Hi!

With visa in hand, Sveta and I finally travelled back home on March 26!!!

Our adventure took a little longer than expected due to the fact that the Embassy in Bucharest would only accept police reports issued directly by the Russian department of internal affairs and not one that the Moldovan government (her country) had requested.

On March 21 she had her medical and on the 22nd her interview at the embassy in Bucharest, Romania. Very pleasant people in our case and took about a total of 2.5 hours. The visa was issued while we waited. We had lots and lots of proof as to our relation in particular to emails. I was worried this might have hinder our case but we got the opposite reaction. The interview itself took about 10 minutes. We were both sworn in and the questions were directed at the both of us. Very straight forward. Some of the questions they asked Sveta was if I knew what I did for a living, and if she knew the name of my mother or had sopken or met her. How many times I had gone to see her, etc...

The next day we flew to her home country, Moldova, where we had a small family celebration and she did final preparations with her luggage. Two days later on March 26 we both flew home to Florida. POE in Miami was also pleasant but took about 1.5 hours to process.....this was a quick process according to the official. They gave us a quick explanation as to what we could or could not do before and after marriage and then proceeded to have some small talk about our wedding plans after we were giving the entry stamp.

Hope this helps for the next person coming through Miami.

Take care ya' all!!

She needed the Russian police record only because she had also lived in Russia. You need a police clearance from any country you have lived in for more than 6 month since age 16.

Hope this helps
