I would like to chime in here.....I have been an Ukrainian expat for more than three years. I have learned the culture and language well.

You are being scammed.....All the stuff she is telling you is BS. Cut all ties and don't answer her......sorry but move on. PM me if you want to learn more

First off, you don't supply anything. Everything that is required comes from the applicant. Google sample DS-160 to see what the visa request looks like. And be honest

A fraud is a fraud, and can come from any country or culture. We have all been cautious while dating in the international scene. Maybe we get taken a few times to learn the ropes and the rules of international dating. As it has some pitfalls, it also has some of the greatest rewards and blessings. 

The best way in my view to overcome the red flags is to build a strong foundation to your relationship....you can overcome anything. Just prepare yourself before hand. Take your time, learn each other, visit the home country, travel together and have fun!

Study about where your partner comes from....learn the traditions and some native language.

Read up on age-gap relationships and build your future. Don't let anyone step on your dreams, only you know what is right for you, follow your heart, but keep your eyes open.

Your suspicions will turn into trust

Tick the box "no".....In almost all cases you will have your medical to turn in at interview. It becomes part of the package you turn over at POE. In our case there was a copy of the vaccinations and X-ray disc for our records.

When your passport is "swiped" at the airport it becomes record regardless if stamped or not

5 months for AP is not long at all.....look for the AP threads.

Mark, If you are close to the gulf coast check out the fishing/shrimp boats for a job

We used assets only.....I show negative on my taxes. If you would like to know more, I will share with you in a PM but not in the open forum....let me know

I am not sure but if you got a NVC CC you already sent packet 3 and 4.....Documents on the check list, DS-260 and financial documents.

You have 6 months to enter USA from the date of your medical

Does her internal papers use her fathers name with the gender changes?.....

google....sample DS-160 visitors visa

oops....sorry

I know each embassy is different on what they except. When we filed with assets only, the interview letter said to bring a co-sponsored I-864 to interview.

At first, we only showed a few assets that were liquid and well past poverty levels...more than 10X. They didn't like that.....We loaded up our guns and brought deeds and property taxes for 5 investment properties that are paid for. The deed to our US residence and the pay off letter from the mortgage company. Statements from 4 investment accounts, 2 money market accounts, 2 checking accounts and my IRA account for the last year. They excepted that at interview without a new I-864.

The problem with a joint checking account is you are not the soul owner.....Also is known that some people move money around for visa's. That is one reason they want to see past statements with history. I am not sure about this, but also they would like to see future stability....A checking account is not that.

Some people here at VJ used assets only for AOS......hopefully they will chime in and you can get a better idea on what is needed. In my view (having been through the process) I don't think a joint checking account is going to cut the mustard.

My wife and I used assets only.....They wanted to see statements back a year to check stability. My wife and I jointly own these assets. I am not sure how they feel about third party assets

This is just my 2 cents......When looking for a job in the US, use all of your talents....like your native language.

It is a lot cheaper to do this the legal way.....A ban would be at least emotionaly expensive if not more.....Being honest and forthright gets you a visa.

I am sure you can get creative for a US address....Parents, siblings, friend or the town drunk on the corner. Some how you can find an address.

We have all been through the process, and to put it politely it just sucks.

One thing in your favor, you are together. File for a K-1, get the visa, travel to USA together, get married and get a job

I hope this helps you.....

I am a expat that lives in Kyiv.  When my wife and I dated, she applied for a visitors visa. She was in her late 40's and had the same job for 18 years. Owned 3 flats, had bank accounts and has a great travel history. She was honest when asking for visitors visa. She wanted to travel to USA to visit her bf and she was going to stay at my house.....She was approved.

My step-daughter applied 4 months ago to visit us in USA and was denied.....Next week she will try again. We are now living 7 months in USA and 5 months in Europe. I have Ukrainian PR papers and daughter is registered to our address and supplied the information on the DS 160 form...

I do know if your gf is young and lives in the east (conflict area) you should save your money and forget about a US visa

I used my original birth certificate.....I was born in the early 1950's.....it is yellowish brown and almost crumbles apon touching it...like any historic document you can barely read it

She has what is needed.....for us, it was about 3 minutes in secondary. Stamped passport, and "welcome to the United States Mrs T"...you can leave out that door

You the petitioner will send I-864 along with the NVC package. For us the NVC package was almost the same information we sent USCIS...The I-864 took a bit to put together

Did you submit form G-325 for both of you?

Please XXX part of your number.....This is private information that you do NOT want to be made public

People here on VJ have been busted at POE having another bf/gf on the phone when they have been sponsored by another USC.....For years they can ask for your phone to view what ever they want

We had a similar problem. My wife's SSN was to new and had no history. We tried a different branch.....and they opened up an account. Before we were married, Chase opened up an account with only International Passport....hope this helps 

 18 USC 1546(b) for false attestation on an employment verification form, or 42 USC 408(a)(7)(A) for misusing a social security number obtained by fraud, or 42 USC 408(a)(7)(B) for falsely representing a social security number. A conviction for any of these offenses might have immigration consequences in the sense that it could be considered a crime involving moral turpitude (CIMT), which is a ground for inadmissibility that would bar an alien from getting a green card. If an alien admits committing these offenses, he could still be inadmissible even without a conviction.
