  1. I filed I-485's last week for my wife and daughter... then when I was putting paper in the printer, the last 3 pages of my I-864 came out. I actually filed with a joint sponsor just because last year I was working part-time and close to the limit... but anyway, the last 3 pages of my I-864 included the signature page which I did not include. There are two I-485's, two I-864's (me and co-sponsor), I-94's, money orders, marriage license and lots more in the package... it was a LOT of work to do it all and assemble it all. I do not want to have it rejected because of one missing page. Rather than wait and hope for the best, can I just send along the missing pages somehow, or even send a replacement I-864? If not, will I get an RFE for the signature page or will they reject the whole thing for this?
  2. Two things I forgot to mention. My interview was scheduled for 8am too, I figured we'd be outta there maybe in an hour. We arrived at 7:45am and there were only a few people in front of us. Well, she was still in there for just about 3 hours, and none of the people who went in right around 8am with her came out sooner than 2 hours, so plan on it being a while. Also, when they were fixing to open the doors, a girl walked up and down the line with a sign that said "8am" and took everyone with an 8am appointment and put them in the front of the line, then did the same with a sign saying 8:30, and then saying 9am... so honestly there is no point really in showing up early, certainly no more than a few minutes. EDIT: I should make a separate post about my experience with the doctors office in Warsaw. What an absolute freaking FIASCO and totally uncaring and unprofessional. That guy should be fired from working for the embassy ever again!
  3. We did Russia -> Thailand -> Greece -> Poland -> USA but that was more because of the war breaking out and me wanting her and my daughter to get the heck out of Russia ASAP in case they closed borders or before plane tickets skyrocketed any further. That meant we had several weeks to kill before the interview so we did 3 in Thailand, 2 in Greece and 3 in Warsaw. In my opinion, minimize your time spent in Athens, the place is a dump. Thailand was picturesque and very inexpensive... Warsaw is gorgeous and comparatively inexpensive to the USA.
  4. My fiancee and I are in Poland right now and had our K1 interview last Thursday (May 5th). To answer your questions 1) Not so much problems, just some general "huffyness". The woman at passport control was very nice when she saw my little daughter but then started to scowl when my fiancee pulled out a Russian passport. A worker at Sephora refused to help my fiancee find some makeup she was looking for as she recognized my fiancee's accent, made a comment about Ukraine and said she can't help and walked away. 2/3) Her interview was only 10 minutes long and they focused on the birth certificate of my daughter where I am not listed. That's because I was not a US citizen when she was born and she was born in Korea. Long story but they kept harping on how she shouldn't be coming on a K2 visa if I am the father and I am a US citizen. Finally they understood and all was OK but every... single... person brought it up and made a big deal about it. I was worried about affidavit of support (I did not bring tax returns or pay stubs, just a 1099 for my side job and letter from my employer, they were fine with that). 4) We still have not got the visa, today is Tuesday at 1pm here. We did have to drop off daughters medical results on Friday. They told us the visa will be issued this week... fingers crossed, I am mildly nervous as flights are booked for this Saturday. 5) We said we would pick it up at the drop box, which is a Mail Boxes Etc store that's a ways outside of town, over by where the doctors office is. 6) She entered the EU in Greece and we stayed in Athens for a couple of weeks before coming to Poland. 7) FYI my fiancee got a lot of grief entering Greece. She had an ongoing flight booked to Poland and a further flight to the USA. Their problem was that she did not have a USA visa and her Greece->Poland flight didn't take her out of the schengen zone, so basically she had no concrete proof she was returning to Russia or that she could actually leave the Schengen zone. They ultimately relented but in hindsight I might have tried to book a fully refundable ticket somehow from Warsaw to somewhere outside the Schengen zone that she can enter without issues (like Thailand) so they could shut up about the matter. It seems things are tightening up... they are getting more strict and Poland has said they want to stop issuing schengen visas to Russians period... so just make sure you leave no stone unturned or leave any opportunity for them to deny you/her travel. They don't give a ####### that you are here for diplomatic/embassy business at the border... they seem to be extra-scrutinizing Russians.
  5. On your first part, yes I hope they will do just that. It has been a looooooong road to get this far to have things get delayed at the finish line. On your 2nd point, I booked changeable/cancellable flights in case the visa doesn't get done in time. Just supposed to be back at work Monday, although this comes first obviously. Thanks for the info.
  6. Thanks, got medical docs for fiancee... docs office is sending over docs for child tomorrow, hopefully the visa will just issue a little bit delayed.
  7. So I am sitting in Warsaw right now with my Russian fiancee and our daughter. We had the medical tests last week and they were going to call me when the packet was ready for pickup but said it would likely be on Wednesday (today). I called them today and they told me a further test will be necessary before the doctor can sign off on the medical exam (doesn't matter the details of that). My question is - if my fiancee and daughter go to the appointment tomorrow without the medical docs, what will happen? I know they won't issue the K1, but will they allow us to have a "follow up" appointment next week or something? We have been waiting for this appointment since December and the next available on Warsaw's website is not until November. My fiancee's schengen visa is good through the end of the month. It was a hassle to get out of Russia for her and getting back will be almost impossible (not to mention Poland wants to stop issuing schengen visas.... we've spent countless thousands of $$ on this and have flights to the USA booked for this weekend (an assumption I know but needed to show departing flight from Europe for Fiancee to get into the country, even then it was a hassle). So the question is, is there any way to get a "follow up" appointment for sometime next week? I can delay my flights and travel plans but fiancee going back to Russia and waiting 6+ months is not an option.
