My review of the interview:
My interview was in Kyiv. The conversation with the consul itself was very quick (3–5 min), but I had to wait in line for about an hour from entering the consulate grounds. Two windows were open: at one, a friendly lady in a vyshyvanka; at the other, a young man who asked lots of detailed questions. I was lucky to get the lady in the vyshyvanka.
The preparation session with Gen.Visa helped a lot, because at the interview they asked exactly the questions we had practised: “Do you feel safe in Kyiv?”, “Have you or your family been harmed?”, “Do you think you could be harmed after returning to Ukraine from the States?”. There were also standard questions: where I work and as what, my salary, whether I have a family. They didn’t ask for any documents at all.
My overall impression of the interview and the preparation with the agency is very positive. I felt supported by the agency and was well prepared, which helped me feel confident and not nervous.
