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

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

Okay I am curious...Ionescu I think I asked you this question before but you said you were pregnant at the time if I remember correctly...anyways... we have to get one of those health certificates before we get married. I am curious what they do to you...if any of you guys know and can tell me...I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

I dont know :) We paid extra money to avoid any medical things since i was pregnant and didnt want the xray and my husband is scared of needles and didnt want his blood taken. but i know xrays and blood test is done. :)

Yes bribes are very normal process ..

It's just business as normal... but maybe a call to one of the medical centers the Consulate gives you to express your concern.. and ask if you can pay extra not to have these done..

Also...I was scared of needles als..other then I get blood taken every 6 months.. but I needed like 6-7 shots before going to Moldova... Let me tell you...Shots in the arm are so easy!!!! 10 times easier the having blood taken...I hardly felt anything..

Now in your butt... don't flinch or tighten up...or your going to be limping because it's like getting a bruise... in both areas..Just relax...and look the other way... :)

I have a question for any of you that went through Bucharest for an IR-1. Can you give me an idea of how much the visa cost at the interview?
