My son-in-law is from Iasi, Romania. While we haven't posted here - we couldn't have accomplished what we have so far in the process with the help from Visa Journey.Com. Alex has had is biometrics session this week in York PA and is awaiting his EAD and AOS interview - he arrived in the country in September 05 and got married in November to my daughter.

Good luck to everyone from Romania!

Des Moines aici... slabe sperante sa gasesc pe cineva din Romania in zona :(

Hey everyone,

My fianceé is from Cluj-Napoca, although she lives and works in Venice, Italy. Last summer I spent 2 amazing weeks in Romania with her. That trip was unforgettable... Transfargarasan road, Lake Belis, Poinari Brasov, tuica , the fulgas, playing Florin Salam really loud on the radio!!! I'll never forget the hospitality.

Well, Gabi got her interview last week in Naples.... VISA was issued!!!!!!!

YES!!!!

Welcome and congrats!

And here it's another one. Big hugs from this one

Chicago here
I am from Cluj-Napoca and my husband from Slatina (o ardeleanca si un oltean )

daca vreti puteti sa-mi scrieti

Gabi and I both love this song, we decided it's "our" song and we're going to play it at our wedding....

enjoy

I like the song , its the first time I hear it....our song was "As da zile de la mine" (din toate florile din lume?)

Im not Romanian but my fiance is, and i have many many many Romanian friends here in the US and in Romania. Its always nice to see other Romanians. Lived in Romania for over a year, my son was made in Romania Id have to say Romania is my favorite place i ever visited in all my travels around the world.

Hi everyone. First post! My fiancee is from Galati, actually. I am trying to learn Romanian at the moment and thankfully it is similar to Spanish, with which I have had a formal education. The reason is that her parents do not speak English, and I would like to speak a few things to them (and at least understand enough to discern if her sister is gossipping ).

I was lucky enough to work in Romania long ago, just for a few weeks. From Cluj, to Sibu, Brasov, and Bucharest, stopping here and there to admire the natural beauty of the country. And soon I will return to recapture that beauty, but this time with my beautiful lady in hand.

It seems the Romanians that I have spoken with, overall, give a very mixed review in their opinions of the US. Some have a very good opinion. Others think that it is a land of milk and honey on the surface but a sham underneath. Also, the history of our foreign policy becomes a point of contention, even among themselves.

So the question I throw out to the readers of this topic: when your fiance(e)'s parents discovered they were marrying an American, and moving to the US, what was there reaction?

I'll go first: her parents would have liked us to live in Romania, but the aspirations for good employment made sense for us to go to the US. They were sad about the distance, but obviously happy that their daughter had found a special person in her life. So at least in this case, the idea of America, or of an American son-in-law, proved neither positive nor negative in their reaction.

I am curious to hear your stories.

My fiances parents were thrilled he was finally getting married!! hes picky, they didnt think hed ever find one good enough for him. They ofcorse wanted me to live in Romania, and raise our son there, but are just as happy with us in the US, they said as long as we are happy where we are and go visit them yearly.
My best experience in Romania was at his moms house. I love his family soooo much!!!

Well my husbands mom-- I don't think she was very happy. When she found out that he was going to move here in US,,with me and that I was not the one who was moving there she was speechlessssss.SHe still hopes that we are going to move back to Romania...I doubt it though. She loves her son as much as any mother does and I do not blame her for wanting her son close. Otherwise, they all think that his life here is better with many more opportunities, they don't have a realistic image of how living here is, they think we have all the money we want here , and its not true.....

hey there! i'm still alive!!! (for those who know me)

good luck for all of you going through this process! I can't believe I'm done with it for another year!

in 5 days we're gonna go back to romania again, for the whole summer! I'm sooo excited!

How would the world..today be like if ROMANIA would not exist? Watch the video to see some interesting facts about Romania.

I bet YOU HAD NO IDEA! and yes all said is true

Octavia

that video was AWSOME !!!
maybe now other countries wont see us anymore as the land of gipsies and abandoned children.
im romanian, my husband is american, and we plan to move to romania for good in about 2 years! he likes it more there than here in the states ! and to be honest, so do i .

i have a question for you, if you can help me...after obtaining a tourist visa for USA (we're trying to get my mom over here for a short visit) can my mom use it after, lets say, 6 months? or it becomes invalid if she doesnt use it after a certain amount of days / months ?

thanks!
gabby

still here...getiing ready to remove conditions on June 2nd....

getting ready to buy a house by the end of June...

Felicitari!

Me and my Edy plan to move back to Romania for good as well. Not sure when yet, heck hes not even here yet. His packet3 was just sent off to him from the embassy this past Friday.
Any info for him i can pass on about the interview and before would be lovely.

tell him not to worry ...the interview was a piece of cake does he speak good english? that may be a huge advantage....and also, tell him to bring all the proof he can find ...they're not gonna look at everything, but they behaved diferently...jokes, etc i almost gave myself a heartattack before going in the embassy, but once i was in there, everybody was really really nice. i couldnt believe it .
once again, nothin' to worry about!!!
best of luck for the interview !
gabby

His english is wonderful, he started learning in 1st grade, and sometimes i think he speaks it better than i do he barely even has an accent. I have sent him lots of proof. He has an album of pictures, of us, and of our son, i sent him the first page to every chat weve had since i sent in the petition back in November, i sent in a copy of my cell phone records, emails. I believe that is all. I hope its enough. Hes just stressing As I am. Thx for the reply gabby
hugs,
Tara

he has plenty of proof....tell him not to worry! other people went in there with just a few pics and a couple of emails and got the visa so.... not to mention you two have a baby boy together
after i was done with my interview i got mad at myself for being so stressed over nothing!!
hugs and good luck,
gabby

Hello everybody...long time no see...I knew I couldn`t stay away from this thread forever

I was here in the old thread,but since it happened to be there with some negative things that happened to me back in October 2005 (I wish those things had never happened) I just assumed that the thread came across as being negative and that`s why I stayed away from this one ...not to talk that I didn`t come here on VJ for personal reasons after October 2005...I only could check and see how people I knew a bit here were doing after the middle of May...and spent some time in off topic....could see there once in a while gabbyforever,Ionescu(congrats for having made it!),1LadyinRed,anca and Iulia(Ariel2005),and jaci...I am not sure if Selena ,anman,crislem,anais and others I knew from last year still hang out some time here.Just wanted to say BUNA to everybody.Ma bucur sa va salut,sper ca sunteti GREAT!

I forgot about Radacos,hello

Right now that I am going thru the whole thread...did your mom get a tourist visa Gabby?If she gets one(hope she does ) it can be a one entry B1/B2 visa,that`s tourist/business visa or a multiple entries tourist B1/B2 visa.The first time I asked for one I got a tourist visa they issued me one entry tourist visa valid for one year and the second time a multiple entries one,valid the same for one year but I heard they can issue tourist visa valid for 10 years.The difference is that with a one entry visa you can logically enter the US once and it doesn`t matter when you use it as long as you do it within the terms that the visa is valid (the issuance date and the expiring date are actually stamped on the visa ) and with a multi entries one you can use the same visa more times.I think the only problem is not to stay longer than 6 months during one trip,but it can raise suspicions even if the return ticket is within less than 6 months (but still lenghty stay). For instance in my case my first visit to the US was for 13 days and there was no problem with my entry.My second stay again short,around 2 weeks and it was ok.During my third visit in the US I had my return ticket after 4 months from my arrival there and they got suspicious about that at my POE in the airport .Hope this helps




Tara and Ed I followed the thread about your family`s reunion in the off topic and now I am hearing that you stayed in Romania for over 1 year.Think you`re doing great with your Romanian.....saw that in your timeline

Congrats for your beautiful family!

I was going to reply a few more posts but I have the feeling that I talk to much...so I`m out of here for now ...hope to hear from you people

Hi everyone! I am from Moldova, but will be going through Bucharest for CR1. Have anyone gone through the Bucharest embassy for a immigrant visa recently? Please share your experience, and how long it was before they can schedule an appointment.

Hello,

Anyone from Galati city?

Just checking in to see how everyone is doing
Edi is doing great here in the US. Hes adjusted way faster than I ever thought, him and his son became inseperable by day 2 of meeting, and its just so good to feel happy and see him happy. There are times when he misses Romania, but i remind him of the trains, bus's, living in the villiage and gathering water, having the toilet outside etc, and he begins to unsadden fast he misses his mom and brother and dad ALOT, so i make sure he has PLENTY of phone cards on hand

hugs,
Tara

Awwww...so nice to hear your family is doing well

How's he like the food?

Btw, what part of Romania is Edi from?

He kinda likes the food so far his fav thing is ranch dressing and my moms home made chilli

Hes from Caransebes

Buna Sorana,
Sunt din Galati. Ma numesc Catrinel. Abia m-am mutat in SUA. Deci u esti singura din Galati.

Hello...my fiance Anghel is from Constanta. I am flying to Romania in February so we can get married.

Hi! Welcome to VJ.

What route will you go? K3 or DCF???


Sylvia

K3 for us

welcome to VJ

and have a safe trip to ro
keep in mind, getting married in romania is NOT cheap, be prepared to pay big since you are american. especially for translations for passport, bc, divorse decree if you have one, AND you have to sign a paper stating you are free to marry in romania, which cost me and edi something like $200 just for that paper. you pay alot of people along the way. lil tip, it doesnt hurt to give gifts to ppl, if you want something done FAST, and not have to wait weeks, a chocolate bar, bag of coffee and a bottle of wine will guarentee shortened wait times. me and edi were told it would be 2 weeks before we could get married, we gave the lady in potcoava a chocolate bar, bag of coffee and a bottle of wine , we were married the next day
if you ever wanna talk, my email is hockeygir@gmail.com
congrats on your upcoming marriage

hugs,
Tara

Awww thankyou for the reply. I do have several questions I would like to ask you so thankyou for providing your email address. I will be emailing you shortly.

Oh I will be flying in Romania in february to see my family. Also going to Constanta because I was born there.
