K1 interview

[Rivermaverick 0]

Tamila has her interview set for March 1, 2006. I would like to see some discussion on the entry

requirements for receiving a visa for the fiance's children. As I see the requirements, she needs a

notarized permission from the ex-spouse. She has had no financial support, and the father does not

visit his daughter. As she is on good speaking terms with him, she assured me that it would not be

a problem. Now, to not too much surprise to me, he has refused to sign the permission. She has seen

a lawyer, and the last letter said that the lawyer, working through the father's sister, has assured her

that he will sign. With the father giving no support, and no visitation with

his daughter, I suspected that he would be the kind of a person who would not co-operate.

The Moscow embassy gave her the interview date along with her instructions, without waiting for her

to get the requirements finished. Now she said it will probably will not be ready by Mar. 1. She plans

to ask for a two week delay for the interview.

If others have had experience with this kind of problem, I would like to hear about how it was dealt

with.

Thanks to Visa Journey, the procedure has gone amazingly well so far. Tamila's friend, who's fiancee

was in Iowa, used an attorney for the procedure, and told her that our progress has been much

quicker. (of course it seems gruesomely slow to me)

On my visit in St. Petersburg, I took an electronic translator. One of the pictures is of Tamila with

the translator. It kind of saved the day for us. It was far from perfect though. We found it necessary

to reverse translate to be sure we said what was intended. Often it was far different from what was

intended.

I am responding in regards to delaying the interview. My fiance and I had no children from previous marriages. We were scheduled to go for the consulate interview and realized that our paperwork needed some clarification before we could get approved. We went to the interview and explained the situation to the consular. They agreed to postpone the interview until my fiance qualified to reenter the US. They were a little surprised I think to hear we wanted to postpone for six months but realized we had to do so or our application would have been denied... which means starting all over. Good Luck.
