-3 days, so you must come in advance.

 

Thanks, no kids, so this would be perfect.
Did you schedule the medical exam or is it on a walk in basis? I read people stating both ways.

Russia, Ukraine and BelarusMedical Exam Kiev Ukraine

Does anyone know if you can take medical one day prior to your interview?

National Visa Center (Dept of State)number for medical exam

I am not sure, but they will most likely need the KEV number if any. The payment receipt number is only needed to schedule the interview.

Also, you can call the medical center (+38-044-270-27-09) and ask them what they need for the medical.

 

 

-Keep us updated on how it goes, I will be in your situation soon. But it looks like my fiancee will not make it here before college starts on Sep 3rd :(

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion(Kyiv Embassy) Visa pickup wait time

Boiler plate answer. Usually two business days, sometimes three, sometimes the next day.

 

Alla had her interview in Kiev on a Thursday and her visa arrived in Donetsk via Fedex on Monday.  They told her 7-10 days. Sergey had his interview on a Tuesday and picked up his passport with visa at the Kiev Fedex office on Thursday.  They were using Fedex at that time. 

 

Do you know how the beneficiary is notified that the visa is ready for pick up? Will TNT be able to hold the visa for a couple of days, I don't want my fiancee to travel to Kiev twice (pick up visa, catch flight to NY). My fiancee got her approval today and we want to book her flight asap.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHow long did yours take?

Got my NOA2 on Jul 28th, still no hard copy. And status still says that it was approved, hasnt changed to "shipped to NVC". I am getting very impatient, I thought it was going to go much faster after the approval.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFrustrated with USCIS - NOA2 approved but not forwarded yet.

No I didn't get any message. My status has not changed since approval.still on post decision. I have to say though the lady at the dos was very nice said i can call every few days to check. But they say a few weeks it might be less they can't say when.

 

I just spoke to a person at NVC too. Of course, they did not receive the case yet. But since It was shipped out yesterday I assume they should have it by the end of next week.

I think you will also first receive a notice of shippment and only after that the number from NVC.

I just got off the phone from dos they said no case number yet call back again in few weeks. Noa2 approved 29th July. Well I will say this thing is takeing way too long.

 

did you get a message that your case was shipped to dos?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFrustrated with USCIS - NOA2 approved but not forwarded yet.

 

So the moment you found out your case was shipped (yesterday) they immediately gave you your case # and you paid the interview fee already?  All in 1 day huh??

 

No, I did not get the case number yet. And in Ukraine you do not need the case number to pay for the interview, the payment is valid for a year, so we paid as soon as we received our NOA2. Now, as soon as we get our NVC number we will schedule the interview and medical.

Just got a notice from USCIS, Yesterday (Aug 14) our case was shipped to NVC. NOA2 = 28 Jul  

I hope it goes quicker from now on. I already have all papers ready for my fiancee and interview fee paid.

I see. Mine has not even changed. I bet they have received it but they have not put it on the system. So when did you rebook for?

 

I didnt rebook yet, waiting for the consulate to confirm they have the case hard copy.

Hi received the letter from NVC yesterday saying case has gone to consulate. Has yours changed from in-transit yet? Mine is still in-transit I would assume its their already but because Monday was a bank holiday I guess they have not put it on the system yet. I have schedule end my medical for next week on the 5th sept. let me know how your fiancés medical went once she does it.

 

Mine changed status to READY. But when I emailed consulate they told me they only received the electronic copy of the case and no paper copy yet. So they advised me to cancel the appointment. So we will wait and keep emailing them until they get the hard copy of the case and then schedule the interview and medical again :(

Did you guys scheduled the interview appointment yourself or the consulate do that automatically?

do i really need to wait for the packet 3 or just go ahead and schedule the interview?

 

We scheduled the interview without packet 3 and we did it our self. The consulate does not do it for you in Ukraine. My fiancee received a call from the consulate because they do not have our case yet and was told that they will call her back again on Tuesday and if they still do not have the case she will have to reschedule, so I guess its ok to schedule before receiving the 3rd packet. (it could be different for other countries)

I suggest you check your country's consulate to see if you have to schedule the interview or they do it for you.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsTransfer to NVC Aug 14, received NVC case number yet?

check with them just incase you have to give more than 24 hours notice to reschedule / cancel. I know here we need to give 3 days notice or we get charged a late cancellation fee.

 

Did you pay anything upfront? because we didnt pay anything, no deposit, i dont think they can charge us anything.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsTransfer to NVC Aug 14, received NVC case number yet?

how much notice does she need to give to reschedule her medical. Here we need to give 3 days.

 

I do not know. We might be trying to reschedule a day before the medical.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsTransfer to NVC Aug 14, received NVC case number yet?

I was thinking that then I realised it is bank holiday here on Monday so probably it may not come up till Tuesday. If t comes on monday that would be great otherwise tuesday is fine then I can call and book the medical.

 

Good luck. I hope mine reaches the consulate fast, because my fiancee has her medial on wed and interview on thirsday. if  it doesnt reach consulate by tuesday they will cancel her interview, she already had a call from them.

Ok that's good news. For me I have been in transit since the 20th August now. Gd knows when mine will change from in-transit to ready.

 

Yours should probably reach the consulate on monday.

Yes, in our case, we got the approval on July 25th and got our hard copy by snail mail the week after that, then on August 15th they sent us the email that our papers were sent to the NVC...but I called today to DOS, and no news yet  sad.png

 

I still havent received anything in hard copy since NOA1. :(

Your case probably arrived at NVC with the others, it just wasn't entered into the system yet and assigned an NVC number.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsTransfer to NVC Aug 14, received NVC case number yet?

Ok when did they send yours to NVC ? I thought we both had been sent on the 19th August although am starting to think mine was sent the Friday 16th August cos I called 19th it was already there. And today the 21st it says in transit to consulate.

 

USCIS shows that the case was shipped on Aug 14th. And I received the text message on Aug 15th. And either 19th or the 20th they received it at NVC. Maybe mine will be sent out right after yours. Praying

Did your CEAC status say in transit today? Mine said in transit when I called dos I was told it will take 3 days for it to show up electronically in the consulates system. Then a week for the consulate to receive it by mail. Then packet 3 gets sent out once they receive the mail.

 

CEAC still shows at NVC. I hope it gets sent out soon. Already scheduled the interview for 29th and medical for 28th, I'd hate to reschedule.

I think I am seeing a pattern here.  Seems that many who were transferred to Texas have not received an NOA2 hardcopy and also have not been assigned an NVC case number.  I am just speculating, but it seems logical that since Texas normally does not process i-129f petitions, and only handling overflow, perhaps our cases must be first transferred back to Vermont for actual processing and sending of NOA2 hardcopy before forwarded to NVC.  Can anyone confirm or refute my theory?

 

I must disagree with you. Our case was transferred to TSC on Jul 10th, Approved on Jul 28th, transfered to NVC on Aug 14th and yesterday, Aug 20th, I got the NVC case number. I believe they transfer straight to NVC from TSC but it does not seem like they are doing it in any order. Looks like they just take random batches.

Thank you. Mine says, "at NVC" too.

 

You can use the CEAC site to check. I checked mine yesterday it said status at NVC.

In Ukraine they dont transfer the papers to consulate, they give them to you sealed and you have to bring them with you to the consulate, I have spoken to other VJ members who have done it this way.

 

Will they forward the report to the consulate within a day? Check how quick cos you don't want it to be a case where they have not received medical when she interviews

Yeah, I just hope the files are sent to the consulate fast enough now. She will do her medical a day before the interview because its an 8 hour train ride to Kiev. 

 

That's good. I am waiting for the file to leave NVC before I contact my consulate. Meanwhile I have to go do my medical. So will book that tomorrow.
things are moving along now I bet it a little less to worry about now you know case number.

I got my case number today from Dos. They said it got sent to NVC today and they gave me Amy case number. It is 3 weeks since noa2 exactly today. So you may need to try them back in another week or two.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresYes, you can visit!

Hello Guys, 

 

I was planing to visit my fiancee in Ukraine in June, but I just got a new job and cannot take any time off until November :( We haven't seen each other in 3 months now and it's very hard. 

We have filed for I129-F a month ago and are waiting for NOA2 now, I would like her to come visit me. 

 

Does anyone know the exact steps we should take to file for a visitor visa?

Should I write an invitation letter for her?

Do you think we have a chance to see each other? 

She is 19 years old, she is attending a university in Ukraine, and studying remotely at another one too(she just needs to show up for exams twice a year). She can also show her apartment rental agreement for September, proving an intent to return.

Could that be enough to show strong ties to the homeland? What else should she bring?

 

I really want to try to get the best chance on getting this visa.
