GLTALLTOAD Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/9/2005 11:07:37 AM   it could be worse...she could be asking for a visa long before they meet. rrlinders Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/9/2005 7:43:50 PM   Guys thanks for your input. We have not met , and I have no plans of doing anything until we meet. It just seems kind of strange that as big as Russia is that one would have to travel 5000 miles in her own country to receive a visa. She has never ask me for money. As a matter of fact I sent her some roses , which she went on and on about, but told me to save my money for my visit to her. Her sons bike was stolen and I offered to but a new one , but again she refused as she said she had enough to replace it, and for me to save. Thanks again Bob scottlf Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/9/2005 9:09:12 PM   Very hard to say, since I haven't been through the process. I'm sure a few others here can chime if they are listening. There are consulate offices in St. Petersburg, Ekaterinburg, and Vladivostok, too. I would think the interview could be done at the consulate office, but I don't know. GLTALLTOAD Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/9/2005 10:35:44 PM   as far as I know ALL fiance visa interview are done in Moscow. What the hell, let's raise some hell with Washington DC to change that, lol IceChaos Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/10/2005 9:55:20 AM   I think what she said is true, after all Moscow is the center of power in Russia. I know of someone who just came here about two months ago from Omsk and had to go Moscow to get visa and go through US procedure to come here to the states. Ice gladiatorUK Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/10/2005 10:21:45 AM   I know from a British standpoint that interviews for UK entry can be conducted at consular offices,but I suspect that US regulations are considerably more strict. nasfan6 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/10/2005 10:25:51 AM   Glad US regulations are more idiotic nasfan6 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/10/2005 10:33:49 AM   My favorite part of the process is the ability to support. It humors the hell out of me. I have very little in my checking and savings. Why the hell should I when the best my money market pays is 1.25% My mutual funds and annuities are a different story, along with stock purchases, how come I feel another IRS audit coming on?????Hmmmm? I have never worried about being financially scrutinized until now. Hell it easier to borrow 200k on a house than it seems to bring a woman from the FSU. What is really sad, is she will be a more productive citizen here than some of the deadbeats we have sucking off our welfare system now. The main line in the support document is the governments concern that she will become a charge to the US. Well idiots in the government, liberal do gooders, clean up our house first then worry about an extremely educated woman from Ukraine later. Damn my government can piss me off in a nanosecond! Shit she speaks English better than some of the damn hillibilies where I live and it's her third language.
