Natasha and Vika's visa was approved today, and the consul gave the usual "you'll receive the visa in 1 week" speech, but after arriving back at the apartment Natasha noticed she did not submit the I-134 document. We went back this afternoon and turned it in to the 221G area (where we were instructed to go by the guards), but we're a little nervous now. It's difficult to believe that the woman at the window that took the documents, and the consul himself, neglected to notice that this document wasn't submitted, but we remain hopeful since the consul told Natasha the visa was approved. I'll check back the next chance I get, maybe tomorrow.

Good luck to all!

Fantastic news!! I'm sure the I-134 thing won't be a problem and you'll get that visa in no time. At least you noticed the error and have rectified it.

I'm looking forward to hearing firmer news from you and also some news from Igor. Good luck!

On the Moscow embassy website, it states that the I-134 is not required but may be requested. The way I read that is if they dont ask for it, it is no big deal, but you should have it just in case. So, I think you are good to go!! Congrats!! :dance:

I'm with bobalouie on this one. If they didn't ask for it, it's probably because they didn't need it. They were approved, so you're already home free. Congratulations!

Good luck on the rest of your Visa Journey!

Ensure your beneficiary makes and brings with them to the States a copy of the DS-3025 (vaccination form)

If the government is going to force me to exercise my "right" to health care, then they better start requiring people to exercise their Right to Bear Arms. - "Where's my public option rifle?"

Great For You Kevin-!!! :thumbs: Don't sweat the I-134, it may be requested but is not required. Some C/O's don't look at 75% of the documents you submit!

Hahaha......... Nata and I are excited for their approval almost as much as we will be for our own. Is it just me..... or has this little group sort of become like a family over the past few months? ;) I am now feeling deliriously giddy with vicarious visa approval feelings. :yes::lol:
