Hi everyone!

My fiance, Vasya, was APPROVED for a K1 visa on January 21! I must say that hearing the good news was the best birthday present ever! :dancing::wub::dancing:

For anyone, interested Vasya said that the only painful thing about his whole interview experience in Moscow was having to wait outside the embassy in the freeezing cold! Other than that, he said it was total breeze! The officer asked him just 2 simple questions: "How did you two meet?" and "How is Anna's [me] Russian?" To the second question Vasya replied, "Her Russian's quite good but sometimes it can be a little difficult for her." He said that the officer laughed and joked: "Well, it can be a little difficult for me too... except all the time!"

Other than glancing over the financial documents and other required paperwork, that was all! He didn't even want to see any of the pictures, emails, notes, cards and other lovey-dovey junk that we'd both spent hours putting together and organizing! :rolleyes:

By the way, he completed his whole medical exam on January 19 - despite my worries about it being only 2 days before the interview - and said that it was simple as well. So... knocking out both the medical and the interview in one trip is definitely doable, especially if short on time (and cash).

As of:


June 26, 2012 - The Hubbs received his 10-year Permanent Residency Card (aka THE Greencard) in the mail today!




At long last, this highly stressful leg of our journey has come to a close - for now - and we couldn't be more grateful and appreciative for all the tremendous help and support here on VJ! Without VisaJourney I doubt we would be where my husband and I are today! Thanks to all!

congrats!!! :dancing:

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

This is great news! Congratulations! Yulia has her interview in 7 weeks and wants to do the medical interview and embassy interview on the same trip to Moscow. Her interview in on a Tuesday and she will probably want to do the medical on Monday. Hearing this from you makes me feel better about her decision to wait until the last minute.

Ensure your beneficiary makes and brings with them to the States a copy of the DS-3025 (vaccination form)

If the government is going to force me to exercise my "right" to health care, then they better start requiring people to exercise their Right to Bear Arms. - "Where's my public option rifle?"
