My fiancee called and scheduled her medical at IOM. She told me they said that you can pay in dollars, so she will do this. Both the medical fee's and vaccination translation.

"All documents not written in English or in the official language of the country in which the interview takes place MUST be accompanied by a translation in English. Translations must be certified by a competent translator and notarized. Translations submitted to the NVC will be included in the applicant’s case file."

Hello all. Well, it's been 18 days and our petition has not arrived at NVC. Every time I call, they say it's not in their system. I have already emailed NVCResearch@state.gov and attached a copy of the I-797 approval with a notice date of 9 March 2012. It's a little frustrating to say the least. Thanks for letting me vent a little this morning. Big Sigh!!!!

you should be concerned if you have not received notification after 30 days of the NOA2 date. Im sure you will hear news within the next 10 days.

Have you looked at the link I posted above (in post # 4)? This is exactly where you need to go to pay the visa fee and schedule interview online in Moscow. However, when you get to the CC payment page - it is only in Russian, so you may need your fiancee help reading what it says .

Good luck with the interview !

there is an english language icon in the top right corner of the russian bank website.

nevertheless, the payment has to be made by a credit card issued in russia.

I will send my fiance money via western union (as ive done in the past) and she will pay with her debit card.

*UPDATE* I just learned that i cannot make the online visa payment with MY credit card. The card has to be issued to someone living in Russia.

scratch "though the k1 visa is deemed as "immigrant.""

The fiancé(e) K-1 nonimmigrant visa is for the foreign-citizen fiancé(e) of a United States (U.S.) citizen. The K-1 visa permits the foreign-citizen fiancé(e) to travel to the United States and marry his or her U.S. citizen sponsor within 90 days of arrival. The foreign-citizen will then apply for adjustment of status to a permanent resident (LPR) with the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Because a fiancé(e) visa permits the holder to immigrate to the U.S. and marry a U.S. citizen shortly after arrival in the United States, the fiancé(e) must meet some of the requirements of an immigrant visa. Eligible children of K-1 visa applicants receive K-2 visas.

Below you will find an example of evidence in order to show that you have a bonafide marriage. Please be prepared to present suitable documentation at the time of your visa interview. The type of documentation you present will depend on your particular circumstances and the consulate post your visa interview will be held at. If you are unable to satisfy a consulate officer that you have a bonafide marriage not entered into for immigration purposes alone, then your visa can be denied. Section 221(g) INA

Tax returns showing joint filing

Receipts showing joint obligations for housing and living expenses, such as rent, utilities, telephone, etc

Joint mortgages, leases, credit accounts, or any other financial obligations including joint ownership of any property

Any evidence of joint finances, e.g. joint bank accounts, insurance policies, retirement plans, trusts, wills, etc.

Phone bill, photos, and correspondence between you and your spouse - from before and during the marriage

Any Correspondence to both spouses from family members e.g. emails or letters

Any evidence that those who know you and your spouse recognize you as a married couple, such as invitations, cards, correspondence (emails, letters), etc.

Any other documentation or evidence that shows that the marriage is a genuine marital union.

The Moscow embassy will ask for your most recent tax return. If your interview is in 2012 then you will need to provide a copy of your 2011 return.

Hi,

I know that they do not allow anyone to accompany you for the interview, but still wonder if there is no one to babysit your child (U.S. citizen), can you bring her along?

Thanks

nobody is to accompany you into the interrogation, I mean interview; room.

Hello all,

I am probablly going to sound stupid to some people and i appologize for this in advance. On March 27,2012 i have recieved en email from USCIS office in Moscow that my petition has been approved for further processing. They also provided me a website to go to which is www.ustraveldocs.com/ru. Is everybody familiar with this website? They want me to pay $350 fee,include the mailing address where visa is going to be sent and also set up an interview. (i'm kinda confused about the interview, i thought they were suppossed to set this up). On that webbsite they want me to login, but i dont have the pass, so i guess i have to register obviously? The next question is under who's name do i make this registration? am i just supossed to use my email address and all of the rest of information is going to be under my fiances name?

Once i complete this step, whats next??? what forms do i need? how much longer will it take before i see my fiancee.??? I want to thank everybody in advance for taking their time and reading this message and trying to help.

I will be paying my fiances K1 visa fee online via credit card on april 6th as the process recently changed. the interviewee is no longer required to bring payment to interview. though the k1 visa is deemed as "immigrant" the payment information can be found under the "nonimmigrant visa information section at http://www.ustraveldocs.com/ru/.

There you will come across an option to pay with a credit card and the "clicking here" link will redirect you to a russian bank website.

The k1 visa price + fee = 384.00 USD (11325.3957 RUB)

I do not have a facebook account and never did. I think when more people figure it out, they will drop it also.

If anyone can remember there was a time that AOL (remember them?) Charged money BY THE MINUTE to access the internet through them. They were the unquestioned world leader of internet access, email, chat rooms...whatever was available at that time. Bye bye.

Lest anyone forget that 100 years ago the most powerful and influential businesses in the world were the RAILROADS.

Facebook will die because all living things do. In this age of computers/internet things come and go faster than in the past. Railroads had plenty of time to recognize that airlines were the way of the future and they did not react. We SHOULD have Santa Fe airlines

Now, new methods are being developed so fast that no one company can remain on top of it. The replacement for Facebook is out there. It will be better, faster, cheaper. It will happen so fast Facebook will not even figure it out before it is over

In the early 90's there were no video stores, in the late 80's they charged $200 or more to be a "member" so you could rent videotapes. In the 90's they were open for all and the rental rates went down...now they are going out of business. Cable and Satellite TV will go away also. Cable at least has a good product for internet and telephone, for now anyway.

Actually the railroad started in the 1830s. 100 years ago it was the automotive industry. Ford.
