I get cracked-up by the way everyone in Russia answers the phone the same way, “Da… Allo! - Da, Da, Da…”

Thanks to those who have welcomed me here. I hope to receive the NOA1 from my I-130 any day now, and I have my I-129 ready to mail.

Ksenia and the girls are settling in the new apartment in Korolev. Spring break for my kids, as well as for hers is next week. Too bad we can’t enjoy it together.

Ksenia and I deal pretty well with the 5000 miles between us. We have built a bridge between us – it’s built out of love and faith and trust and photos and recent memories and conversation and dreams of the future.

I’ll probably be going over there near the end of April. I will try to go about every other month. And I’m hoping they’ll be here by the end of the year.

Kindest regards.

Welcome to the forum Andrew. Godspeed to you and Ksenia on your Visa Journey.

Hang in there, this process is actually moving along rather quickly now, and the approval juggernaut has been rolling!

That's awesome that you're going to Russia every other month. Good luck with that too!

And yeah, the "Da... allo.... da, da, da..." that really is heard quite often there.

A lot better than the (Budweiser) "Whaaaaassssuuuuuuuuuup?"

Welcome to the group workin4somethin. Ksenia seems to be a popular name in Russia
