Congratulations!!!

:D(F)

As of:


June 26, 2012 - The Hubbs received his 10-year Permanent Residency Card (aka THE Greencard) in the mail today!




At long last, this highly stressful leg of our journey has come to a close - for now - and we couldn't be more grateful and appreciative for all the tremendous help and support here on VJ! Without VisaJourney I doubt we would be where my husband and I are today! Thanks to all!

As of today, she's officially an American! Just want to say thank you to all the VJers and especially the RUB forum for helping me keep my sanity (mostly) throughout this process! Oleksandra's VisaJou

Congratulations. But she's still a Ukrainian and should be proud of it. She's just an American, too.

Congratulations! Please keep us posted on the MIL visa process. We don't see as many of those.

Regarding MIL visits, I think that it must be getting easier to get tourist visas now. Either that or we were just lucky. We got a visa for my MIL to visit this summer for 2 weeks. She had never had a visa here or to Europe. They gave her a 1 year multiple entry visa, no problems.

Really good to know. Any one have current news about this regarding the Kiev embassy?

Yes, Moscow Embassy looks pretty easy. My parents are flying to the States with me for the wedding!

Kiev Embassy seems to be more difficult though...

What makes you think Kiev is more difficult? We are thinking about trying to bring MIL for a visit, the need to possibly get a Schengen visa in her passport first, etc.

I read Russian-speaking immigration forums, looks like there are a lot more denials in Kiev. Also, my relatives live in Kiev and I invited them for the wedding, but they didn't even try to apply for the visas, cause they knew many people, who got denied.

But you never really know until you try. Plus, if you do get your visa approved in Kiev, it's possible to get a multiple-entry visa for 5 years! In Moscow it's valid for either 1 or 2 years.

Thanks again ONA. I guess we are back to thinking about an EU/Schengen visa of some kind, to load the deck. Maybe MIL and my wife to take a (relatively) short journey to Romania or Hungary before she applies. That seems to work in some cases we know about.

Were going to try to get the MIL a visa next year. Hopefully it goes through and she can teach her daughter some simple things like where the kitchen is located.

"I want to take this opportunity to mention how thankful I am for an Obama re-election. The choice was clear. We cannot live in a country that treats homosexuals and women as second class citizens. Homosexuals deserve all of the rights and benefits of marriage that heterosexuals receive. Women deserve to be treated with respect and their salaries should not depend on their gender, but their quality of work. I am also thankful that the great, progressive state of California once again voted for the correct President. America is moving forward, and the direction is a positive one."

Wife's uncle who lives in Kyrgyzstan got a tourist visa last week to come visit us. He has never traveled outside of Russia and Kyrgyzstan and has next to nothing and no family to go back to in his small town. Seems that the interview was easy and that really surprised me. I had tried to prepare them for the high probability for a denial.

If at first you don't succeed, then sky diving is not for you.

Someone stole my dictionary. Now I am at a loss for words.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.  Deport him and you never have to feed him again.

I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

I went bald but I kept my comb.  I just couldn't part with it.

My name is not Richard Edward but my friends still call me DickEd

I fired myself from cleaning the house. I didn't like my attitude and I got caught drinking on the job.

Carrots improve your vision.  Alcohol doubles it.

A dung beetle walks into a bar and asks " Is this stool taken?"

Breaking news.  They're not making yardsticks any longer.

Hemorrhoids?  Shouldn't they be called Assteroids?

If life gives you melons, you might be dyslexic.

If you suck at playing the trumpet, that may be why.
