  1. Annie, BTW, welcome to the forums. I just noticed this was your first post. I've not kept up with the embassy statuses since my wife has been stateside 3 years already. But maybe you could try Turkey, Georgia, or Armenia? I don't think any of those require a visa to travel to (for Russians). When my wife did hers, she went through Warsaw. She got the Schengen visa. Flew from Russia to Athens, spent one night, then flew to Warsaw the next day. After her interview she was able to fly straight back to Russia from Warsaw. Wasn't too painful, but of course that was 3 years ago. Best of luck, Michael
  2. Annie, I just sent you a link in a personal message. cheers, Michael
  3. As someone who’s already been through the process as a K1, AND received the green card in less than 12 months, I would still strongly recommend going the CR1 route. I think the overall timeline will be very similar, but will be much less stressful on the back end with the CR1. I’m surprised no has mentioned the tax benefit of going CR1 as well. It’s my understanding that as soon as you are married you can claim her on you taxes, even before she arrives stateside, thus possibly reducing your expenses even more.
