US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	medical in ukraine	well, medical system in Ukraine is not bad is not good. We don't have medical insurance like you have here in the USA. But still you have to pay for some service. All depends who a doctor is. Even private hospitals sometimes have not experienced [skilled] doctors. There are many hospitals in Ukraine everywhere( state or private ). What region?	Joe & Nadya	Male	Ukraine	2009-12-20 14:22:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	proof of relationship	QUOTE (Gary and Alla @ Dec 22 2009, 09:27 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Anything submitted as evidence must be in English or with an English translation.

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Vietnam and Ukrainian Police Certs	She needs two police records. If she lived over 6 months in a foreign country she needs one and one Ukrainian police record. It doesn't matter where she lived or lives in Ukraine, she will be given one police record. About Vietman police record, I think she needs to call to Vietnam Embassy in Ukraine.

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	E-mail address for Kiev Embassy	Hi all, Does any one have an e-mail address for the embassy in Kiev? I need to ask them about how many police certificates are needed from Vietnam. A cert from each district lived in in Vietnam or just from the last district lived in. All help will be appreciated. Steve http://kyiv.usembass...ctinfo_eng.html I think better is to call them. You will get answer quicker and can ask more interested questions.	Joe & Nadya	Male	Ukraine	2010-01-05 22:19:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Interview today visa?	Hello every one, today my fiancee have her interview today at the Kiev embassy, the CO told her she will get a visa but she need it to take back to the embassy more proof of our relationship like more e-mails and IM records or Skype records. she got the pink slip and they kept her passport. she took took back to the embassy more than 100 more e-mails and Skype chat records of us, and gave it to the security guard. Now we are wondering if she is going to get her visa or not? any insights? Thanks in advance. Jo and Sveta. A pink slip in Kiev usually means that the visa has been approved, though they could still request for more proof (as you stated in your post). Just make sure the guard has in fact handed the package over to the CO. Keep us posted.	Joe & Nadya	Male	Ukraine	2010-02-16 11:02:00

US Citizenship General Discussion	What are my chances?	QUOTE (mendoi @ Apr 24 2009, 09:09 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm Canadian. As much as I regret this, I got married and sponsored him to Canada from China. This was primarily because of pressure from family and etc., there wasn't really anything there between us.... But regardless.. a divorce is currently pending. In the midst of all this, sigh I met someone from the States and we want to have a married life together after this whole divorce is all over and done with. But because of my past, that obviously doesn't look good. What are my chances of being sponsored to the States in the future? As far as I know, that shouldn't be a problem for your USC fiance to bring you to the US as long as you get a divorce first. Edited by Joe & Nadya, 24 April 2009 - 08:16 PM.

I feel bad for anyone caught up in this, is this something we can all look forward to in the future? I mean, I don't understand. A year ago VSC was by far ahead of CSC in processing petitions, the the trend reversed, the VSC starts to get caught up again and now this. I have only been on this site a year or so but it seems there is some sort of chronic malady with the system, there just doesn't seem to be a seamless and well run operation and there should be, I mean this isn't rocket surgery!

National Visa Center (Dept of State)	...within a week... letter from NVC	QUOTE (lenaandbilly @ Sep 16 2009, 12:20 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've read several things on VJ concerning this apparent form letter that often gets sent out from NVC concerning K-1 visa petitions and now I'm wondering what typically happens after this letter. As for myself, I received this letter (that states "...within a week the petition will be forwarded to the appropriate visa-issuing post...") dated the 8th of September and as of today, one week later, it still hasn't left NVC. I was also told today that our petition is undergoing "additional processing." I read one post that says your petition will be received at the embassy (in this particular post they were talking about Kiev/Kyiv) within 2-3 weeks after this "forwarding" letter. I'm hoping this is accurate. Actually I was hoping for a shorter stay at NVC but I guess I shouldn't complain about that if it does indeed happen as I have read that often it is much worse than 2-3 weeks. In case anyone else is curious about what is really happening after this letter from NVC, I thought maybe those of us that have received it could list the date the letter was received and then the dates of any significant occurences after receiving the letter--hopfeully the day it leaves NVC and or the day it arrives at the embassy. This can either help to ease our minds or to give us more reason to worry, but either way it would be nice to know what is really happening. Forwarding letter dated: Sept 08, 2009 Date petition left NVC/number of days after letter: */* days P.S. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to participate. We had similar situation..

So, if NVC tells you that you are in AP there is no reason to panic. I guess the next step is to wait 2 -3 weeks for Kiev to put my case in the system before I can call them so we can get the interview right?? Also once they have the case in the system how long do we have to wait for an Interview??? That's great, isn't it?!? Congrats! Yes, right.. it takes 2-3 weeks from NVC to put your case into the system. As soon as they do it you can call to the call center and make an appoitment. When you call to the call center, first they will tell you the nearest avaliable day and if you don't like or don't need or whatever, you can say what day would be the best for you, except Ukrainian, American holidays and Fridays.

NVC closed the May interviews yesterday so maybe this happened in our favor seeing as how we can still get a May interview and possibly flip our K3 to a CR1 interview ...Still keeping the faith For those of u still stuck in AP, I wish u lots of luck and hope u too are out soon. I know how frustrating it is when ur hands are tied. My Congratulations to you too!!!!!!!	Joe & Nadya	Male	Ukraine	2009-04-14 15:20:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)	STUCK @ NVC for AP	QUOTE (MashaJam @ Apr 14 2009, 12:28 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ron [USCANDUAL], I read your post and can imagine the difficulties and challenges that life has presented you and your loved ones. You'll be in our prayers for relief, peace, joy and happiness to all of your family. With sweet emotions, I would like to say that my call to NVC last night was the one we were anxiously waiting for!!! I then called my fiancee and told her the good news, and spent a great deal of time planning our future and talking about our life together starting a family as we have been talking for many hours everyday since the first day that we met. (now that I recall ). With respect I would like to express my gratitudes to all for your kind support and sharing, especially Joe and Nadya, and Ron [USCANDUAL] for sharing your fine programming skills with our AP family. Let's all pray for quick relief for all who are anxiously waiting to be with thier loved ones. I would like to say that although I'm not religious, it really helps to pray and meditate ( in any order ). Hi Jam How are you doing? I want to tell you that our case is in Kiev right now.. you can see that I have passed medical interview. All is ready. I sent email to our Embassy in Kiev and they replied me and sent me Packet 3 and 4 through email. And they said they have got our case and as soon as all documents will be gathered I can call to the call center. Today I called there but I couldn't schedule. You will need this info. Embassy sends the list with new cases to the call center every Friday and the call center has an updating info only on Friday. Usually it takes 2-4 weeks to get your case to the call center. The operatos from call center can't schedule any interview for May because April is still wide open. And they said to call them again in 2 weeks. So, right now we are waiting, doing nothing	Joe & Nadya	Male	Ukraine	2009-04-14 12:26:00
