After the ladies get their visas do they need to leave Ukraine in less than 180 days?

[1HappyGuy 45]

Muddy, the visa is good for six months from the date of issue. So, pretty much 180 days is the time frame when to leave.

Actually the proper answer is that they must enter the USA on or before that expiration date. The could leave Ukraine at day 170 and go visit grandmother for two weeks in Poland and then present themselves at the US border and they will be SOL.

Just some quick info on travelling with which name (Green card or Passport) and so on. We just got back from Ukraine and me being me, I bought the tickets and put my wife's ticket in her married name which did not agree with her passport. We went through JFK and on to Kiev. We had absolutely no problems whatsoever. We took her Green Card and several copies of our wedding certificate. We also carried a stamped original and a certified translation. The only time that anyone kept a copy was at check-in at JFK, otherwise they looked at the papers and sent us on our way. This includes both Ukrainian and US officials. I'm not sure if we were just lucky or if we caught everyone on a good day.

While in Ukraine we looked into geting her Passport changed to relect the name change...Uh, lets just say that her passport did not get changed. They told her that first she needed to be taken off of her dad's apartment (6 weeks), then she would have to apply to get her internal passport changed (3-4 months) but they had no forms for that and she would have to wait 6 weeks for a form. And then after the 5-6 month period of doing this she could apply to get her name changed on her international passport, but they cautioned her that if it was due to marriage outside of the country and she planned on living outside of the country she would have to apply for one of the infamous exit visas first...Another 4-6 months....Hmmm, her passport works just fine the way it is.

I have had this experience with Delta and others quite a bit over the years. Did you file a claim at the airport before you left? Sometimes they can see where the luggage is immediately. I have been to Minsk (for example), and had my bags go to Vienna instead.

It usually takes a day or two to recover a delayed suitcase if the flight was an international one. Maybe an extra day if there was a change due to flight cancellation or security issue. It is only a small percentage of the missing bags that are permanently gone - in that case they pay you for the bag (usually not enough).

Good Luck

Usually the airline will pay for clothing and the personal items that you must purchase while waiting for you luggage to be found.

Good luck.
