    Romania's food isn't THAT much different than ours. They just wouldn't eat those foods at the same time of day or in the way we'd prepare them. Most of America's foods are a mish-mash of European dishes.

    I just meant if she isn't a breakfast eater don;t go loading up and feeling heavy and lethargic. Hunger can be a good motivator. A good cup of coffee (heck a red bull and vodka) and you are good to go.
    I would be in the bathroom with nervous knots if I loaded up on all that. But ohhhhhhh after the interview it is on.
    I'm hungry now.

    I wouldn't go with #4 unless she is used to greasy foods and heavy breakfasts. She might need to go #2 after!
    My tummy gets upset when I'm nervous, so I'd probably just eat some bread and cheese.

    You made me laugh. Its start of the day and i am at work. After reading your post i just cant stop smiling.
    I loved the part "Basically, when she walks through the doors to the interview I want the "Eye of the Tiger" song playing in some divine speakers, but at the same time I want something like "Don't Worry, Be Happy" to be subliminally playing behind it."
    Just say her "don't stress..." even though i have not gone through the interview process, i am reading and making myself prepared. "Don't stress .. everything is just going to be fine and i am going to be home soon with my love"
    Good luck and best wishes to you and your wife. Hope everything gets smooth.
    Cheers

    AnnaMaria got a reaction from blacktears in Medical Exam Review - Regina Maria - Bucharest Romania   
    Hi everyone, wanted to share my experience with my Medical Exam at Regina Maria in Bucharest, Romania.
    My appointment was at 9:30 AM and we arrived around 9:15 AM. There were a lot of people there, but apparently there is a priority for visa exams, therefore we only waited after checking in for around 15 minutes. At the reception desk, I was asked to provide my Identity card and that was all until I went into the back.
    There were four total steps during the Medical exam.
    1) A nurse came out and asked the crowd if anyone was there for a visa. I raised my hand and then went into a room and she asked me my birthday and took one vial of blood. This part only took about 3 minutes.
    2) After they drew my blood, we went down the hall about two doors and were third in line to get my chest x-rays. At that room they asked for my passport, my age, and if I was pregnant. I was asked to remove my shirt and bra for the x-ray and it was over in just about 5 minutes as well.
    3) Finally, with the x-ray and blood test done, I went to wait to see Dr. Toma. We were the third person again, and she was absolutely wonderful. She was very nice, friendly, and could tell I was nervous. She was laughing and smiling the whole time. My husband was with me and we wanted to make sure she had my name written correctly because my family doctor forgot my suffix and I think I excitedly told her not to forget it too loud. I apologized and said that I just had a louder voice than normal and she laughed and said it was ok. She really made this less stressful. Here is what she asked and what I was required to provide :
    - She took my note from the family doctor (IMPORTANT THAT YOU GET THIS) stating that I have no serious physical or mental diseases
    - She took my 3 passport sized photos(NVC Case #, Name, Signature, and Birth date)
    - She took my passport
    - She took my Vaccination Record
    - She asked about my allergies, which I said no, except for Pollen
    - She asked if I had ever used or abused drugs or alcohol
    - She asked if I had any surgeries (Even simple surgeries)
    - She took my height, weight, and blood pressure.
    - She also checked my lungs with the listening thing
    - She put pressure on my stomach to see if there was any pain and asked if it hurts
    That's all I can remember, but that is a general overview of the time I spent with the doctor. It wasn't more than 10 minutes maybe?
    4) We arrived at 9:15 AM and we were finished with the medical exam by 10:30. It was much less painful than we anticipated. Dr. Toma told me to come back after 3:30 PM for the results. We came back at 3:15 and she was working on peoples packets so we waited in the lobby until she called me from behind the reception desk. Last few notes :
    - IMPORTANT - She will give you the big sealed envelope with x-rays, blood results, and overview that you CANNOT OPEN and a small piece of paper with your vaccines that you must take with you to the interview and to the states. You will need these later.
    - She did not review the results with me or provide me with any form of a copy. She did verbally tell me that everything is OK and not to worry. I took this as a good Medical Exam and the results were fine.
    Overall, it was a very pleasant experience at Regina Maria and Dr. Toma was a very professional individual. Based on her final remark before I left, it would appear that my Medical Exam turned out good
    I hope this everyone. I would recommend this hospital to any future Romanian applicants.

    I also went to the NVC Wiki here and pulled up some of the actual pieces of proof you can provide :
    The following is an excerpt from Saylin's NVC wiki page http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process#Step_4_-_AOS_Package
    Steps I have taken to maintain US Domicile:
    • Maintained my XXXX voter registration
    • Maintained my XXXX credit card registered in the US with a US PO box
    • Maintained my bank account at the XXXX Credit Union
    • Maintained my bank account at XXXX Bank
    • Maintained my XXXX drivers license
    • Maintained my US retirement fund through XXXX
    • Maintained my US investment account with XXXX
    • Maintained my US PO box
    • Maintained licensure by the XXXX
    • Maintained membership in the XXXX
    • Maintained my automobile in care of my parents

    Supporting Documents for the above steps I have taken:
    • Voter registration card showing permanent US address
    • XXXX credit card statement showing US billing address
    • XXXX Credit Union statement showing permanent US address
    • XXXX Bank statement showing permanent US address
    • XXXX drivers license showing permanent US address
    • Retirement fund statement showing permanent US address
    • Mutual fund statement showing permanent US address
    • XXXX license currently up to date
    • Renewal of XXXX membership
    • County tax bill showing I still own a vehicle

    I think it would be a good idea to make sure you can prove that your wife has maintained domicile in the states. If she can prove this, then i'm sure there are thousands of couples who did not get an apartment or house until they actually got to the states and found one.

    Hmmmm...this situation is tricky, I think there are other people who have encountered a similar issue, but I haven't seen one where the US Citizen had absolutely no friends/family in the states yet.
    On the AoS packet part of the NVC phase (which is where you will be going after USCIS) it's going to ask the U.S. Citizen to show proof of domicile in the states.
    What information do you think you will be able to provide to show that she has somewhere to live or any ties to the states still?

    Instead of being rude to people, and then asking for a question. Ask yourself this question...
    Would you rather 100 people look at it and give you wrong information that would hurt your case
    OR
    Would you rather get one, or a few answers that have exactly what you need to here and make things faster and easier?
    You have no idea the frustration this visa can cause, we have posted some very, very important topics here that received 0 responses. Everyone's situation is different though, and because they didn't answer, it doesn't meant hey don't care. Maybe they just don't know and are trying to read your post for help in their case, if this happens to them?

    A Student Visa is for the purposes of pursuing education, not obtaining residence, which you have clearly just stated and I underlined above. Therefore, that is premeditated immigration fraud. The only reason it is painful to you now, is because you are in a situation where you could get caught living illegally or become financially unstable. Fulfill YOUR part of the visa agreement and return to Spain and then apply for the appropriate visa to re-enter the states.
    As for Opening your business....You do realize that if you are receiving any form of EARNED INCOME in the states, whether you are present and working there or not, or just bringing in profit, then you are considered TAXABLE and therefore are working illegally. There is no corporation that can legally evade immigration laws and allow non-immigrants to obtain income in the states without legally being responsible for taxes. Sorry, but again, you're cheating the system. **As I said, if your income comes from anywhere outside of the states, that is another story.
    Sorry if this comes off as rude, but just because you're good people in your community and feel like you are a citizen of the world who can live anywhere, doesn't mean you can lie to get what you want. You do understand that your EXACT situation is one of the reasons there are immigration laws, and specific visas? You CANNOT get financial support in the U.S. as you stated because of your status, and you are ALMOST out of money, as you also stated. Do you think they are going to just pat you on your back when you are trying to get welfare on a student visa and just let you be on your way with food stamps and public support?
    So if you want to be noble, you honor your commitments, you respect other people's homes and their country by following the rules, and you don't become a burden on those around you.
    Edit: (I'll word this more nicely) You knew you were attempting to enter the states for purposes other than your intended visa, therefore you committed a crime at that point and are actually there with ulterior motives of not leaving once the education has completed. You need help from an immigration attorney, not people who are here trying to do things the right way. If you came here for help, you should have looked at some of the other forum posts where people tried to cheat the system or get illegal advice and see how they were responded too.

    Hi,
    Personally I think your best option is to look for another country to build your dream in. The fact that you're from Spain gives you way more choices than 90% of the people on this site.
    Ok, back to your question. Your husband is still on an F1 visa? And he's been a student here fore 4-5 years? May I ask what sort of degree he's studying for? You have to be aware that for the past couple years, there were too many applicants for H1b visa and the result was that now the application would go through a lottery process. If your husband has an advanced degree, such as a master's or above, the chance for him to get selected will be higher.
    And then, I'm not sure if you know this, but you can only apply for an H1b starting April 1 (unless you're working for a non-profit), and without an OPT, you would have to wait til Oct 1 to be authorized to work. Ok, so from today til Oct 1, 2015, your husband is not allowed to work. Do you think you can handle this with your financial issues?
    Btw, your husband is totally allowed to apply for an H1b, but it has to be in the same field as what his degree is in.
    A lot of people spend lots and lots of money to try to live and have a life in the USA, while I feel your pain, I'm sorry to say that sometimes it just doesn't work out for everyone.
    I personally came here on a student visa and obtained my master's degree at a top 30 university here, after graduation, I still had a hard time getting a good job. Eventually I was lucky enough to find an employer willing to sponsor me, and then was approved for my H1b visa. However, pay attention to the word "lucky", I have seen too many of my classmates who have been struggling to find employment and sponsorship, and in the end chose to return to their home country or seek other opportunities somewhere else.
    I know a lot of people have an American Dream, but the truth is, sometimes dreams don't come true. And who says that you can only have one dream? I'm saying this from the bottom of my heart, think about your children. What kind of future do you want for them? It's unfair to have them bear the name of "illegal immigrants." Anyway, from the way I see it, I don't think there's an immediate solution to your visa problem.
    Hope this helps.

    Well, like Hypnos said, you're going to encounter some incredible challenges if you attempt to do this.
    1st - Unless you plan on moving back to the Philippines and marrying your ex, you can't apply for a spousal visa because guess what, you are married right now to a U.S. Citizen. So for the spousal visa, you have to LEGALLY marry your ex again, either in the Philippines or here if he can get a visa, but again, if he goes through a Fiance visa, you have the interview where they'll see you were divorced and all the red flags will start popping up.
    2nd - At your adjustment of status interview, if your husband doesn't know about this and you LIE to gain citizenship to go through with this, you're going to be hit with fraud. You need to talk to your husband about this, because if at your interview someone sees two completely different people, one happy and the other miserable, they are going to do some hardcore interrogating.
    3rd - I know this website is about visa advice, but i'd like to think the people who ask for help have good morals. Reading your post, it seems like he loves your kids and you didn't mention any marital problems with the U.S. citizen himself, just that you want your ex back. I'm assuming at this point you have not told your husband, otherwise you wouldn't have stated that you wanted to divorce him after you got your citizenship. Think about the hurt and pain you may cause this person and the time and emotion he put into helping you come with him here and bringing your children, and loving them as you said. Again, this isn't a judgement, I just hope you considered how this is going to affect another human being who seems to love you and your children as his own.
    You really need to consider the situation you're facing. If you want to go through with this, you need to be honest to your U.S. husband so that if you do proceed with the citizenship procedures, everyone is on the same page with what is going on. To be honest, it does sound like you tried to evade immigration as Hypnos said, therefore i'm not sure how much constructive advice you may get as people do not want to assist someone in fraudulent activity.
    But, good luck to you, and I hope the best for your U.S husband, no one deserves this.

    Well, like Hypnos said, you're going to encounter some incredible challenges if you attempt to do this.
    1st - Unless you plan on moving back to the Philippines and marrying your ex, you can't apply for a spousal visa because guess what, you are married right now to a U.S. Citizen. So for the spousal visa, you have to LEGALLY marry your ex again, either in the Philippines or here if he can get a visa, but again, if he goes through a Fiance visa, you have the interview where they'll see you were divorced and all the red flags will start popping up.
    2nd - At your adjustment of status interview, if your husband doesn't know about this and you LIE to gain citizenship to go through with this, you're going to be hit with fraud. You need to talk to your husband about this, because if at your interview someone sees two completely different people, one happy and the other miserable, they are going to do some hardcore interrogating.
    3rd - I know this website is about visa advice, but i'd like to think the people who ask for help have good morals. Reading your post, it seems like he loves your kids and you didn't mention any marital problems with the U.S. citizen himself, just that you want your ex back. I'm assuming at this point you have not told your husband, otherwise you wouldn't have stated that you wanted to divorce him after you got your citizenship. Think about the hurt and pain you may cause this person and the time and emotion he put into helping you come with him here and bringing your children, and loving them as you said. Again, this isn't a judgement, I just hope you considered how this is going to affect another human being who seems to love you and your children as his own.
    You really need to consider the situation you're facing. If you want to go through with this, you need to be honest to your U.S. husband so that if you do proceed with the citizenship procedures, everyone is on the same page with what is going on. To be honest, it does sound like you tried to evade immigration as Hypnos said, therefore i'm not sure how much constructive advice you may get as people do not want to assist someone in fraudulent activity.
    But, good luck to you, and I hope the best for your U.S husband, no one deserves this.
