Just for my info …Does the Consulate in Russia require the I 864 for a K1.. not the usual I134 ? 

i dont know. he is filing based on the information he found online....

Also: Does it matter when we sign our i-864 and i-864a? The current version on USCIS says the form expires in September of 2021, and our interview is scheduled for August 2021. Should we wait to sign the forms until closer to the interview date? Does the expiration date of form shift month by month?

My fiancé is filling out an i-864 and, as a recent graduate, does not currently make enough to submit alone. So, his Mother is filling out an i-864a as a household member who earns over the poverty line considering their household size.

So our question is: on the i-864a, his Mother is including tax return transcripts for the most recent 3 years. BUT she filed joint federal income tax returns with her husband who is not intending on filling out an i-864 because his mother earns enough on her own. Does she need to include her W-2’s and 1099’s for each year even though she’s including transcripts? Do we need to include his Father’s transcripts and other forms even though his income isn’t being included for sponsorship? Do we have to have his Father submit an i-864a just because both of his parents filed their tax returns as joint spouses?

whats the moscow embassy's email? I can't find it online 😕

Can you pay before you go to the hospital to get tested? And do the people speak English or Russian?

People speak pretty good english from our experience. No russian speakers. Regarding the payment I'm not sure how things are now, we were there 4 months ago...

What was complicated about serbia testing? 

The hospital was really far from the city center where we were staying so we had to get there on a bus which is not ideal during the pandemic. Then turned out the only way to pay for our testing was at the post office 20 minutes away from the hospital. The price for 2 people was $291.

Hi! Turkey is a great place to meet, I have family in Instanbul.

Absolutely agreed! We loved Kadikoy the most

Yeah I've been apart from my fiance for ten months now. We are trying to figure out a way to meet but now that there is testing required to get back into the states it makes it a bit more difficult trying to get tested in a foreign country before coming home

Yeah we spent around $800 on testing total throughout out vacation. Most expensive and complicated testing was in Serbia (120 euro per person) Turkey didn't require a test. In Montenegro we got tested for 80 euro per person. I highly recommend Turkey! Istanbul was awesome. Montenegro was really good as well although Russians have to exit every 30 days.

Yes, just waiting. I'm happy, at least, to be with him in Russia and not separated but wooooo what a wait!

@BellsedaWooahh! Have you been staying in Russia since before the pandemic started? If not how did you manage to get here? You are so lucky!

We've been lucky enough to spend 4 months together in Turkey, Serbia and Montenegro last summer/fall after considering every option to get him to Russia. Having such an opportunity is a big privilige. Can't imagine being apart for as long as some people from here have to 😕

В общем, у кого аналогичные петиции, давайте держаться вместе и делиться опытом!

Привет невестам из России:)

Наконец-то спустя 250 дней нам одобрили петицию К1!

НОА1 - март 19, НОА2 - ноябрь 24.

Московское консульство, к сожалению, остается закрытым.

Предлагаю в этом топике делиться прогрессом и опытом по вашим петициям:

как продвигается, как двигаться дальше после одобрения, у кого что сколько занимает, какие документы собирать и тд

You're putting words in my post, I'm not demanding anything, I'm just disgusted at how long its taking compared to what a K1 used to take.

 

As for comparing this to a gift, a Gift does not involve money, when you collect money for anything, a product or service, that alone gives you certain rights, it's called a Contract, which in this case is subject to approval...  If BOTH parties meet that approval and you  paid a fee for it, you are entitled to it or have that money refunded to you.

A visa is a GIFT from US Citizens. It's not a right

not true. it's my human right to marry whoever I want

My fiance wasn't able to get on the plane to Russia in Istanbul, Turkey. I'm getting tested for coronavirus tomorow and flying to see him as soon as I get the results.

Here's the official order by the Russian Government stating only Turkish, British or Tanzatian nationals are allowed entry:

http://www.consultant.ru/document/cons_doc_LAW_347693/

P.S. His flight from PDX was around $660 + e-visa for 90 days was around $50

Oh and Russians are exempted from visa for their travels to Turkey up to 60 days.

Good luck stay safe.

DISRESPECTFUL.

Дарья, здесь никто не обладает большей информацией чем вы, такие же люди. Следите за сайтом посольства, почему другие должны преподносить на блюдечке, в чем проблема?

It means for whatever process you have a desire to be approved for, whether it's a credit card, a car loan, a driver's license, or a visa. 

The rules that are in placed are the rules. Trying to circumvent those rules by using what you think you should do to attain whatever it is you are trying to attain will not get you the approval. You must adhere to their policies or instructions.

 

So, the man who has the gold (gold = the power to approve) makes the rules (the rules or requirement to get whatever it is you want from them i.e. a visa). That is what is meant by the statement. Since you don't have the gold you can't make the rules to which you will abide by. If the instructions, ask for "red" and you submit "black" because you think it just as good as "red" but "the man" has his/her requirements for a reason hence their requirement for "red". Their reason you may not fully understand (this is where education about the requirements comes in handy) but to get what it is you are after you must follow their requirements. 

 

I hope this has given you a better understanding of the phase "the man with the gold makes the rules". Good luck and stay engaged. 

Thank you!

Remember this "the man who has the gold makes the rules".

Could you please explain that saying you always mention? what does it mean in this context

Congratulations Justin and Sara! You are so lucky to be together during this crazy time.

I signed mine, scanned it and emailed it to my Fiancée, who compiled the evidence. she's (hopefully) coming to the UK next month, and will bring an entire copy of what was submitted, ready for my interview (as long as all goes well).

Thanks for responding. Good luck with the interview!

The easiest way to do this (which is perfectly okay, and we did) is that you and your petitioner write separate letters of intent (they can be pretty much from the same template, but make sure yours says you intend to marry him, and his says he intends to marry you; these are not formal business letters and do not need to include addresses at the top even though most online templates do). You print yours out, sign it, scan it, email it to your petitioner, and he prints it out and includes it with his petition.

Thank you Dave!
