[Moony 0]

ok. guys here I am.in Yerevan! First of all they gave me hard time why I borned in Iran and travel with US passport! they asked for my Iranian passport which I didnt gave them!

Finally when we got a taxi to go to our hotel the fun time started! I booked 9 nights through booking.com the name of hotel was capital! Oh My God! when we got there, we were shocked! Capital actually is not a hotel!! it is a cottage in middle of village! so we even didnt leave the taxi! the only other hotel I knew was Golden Tulip! so we checked in there for $260 for ONE NIGHT! NO other choice after 30 hour.flight! so.then I started looking for a new hotel for next 8 days! Here now in Shirak ! the location is really good! but the hotel is old but sort of clean! My mom.& dad had their first part of medical yesterday! Dr Anush Harduian is a really nice person! They did x ray and blood test, and we go back.to hospital today for final visit.

I will post more updates in.next few days!

Hi Moony,

Fortunately you're with them, otherwise i don't think they could find another hotel.

I haven't checked hotels in Yeravan online. I thought it would be better that my Mom goes with a tour(she hasn't found a good one yet though).

good luck

There are some Iranian students here who run travel agency, We saw a lady today in hospital gave us his number. If you want I can give you his number?

Ok here we are! My mom & dad passed their interview! It was very easy ! There was no line at all! They didn't let me go inside! The questions were like: How many times you married ? Have u ever change ur last name? Asked about their jobs! And the only question about me: where I live?

Both got AP!! Everybody got AP! The journey almost done!

I'm glad for you & your parents Moony.

BTW, did the officer ask them to show him your american passport?

I checked priceline.com & hotels.com & ebookers but none of them suggest shirak hotel. May i ask which website you used to book in? and can you give me the phone number of those students who act like tour guides?

How long do you think the AP take

Thanks

What they wanted was the copy of my husband's passport who is co-sponsor! You can go to booking.com or tripadvisor.com for Shirak hotel! The name of student is Ehsan Rodi, who is aPhd student here! I have been told he even can come and pick up ur mom from airport! But the taxi is super cheap 1000 Deram for each direction! But from airport is 6000 Deram. Ehsan Rodi number is 0037477910812! He offered us several apartments, but we were more comfortable in the hotel!

The officer who was super nice told my dad it can be between 4 to 8 weeks! Then they just come back and drop off their passports in mail box in front of embassy for issuing visa:) the officer told my parents they have to stay one week for their second trip!

Thanks Moony,

for replying to my questions.

I called NVC unfortunately no interview was set for my mom for December, eventhough her case was completed in September.

I wonder if my co-sponsor should send his new tax return if an interviw is scheduled for January.

[Moony 0]

In that case you will receive an email to provide any other documents!

Hope every thing goes well Mitra jan! I am checking the website everyday to see if their case gets clear! They have to be ready for second trip! Oh by the way, there is another important thing I have to tell you! Download Armenia visa form and fill out it for ur mom! It makes her arrival much easier and faster! For place she stays also put Shirak hotel!

Thanks Moony

My mom decided to book her hotel and flight with a travel agency.6 nights of Metropole hotel + flight seems to cost 1,700,000 tomans.

BTW,her medical appointment is on Monday and her interview is on Thursday morning. Do you think this schedule works?Or shhould i set the medical appointment to an earlier date like Friday before the interview?

If she already did her vaccination , Monday is good!
