Hello All

Alla called me very early this morning with the good news that our son, Sergey, had his K-2 visa approved which finally completes our visa process. :dance:

Now he will be arriving here July 16 and I need to get his AOS ready.

Anyway, all went well, no questions asked.

For those of you contemplating having a child follow after a K-1 visa, it was not difficult and the consulate was very cooperative with everything. Once I get back together with Alla I can give a review of the interview.

VERMONT! I Reject Your Reality...and Substitute My Own!

Woot!

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

WARNING: Phrases in this post may sound meaner than they were intended to be. Read the Adjudicator's Field Manual from USCIS
