No she still hasn't recieved it. According to a russian forum she reads some of the other girls have been saying they recieved their packages about 10 days prior to the interview, but who knows i'm still holding out hope it will be in the mail soon so we can get everything together.

In the past some girls never received the packet. Does not really matter as all the information is listed on the embassy website. If she receives the packet 10 days prior to the interview and has not done most of the prep work there will be trouble, or at least some panic and tense moments.

Okay, here's my first attempt at making a FAQ for the Russia thread. Please PM me any corrections/comments/additions and I will edit it. This is mostly cut-and-pasted from questions asked over th

Wow....that is amazing. She didn't want the big wedding?

Nope. And the icing on the cake is she doesn't want children either.

She can log onto the embassy's website and accomplish all the forms she needs to do prior to receiving the packet. As Neon's pointed out, sometimes they don't even get the packet at all.

My question is, does she only have to take documentation with her to the interview, or is there anything at all which she will have to forward to the embassy ahead of time? Also, will she be needing the NVC letter from me which contains the MOSxxxxxx case number? If so, would she be needing the original or a copy? I just want to be absolutely sure that we have all of our bases covered, and are not missing any steps/information.

Thanks in advance for all answers.

According to the I-134 instruction, you do not need to have the I-134 notarized. BTW, great info, thank you!

Hello Russ:

Thank ypou for the fine job. As a benificiary who is self-employed it was my understanding that they only needed one (1) year of tax transcript?? You've indicated that they need three (3) years. Which is correct?

Thank you

Mike

Most of the folks in this forum completed the visa process 5 or more years ago. Perhaps it's time for a "new" FAQ? I'd bet most of the stuff has changed. But, then again, "it's Russia" so maybe it hasn't.

Actually a lot has changed so I second your suggestion of a new FAQ. For example the embassy no long sends out a packet 3, everything is done electronically, no I-134 notarization is needed, the visa fee is $240 payable electronically only and online is the recommended way of scheduling interview appointments.

1 up! Flew Houston to Domodedovo three months and fifteen days ago with Singapore and it costed me around $900 without tax and baggage fees of course. The flight was fine: I would change one thing and that is the fact that they should serve drinks more often and have bottles of water, not tiny little cups of water.

I thought the NVC would let me know when the interview is. I schedule it, for sure?
