Has anybody heard of using a POA to speed up process? Is this pie in the sky thinking?

thx Rob

Uh,using it in what way? To do what? How would it speed anything up?

PEOPLE: READ THE APPLICATION FORM INSTRUCTIONS!!!! They have a lot of good information in them! Most of the questions I see on VJ are clearly addressed by the form instructions. Give them a read!! If you are unable to understand the form instructions, I highly recommend hiring someone who does to help you with the process. Our process, from K-1 to Citizenship and U.S. Passport is completed. Good luck with your process.

A Power of Attorney only allows someone to represent you in a special status. The timing is not influenced by the POA. Are you applying for K-1, K-3, or something else?

The POA (limited) simply to sign her name-as per her instructions and intentions. If possible, a POA is one document which gives the authority to sign as intended without the need to go back and forth with any other forms.

K-1 but a limited POA would permit me to sign each necessary form on her behalf. If it is permitted it is fairly straightforward and efficient. thx again, Rob

This really does not seem like a reasonable way to go if you ask me. In order for it to be valid, then of course the POA would have to be in Russian and you would have to go out of your way to prove she understood what she was doing to give you the POA, etc. etc. Besides, while it may give you legal authority to sign her name, that doesn't mean the consulate has to accept it and your signatures as being the legal equiv to hers. I know if I worked at the consulate, I sure wouldn't - I would require hers just as a matter of principle - to show that she really knew what she was getting into, etc. There is generally a perceived power inequity in these marriages anyway as far as most people are concerned - a POA would just exacerbate any perceptions people may have in that regard.

In short, I think it's a bad idea.

Well said, AKDiver.

Ensure your beneficiary makes and brings with them to the States a copy of the DS-3025 (vaccination form)

If the government is going to force me to exercise my "right" to health care, then they better start requiring people to exercise their Right to Bear Arms. - "Where's my public option rifle?"
