I did reservation and pay for a ticket in "Aeroflot" Washington.DC. My wife can pick a ticket up in any

"Aeroflot" location. Price is cheaper than in Russia.

Good luck, and don't drink too much -- otherwise how would we know?

Nick, wonderful wonderful news. Today I send in our K1 visa paperwork-the waiting begins for Raya and me.

Janna got her Visa approved. No drama here. She just will need to go back to the embassy to sign a form at 2pm. We just finished chat from her office and had to return to the embassy

She did meet another person that recognized her from the pictures on this website. Her name is Nadia, I am not sure if she is a regular poster here but she does come to this site. Anyway, she also got her Visa. Congratulation Nadia!

She waited 2 hours for the interview. The interview itself took about 10-15 minutes. She was asked 5 questions.

Question 1: Tell me about Roger.

Question 2: What does he do at work?

Question 3: What qualities I like in him?

Question 4: Is he married?

Question 5: Are you married?

Then she took the 2004 tax return, letter from the employer, and something else but Janna did not remember what it was.

Oh, I also did not bother to get the bank letter.

I am sorry I `d disappeared, but I just didn`t have any desire to write until this whole mess ended.

We had a temporary denial 221G at the interview on December 20, 2005. The problem was that my 2004 income doesn`t cover

four people (my wife and two children). I was hoping - foolishly, perhaps, - that the collection of my pay stubs and my bank statement along with the Affidavit of Support, where I projected my income for 2005, would be enough to convince them, but apparently I was wrong. They asked for I-864 Affidavit of Support from a sponsor, and I did try to get one, but my friends just didn`t find it possible to make such a commitment (the legal language in that form is very strong, indeed).

So, I wrote to the embassy with a couple of suggestions, and of course they had that long New-Years-Russian-Christmas break,

and finally sent us an e-mail where they said they would accept a copy of my 2005 tax return. Well, - halleluiah, I filed the 2005 return and sent them a copy along with copies of all my pay checks for 2005 by DHL. Two weeks later, Feb.8 I was checking our DHL number on-line, and there it was: the package was sent. It arrived February 10, three passports with visas.

So, it is over.

Thanks, everyone. And congratulation Alex for finally getting the K-1 visa.

Well, it`s K-3 actually.

But - thank you all, good luck for the rest of your journey!

Congrats Alex Natasha is coming over in April I guess, she needs some time to say goodbye and celebrate her nephews ( soon to be our nephew ) birthday, and her best friends birthday. Now I just need to get things in order over here and start learning the AOS process.
