Today's medicals in Moscow

[John and Anna 0]

My fiancée and mountainlovers both went for their medical exams.

As other have written

"Go to the Medicina clinic, it is first rate AO Meditsina, telephone (7-095) 250-9186 or 250-8899. "

Anna said it was a great experience – no queues, clean, professional free coffee and a piano player.

Thanks for the heads up. My fiancee has her interview in two weeks there. I'll ask her which one she has her medical at. Has your fiance got her medical results back ? Good luck on the interview.

Both Anna and Dina (mountainlovers) passed medical!

(but are out spending money)

sort of mixed emotions

And I thought it was just American women that enjoyed going out and spending money

Hey John when she gets done with her interview and you guys are finished celebrating maybe little insight on the goings on in the interview. I know I have all of the stuff we need. Only because I have gone over it at least 30 times a day. I can't believe I've been productive since we found out the interview date. Just a little insight as to some questions and what to look out for. Hope all goes well.

Thank you john for your Post. We had received our NOA2 on 9/20/06 and are still waiting for the NVC and interview date. However! I find out now that my love is a little needle shy:)) ha ha:)) Yes she will need the current inoculations for the US. and I assured her it wouldn't hurt:))) For you to describe the Moscow clinic surroundings is very helpful. I can pass this friendly description over to her and hope it helps:))))

Are NOA2 says wait 2 - 4 weeks for NVC arrival. I am a bit concerned, after reading more of the Russian Forums after the NOA2 approval, of delays. God speed for all.

Congrats on your NOA2. It took only one week for my docs to get to the NVC and then I was on AP (Administrative Processing) for 8 days and then off to Moscow. You'll be alright. Dont be afraid to call NVC every day. Preferably first thing in the morning when they open 7am or 8am Eastern if I remember right. They will give you your new assigned case number. And they will tell you when your docs left for Moscow. You can check this website for the embassy for your case number after you know your docs have left NVC to see if they have set up interview date. http://moscow.usembassy.gov/consular/iv_dates.php Thats how I found out about our interview before I got notice of it. Good luck to you and your fiancee

Luvlife,

Don't be too concerned about this delay. Take it from my own experience. You just have hope for the best. My fiancee rescheduled her interview and we were fortunate to get a date in October. You just have to do a careful follow up on your case with NVC and the Embassy. I wish you and your fiancee all the best.

Looks like I got pretty much the same things as you do. I did attach some emails as well. How did you get all of those sms messages printed up ? I did all the boarding passes for the three trips as well which I think is a kicker. As well as all the visa's and stamps from US re-entry. I'll keep the fingers crossed but it sounds like you got all your ducks in a row. Good luck tomorrow !!!!

John,

It won't be long now....my now-wife arrived here about 14 months ago- I live in the Philly area also. I can only wish you the best of luck. There will be many obstacles to overcome - the CULTURAL difference, family biases (maybe), the Social Security administration, the PA DMV, and USCIS to name a few. But it has been the best year of my life so far.

What has made this somewhat easier for us is that my wife's point-of-entry was JFK, and she recieved her work authorization stamp. This started to make everything easier, as it allowed us to get her a social security number, which allows her to get a PA driver's license which also is important.....

Good luck and use this site as a good resource for future deals with the USCIS.

But you don't need the work authorization stamp to get the SSN as a K1.

Hey V27

We will live in Havertown. Anna is from St Petersburg.

and you?

Did you got to the SS office? There is one in Darby. I think it will be faster to go to the office?

We will get married in Fla on November 3. (No SS needed in Fla)

Then DMV etc.
