K1 VISA - VSC - NOV 2009

Today is MAR 13, 2010 - He's still waiting for his package from the embassy... not sure what we do from here besides me sending him the Affidavit of Support, Letter of continuing K1 Visa, and Financial documents (work employ letter, 2 previous tax returns, 2 recent pay check stubs, proof of ongoing relationships>emails, phone bills, calling card bills, skype msgs) before his interview. Is he supposed to send the embassy anything after I send him what he needs before the interview? This is where I'm confused.

Total days from NOA1-Interview Date= a few days short of 6 MONTHS! > estimated national time is 5 months.

You would have better answers in a Russian (RUB) boards. People who have gone (or are going) through Moscow should be able to help you out with information specific to the consulate.

When your fiancee receive the P3, some forms are to be returned to the embassy, and other are required to be submitted during the interview. He'll have all the instruction in the P3.

mmmmm, am I the only one hating the new forum?

Hey guys, glad to see so many cases making their way over the ocean <img src="http://www.visajourney.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

I got my shots yesterday which - aside from being surprisingly expensive - completely wiped me out for most of the day. But anyway, another checkmark to add to this process, almost there!!!

I also talked to the embassy, where they told me that I should go in as soon as I have all my documents ready and they will help me look through it to make sure it is on order for the interview. Once that is done, they will schedule the appointment. I was all ready to do just that next week right after the medical, except the police certificate I had issued turned out to be the wrong one (should have waited for embassy instructions before applying for everything <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> ), so now I have to wait another week before I can go in. Still, once again, I can see the light now, hoping for an early April reunion <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Have a great weekend everyone!

Early April?! Heck yeah! That's awesome! Congrats, and I hope that happens!

SQUEE!! What a cute pup!

Also, me and the new forum are not getting along too well. I'm too old to adapt to this nonsense. It's taking me twice as long to do anything.

I don't think so... seems a lot slower for me, and not as nice to look at.

Yeah, it's definitely moving a lot slower for me as well.

While boringly waiting for the P3, I started filling all the applications

what a pain I tell you, you have to fill the same exact information on 3 of the 4 forms. and you don't have the same amount of space to fill each time. So stupid ... they really need to review these forms, they ask more information then they give u space to fill them in. Like, "list all employment for the last 10 years", they give you 5 lines, but for "all places you lived in", they give you 8 lines, and for "the children", they give you 8 lines. like come on ...

Soooooooooooooooooo ...

On form DS-157, on #9, they ask to list all the countries you have entered in the last ten years, like, even tho I went on vaca, I have to mention it? I visited Europe, but it was like 1 or 2 days in each country every time, should I list that? knowing that there are no stamps on my passport?

Completely agree... I just got everything together today, and man, they don't make it easy with these forms... Anyway, still have to wait for the police certificate.

Stupid question coming, but what is DS-157? I don't see that required with P3.

Love.love love your puppy!!! Hope you get to the US in time! Keep us posted, with pics if possible

I saw that the DS-157 is required for the france consulate, donno about yours, but, maybe better just fill it and take it with you just in case?

Drue will go the the animal shelter to see if the puppy is still there, and if she's "good", like not shy, nor aggressive, playful ... he said he'll get her then, but I donno, we're not 100% sure that I'll get the visa, so I donno what to do >< . Cos if I don't get the visa, he'll move to France, and he would have to leave his doggy, and now this puppy too, behind

I'm sure you'll get the visa.. why are you worrying about that? But he could always just bring the puppies with him...

I was just looking into what exactly we have to do after the wedding ... good god... looks like we will be supporting each other here on this thread for a long long time, through many more approvals.

yep, this journey is long, really long, and painful.

too bad for those who takes it as a fun waiting game

Naddy, wouldn't you think it's a time to stop though?

I understand that you put your "suffering" above everyone else, but yours is over now, so let some bile out and let it go, eh?

It's not anymore fun for us than it was for you. Everyone has their coping strategies.

It's getting redundant, you taking the cheap jabs and all

And whatever you might think, I am happy for each and every one of you here. And I don't understand why you'd worry about not getting a visa at all.

Think more positive

Oh this new site! I took me 2 days to find you all again!... and then I see the puppy, oh Mrs Dog likes the puppy! Then I read..."we're not 100% sure that I'll get the visa" - what you talking about? Then, if Drue moves to France he would have to leave his doggy behind. Non, non! If it comes to that, I will pay for Mr Drue's dog's flight cost. And I won't be argued with! Mrs Naddy giving Mrs Dog all these shocks and worries!

mmmmm, I wasn't pointing at anyone when i said that, so I donno why u ever thought that my comment was addressed to you . Some think that the K1 journey is fun and easy, but it's not, and everyone will agree with me.

and, mmmm, where did you see that i put "my suffering" above everyone else? I suffered as much as anybody else on this thread, and on all the other thread. Oh! maybe you meant by "everyone else" the ones who aren't "suffering"?

And, talking bout cheap chatting, a game I don't play, maybe you and your friends should stop playing it before twisting other peoples posts and accuse them of cheap chatting.

Good luck on your journey. Now that you are past the 3 month waiting, maybe you will start to understand our past frustration. I said maybe, we never know ...

[Martyshk 137]

I don't feel any more frustrated at 3 months 1 week and 1 day then I was the next day I woke without her by my side. So no, I'll never understand it I guess

awwww, I'm sorry Mrs D. , I'll try not to give you any shoks or worries anymore . I said I'll try, we never know lol

And about Drue's doggy, it's not financial problem, it's more space problem. He has a rotty, a big rotty, and I have a small apartment for now (well, I live alone, no need for a big apartment to clean up for nothing lol). Let's just hope he wouldn't have to move here. It'll me so much complicated for him. 1 month here and he was completely out of it
