I have lived in 6 European countries, then for 6 months in India, before moving to Florida. In my entire life I have not seen such crying poverty as I have in the U.S.V.I. Aside from the fact that it's quite a hassle to travel there as a foreigner, as you will be scrutinized beyond funny in San Thomas as well as in San Juan, it's not a good vacation spot, not even by a wide shot.
Fly to Hawaii instead, preferably Maui, and start your life together without stress.
There's not even 1/4 of the poverty in San Juan than there is in the USVI... I've lived in both.
But I'd stay in the US. I dated an Australian whose parents were permanent residents in the US and they had many many problems going through San Juan.

.... coming out doesn't mean you'll be humping everyone in sight. That stuff happens in college.

Don't expect that immigrating to the EU is easy either.

Getting a tourist visa isn't so easy. Your lawyer's trying to help you, however insane the advice might seem. Tell your brother they might not even look at any of those documents. GEtting a tourist visa is less about proof, and more about luck, it seems.
When my SO applied for one, we got SO MANY documents... didn't even look at them.

Unfortunately to bring someone to the US to live with you you pretty much HAVE to marry them. There's no visa for bringing your GF over.

Okay, so he received the visa and his passport again.
So it's official

This is what happens when selfish men go shopping abroad for women like they're a pair of shoes you can take back.
Divorce your wife, and try acting with some dignity and respect not only for yourself and for her, but for the law.

We should forbid porn because causing men to masturbate causes them to have one less child. It's all about overpopulating our resource-lacking world, right? Because that baby can be the next Einstein, instead of, like probability indicates, one more forgotten useless chump?
/s, about the first sentence
IMO even pro-choice people aren't so sure when it comes to late term abortion.
-
So they might keep the passport even if he didn't get it? That's just strange Ah well.
-
False alarm. Turns out they kept his passport but didn't tell him if he got it or not, so we're no longer sure :-(
-
Sure?He says the interviewer didn't even look at his proof :-(

So, my SO applied for a tourist visa here in Moscow. Interview went well, and they kept his passport and so on, but the interviewer did not officially tel him whether he got it or not. Any idea on what does this mean?
-
I know this is hurtful but, you want to marry someone who doesn't care enough to double check the files needed in order for you to MARRY HIM?
If he just forgot one thing I'd get it, but EVERYTHING?
-
Well they kept his passport and so on....
I guess that means he got it! YES YES YES!
So he's at work now, when he gets home, I'll ask him about the details of the interview, post them here to help anyone else trying to get their RUB SO's to visit.
In our documents, we included:
- A letter from my mom saying he'll be staying home with us, and ONLY for two weeks. It also had the address and so on.
- A letter from me saying that he's going to visit my family with myself and we're both coming back since we have our lives here in Moscow.
- Letter from his boss saying how long he's been working for them, his salary, and that he's authorized Max to go to the US with me for two weeks.
- His past visas from the EU/Schengen zone.
- Bank statements, including the account activity for the last six months, to prove I didn't just give him money or anything (he makes way more than I do regardless!). I guess it affected the interview that he makes a lot more money than the average Muscovite, and has the savings/investments to prove it. He's not oligarchy rich by any means, but on what he has now, he could easily live on this same flat, still go out and enjoy life and so on even if he doesn't work for the next three years.
- Ticket receipts. I know we weren't supposed to buy them, but I was scared he'd get the interview by november and Christmas tickets are always insanely high.
- Printed out application forms and the receipts of payments.

I agree with OP. I don't believe most people who say "it was an accident" when they were using BC of some sort; used properly, many of the most popular BC methods are nearly fail proof. Take that pill correctly, use the condom like you have to, get a IUD, whatever. Getting pregnant to rush the process isn't fair to the kid, it's nearly as bad as couples who are having serious problems in their marriage and decide a baby will magically fix things. Having children is a wonderful thing, but it's complicated, expensive, and adds a lot of stress to a relationship, and I can't imagine why anyone would want to add more stress to a long distance relationship that's, by the way, going through the very stressful immigration process. IMO the first years of marriage should be used to build YOUR relationship... make it strong enough to ensure children won't strain it negatively. I know there are people who are fine and happy having kids early in a relationship, but I've seen the scenario in which a baby comes, and at first it's fine, then the stress is too much, too many times.
That being said, if I got pregnant right now, I wouldn't abort (not because I am anti-choice, since I am pro-choice). I would keep the child. I use BC pills, but in my case, I have endometriosis, so it's much more difficult for me to get pregnant, and if it happened (although SO and I are doing everything in our power for it NOT to happen because it would be terrible timing) I'd be happy that I at least got the chance to be a mom, since I'm not sure the possibility is even available to me. I hope a pregnancy wouldn't be seen as a negative!

Why not go to another country instead for three months? Canada?
-
You have to talk to your husband. Turn off all phones, TV's, etc, and JUST TALK. You need to solve this, and he needs to man up.
Unfortunately I have darted men whose family is like this. And I can tell you... there's never a solution. He will never pick you over his family. Of course that was my experience, since you're married I think yours might be different.

We put in resident assuming it meant Russian residents.. since US residents wouldn't need a tourist visa.
-
Made the appointment for September 12, at 10 am. Wish us luck!
-
Having a problem here. He's trying to make the appointment, and it gives him two choices: 1. resident, or 2. non resident. We have no idea which to chose; I don't know whether they mean US resident/non-resident, or Russian residents/non-resident, or if the visa itself you're applying for is an immigrant or non immigrant visa. Any ideas?

Expect her to drain your credit card via shopping.
I'm kidding.
Expect her to be questioned a bit at the airport. I've heard it's pretty normal, so if she's late... just wait it out.
No idea on the work permit tho.
And....
CONGRATS!

I got the Acer 5742Z-4601... it's survived lots of traveling, falls, going from 120V to 240V, etc, without a problem. It's large, but therefore great for watching movies and so on. It cost me about $500.

I don't know if to write that also given he's got enough money to cover for himself. Maybe I could add that, in the case of an emergency, me and my family would cover his expenses?
Go to Jail Or Church

No. They could do something that's REALLY productive, like community service, instead. Going to church does nothing for society, and prisoners should be repaying for the damage they've done to society.
