As some of you know Belarus citizens have to go to Warsaw Poland for a k-1 visa interview. That in itself is a hassle that most couples don't have to deal with. Schengen visa, travel expenses and generally an additional headache. Now according to this http://poland.usembassy.gov/poland/processing_fiance.html there are new changes with the American Embassy in Poland that require the interview date to be prepaid at a bank in Poland prior to scheduling the interview. This means that my fiancee or I will have to travel to Warsaw just to pay for the scheduling of the interview. According to the site there is no way around this. You can't pay online and as an American citizen I can't pay some bank here in the states. Unless I am reading this wrong, it's a really messed up situation and I would like to hear some thoughts or suggestions. I am still a few months from getting my approval and have plenty of time to figure out the best course but any help would be great.....Gary

You don't have to way all the way down to Warsaw to pay - there is plenty of cities with banks on the way between border and Warsaw and you can actually pay it in the post office (since it is a so called "Postal Bank" that polish postal service opened that USEM wants the fee paid at.

Thanks. So basically any post office in Poland would work?

Unsure at this time but would probably be near Brest. Thanks again.
