Starting second week of April, 2009, US Embassy in Vilnius, Lithuania start processing Imigrant visa cases. That means you no longer have to make long, dangerous, uncomfortable, unwanted, painfully boring trip to Warsaw, Poland. All the interviews will be done here in Vilnius. Yiipiii! Any more Lithuanians around here?

Poland to Estonia & back (even longer and more boring! :D) and we have discussed possibly doing similar trip in a year or two (we both have friends in Baltics) .... so, why is is dangerous?? :o

:D Dangerous, because it involves 500km of drive on a country-side roads which are antonym to a highway. It's always very crowded of trucks and other cars, always consisting of just one lane in one direction and it goes through so many villages that you wouldn't want to do it ever again. I did it many times and Lt border-warsaw road has always been a worst part of the longer trips to western europe. Wish they could build a normal highway one day and save a lot innocent people lives...

So i'm very happy that the interview was transferred to Vilnius. Although I still have to go to warsaw for the flight as the tickets to fly from Vilnius are so much more expensive :angry:

Few Lithuanians make the drive through Poland to go the embassy in Warsaw, most just take a train. I'd say Lithuania has more potential for danger than does Poland.

Hi ,

Nothing against Poland, just the roads are so tiny. Lots of accidents happen. But of course it can happen in every country.

always nice to see more people from Lietuva!!!
