Thanks gain Gary for all this valuable info,

I won't be able to go with her to the interview, she will be traveling to Poland by train it is about $175.00 for a for a ticket for a 8 hour trip. The train station is ~ 10 blocks from the consulate, that is what I can figure from using Google earth. I have booked her into the MDM hotel mid way point between consulate and train station. I have point pointed these location on GE and sent to her with directions as well.

Was wondering if anyone has the address for the post office, on the ultra docs it says any bank but have been reading there is one specific place she must go?

Also the address for visa pick up. So I can send her the directions from both, not that I am to lazy to look for this information, just rather get it from some some that has gone through the process already

She is going to arrive in Poland sept 9 as there are no holidays that week. Looking forward to finish this and have my lady with me. I see other folks have gone through much faster then us, oct 5 will be one year from the day they received my I129F .

Ok, trying to make this payment from America. Has anyone done this? I called the Polish embassy and they told me I would have to open a bank account in a Polish bank. There has to be an easier way.

They have a web site for a sofort banking service but my bank is not on the list, any advice in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Hi chuck,

I'm in Gomel with Nadia. That's South of Minsk. From my understanding, the medical exam can be done in Minsk. In Minsk you just go to one place, if done in Warsaw. You have to go to many different offices. Right now I trying to find information about a visa for Nadia for Poland. Will give you updates once we have completed some of the steps. My plan at the moment is to rent a car from Avis in Minsk, and drive to Poland. Hoping to will give us some flexibility.

Hello Ollie & Nadia,

Thanks for your reply and look forward to your updates. I wrote to the embassy in Warsaw and actually got a response to some of my questions, they did not reply about the visa to Poland. From what I have read and what Tamara has found it seems it is not going to be as easy as I had hoped. Yes the medical exam can be done in Minsk, I guess they send a list of doctors in one of the packages. They do the finger printing at the embassy, no fee. And any vaccinations she will need are also in the package.

Good luck and god speed,

Chuck

Ollie,

My fiance lives in Minsk and just got our notice from the NVC, funny thing they do the tourist visa's in Kiev. We have been trying to plan ahead and when we got the notice telling us the interview process would be held in Warsaw was a bit upsetting for my fiance.

I am sure everything will work out. Many people before us have done this and we all will get through this.

I am still trying to find out where she needs to get her medical exam, if she need vaccinations. I have heard she may need educational documents and about finger printing.

Not sure if you have been through the whole process, if you have I would appreciate any information you could pass on, good luck.

Chuck

I am confused, my fiance tells me that people she knows have gone to Kiev for their interview. The fact that she would need a visa to go to Warsaw seem a hassle.
