Mike & Sveta

David just a thought...Is Elena's last name Kim? If it is we both have women with the same last name..

Also my e-mail is santaforest@gmail.com you can get me there quicker.Sveat will not be back home until next Friday I don't think she took her laptop but she said something about getting to a internet cafe. I sure she will check her mail there. Elena can e-mail her. but when I talk to her I will give Elena's info to her. So they can hook up. Mike

David this has been one ordeal with her paper work that I sent her.I sent it 16 days ago and she had to travel 3-1/2 hours to another city called Ufa to get it so she would have it with her on her interview. let me give you her e-mail I don't know if it is the same as skype but it is sv.kim_66@mail.ru the next time I open skype I will get her skype address for you.

David just got some more news, don't know if you have this. DHL Elena will have to get 2 Receipts give one to Embassy the other she keeps. DHL office 31 Novinskiy Bulvar Barrikadnaya Metro Station Moscow 10:00-18:00 cost 1627 Rubles. it is a couple of doors down from Embassy.Mike

Shayn & Maria, your news is great, Sveta has her interview on the 16th of Aug next Tues. and I have a question that I hope you can help us with. We understand that you must pay for the return paperwork from the embassy after the interview. Was it DHL and how did you pay for this before your interview. any help would be great, we just don't know. Mike

Coty & Irina, that's great that your interview is behind you. Sveta has her interview next week on the 16th of Aug. and I hope you can answer a question that we have. We understand that you have to pay in advance for the package that the Embassy sends to you with all of your paperwork after the interview. We heard it is DHL, my question is how did you pay for the package before your in...

Roman & Natali, congrats on your interview. I hope you will be able to answer a question for us. Sveta has he interview in Moscow on the 16th of Aug. How did you pay for DHL so Moscow is able to send you your package? We are at a lost and don't quite understand how that works?

David if you and her get that call let me know.

which means her visa will be held up until we can deliver those docs. she applied for them on the 20th of July and they are saying a month to month and a half before she will receive them.

No David she too has to do a overnight train trip. She read that if she can get to the medical early enough in the morning she could have her results the same day late in the afternoon. What we are trying is for the Criminal Background check to come back from Ufa that might be the hold up on her visa. They wanted to get the interview out of the way and we might have to send the last doc later.

David your guess is as good as mine! Sveta is going to have her medical on Monday and they told her if she arrives early enough they can maybe have it back to her the same day late in the afternoon. I hope that they will. Mike

David hope things are going well with your visa, Sveta has an interview on the 16th of Aug!!! Moscow called her yesterday.

David, Mike here I had received my new case number from the NVC yesterday. any luck with yours yet?

from NOA-2 until interview is about 77 days. good luck to you and Elena. It would be wild if our two women met in Moscow the same day. Let me know when you get you interview date...Mike

Hi David, Mike here and just wanted to let you know I called the National Visa center a couple of days ago. They told me it would take at least 15 workings days before they even get our application, then we will get another number with a notice in the mail. Let me know how yours is going. My e-mail address is santaforest@gmail.com. Sveta and I were looking at the averages and it is 77 days from NO

David, I know you have already contacted Vermont. Did they give you any reason? I don't quite understand how they work...Mike

Thanks for your best wishes, we hope for the same for you two.Mike & Sveta

thanks, when did you send your paperwork in? I glad we have moved on to the next step. good luck in your journey. We wish you two the BEST OF LUCK....Mike

Thanks it seemed like it took FOREVER

wow what a long time it seemed between our 1st NOA and our 2nd.

David, if this lady is telling you it takes 5 months then why are there some NOA2 after 4 months?

David did they give you a reason why after the 14th. Have you looked at California they are way ahead of Vermont. I guess my question is why? Yea keep me up to what going on with yours. Mike

David, Mike here and what in the world is going on with your 2nd NOA? I don't understand how they passed you and are already into March and now they have some people that have filed after we did already getting their 2nd NOA's. I don't understand Vermont service center. If I see any in April I will be making a phone call to find out whats going on with mine. Good Luck Mike

good luck to you both, this is the hurry up and wait stage.

David, mike here and I bet you are waiting for any day now to get your 2nd NOA. good luck to you both...
