K-2 Interview & Translating Devices

[Klaatu 0]

Folks:

I have 2 questions. F

First, my fiancee has a small daughter who will be coming -- much to my delight and joy! Can anyone advise of the questions asked by the embassy regarding the children and the former spouses?

Second, I speak little Russian and my fiancee speaks little English, so we will need a hand-carried electronic translating device. Can anyone recommend a good one? I need something that can translate several sentences of text. It would help if it speaks, also.

Thanks for your time and advise!

1st and most important Include her daughter on your K1 Petition. You will need to show documentation of sole custody, and written permission from the father of the child for her to immigrate. Then she will need all the same documents that apply to her as your fiancee like birth certificates, and everything will need to be translated.

BTW fill in your time line

I took one of those etaco electronic translators and thought I had it all figured out !! and You know what I used more then anything ?? Thats right My 8 dollar phrase book dictionarys that i bought at borders books.. Its funny that you asked that because it brought back memories and I still use it today.. This will also help you with your learning which you should be very proud of and she will respect you for it !!! Good luck . yah gavadroo yimnoga pudruski doesha...chew chew

I bougth a Ectaco also and it works pretty well. While the phrase books are great when your lady comes here it might help her if she had a good electronic dictonary. I left mine with Alena after our first visit and she has used it a lot. We still bring it with us on trips but rarely use it as Alena's English is getting much better. It comes in very handy when you just need to find that one word you need to explain something. I also see that Eataco has a new voice recognition version available. If you decide to buy one go to their website and express your interest but do not buy it and shortly thereafter you will start receiving discount offers via e mail.

I also agree that leaning Russian will score you big points, at least it has for me.

Good luck
