WARREN-IRINA

On June 10 2019 five days short of 8 years after arriving on K1 visa June 15 2011 Irina  sworn in as US citizen at USCIS in Salt Lake City Utah.  Husband Warren celebrates  first 3 ancestors arriving in Salem Mass. colony June 23 1629, 390 years ago.

AOS transfered to CSA 27 Feb.

Elena were you in Sears at the Newgate Mall about 3 PM 7 March with another Russian speaking woman? Or was that just 2 other Russian women Irina run into and Irina only said, "It is good to hear Russian spoken again".

Married July 2

Irina arrived at LAX June 15. She spent 3 hours in immigration and coustoms. She says she likes it here.

After I took her for a ride over 9000 ft high Monte Cristo Pass east of Ogden I found out she is just like my mother. High Mountain passes on senic highways scare her. Donners did not bother her as she was too busy taking pictures of snow driffs.

Irina left by train at 1PM Kaliningrad time (12 June) for Moscow to visit her aunt and friend Luda of 40+ years. Flies out of Moscow 1PM 15 June. We are honeymooning home from LAX. Stopping to visit her 2 nieces in the Bay area on the way home. We will be here in Utah next Sunday, then get married June 21.

Elena good luck and we will see you here soon as Nick lives 40 K from me. Just don't let them confuse you as they tried to do it to Irina.

I sent her the ticket for her birthday. She will arrive at LAX 15 June on Aeroflot 321 NON STOP from Moscw. She said she is no where near ready to come.

Good LUCK!!! Hope all goes well. Looking forward and hopping to meet you as I have plans to show Irina the Sawtooth Mts. and Hells Canyon of the Snake River.

We have to get together when both of the girls get here. Thanks She said she will email me a date when she is ready to come. She owns her apartment and is trying to figure out what is best with it. Then it is Aeroflot nonstop Moscow to LAX. I'll meet her there. I can drive there while she is in the air.

Text Message came today While I was hauling scrap metal to Nucor.

Darling Warren today I get passport from embassy with visa!!! Love you Irina

That is is the best text message I have got ever.

Bob I run high side & low side end dumps, belley dumps w/ pup and flat beds. Last Thur. afternoon I loaded a 40 ft high side with scrap metal 78,840. Rain & snow all night I was 79880, 34300 trl, at the Perry port of entry. When I dumped there was a river that run out of the trailer.

Job before this was 81,600 sq ft building we hauled to the dump so they can build a new FBI buildi...

Dogsopt Irina contacted DHL today and I copy. "They told noboby sent with this number" So I guess i has not been issued yet.

Nothing yet. Right now I am back to working the 14-16 hour days I did 30 years ago which means I am not keeping up to date on what I need to do with the visa. One thing for sure if she dose not get the visa the embassy will see me filling out the standard affidavit form (svidetel'stvo) to apply for marriage in Russia.

The embassy sent packet 3 March 19, which is papers that you need to send back to the embassy before you go for the iterview. It arrived in Mamonovo March 29 and she was in Moscow as she had to take her medical on March 28 so she could pick up results March 29 or the interview at embassy March 30. Nothing on the visa yet.

This is not an APRIL FOOLS JOKE. Irina got her packet 3 from the embassy yesterday. 2 days after her interview.

No she lives in Mamonovo in Kaliningrad Oblast in the south west corner about a mile from Poland.

The 4th invite I had Irina end Fed EX. I spent 47 day with Irina to find out if she was what she said she was. I have found no lies or any other red flags about her.

It is a fact that the 3rd invite was 'lost' in he mail 61 days and had been opened when I got it. An other fact was the posmaster had a friend that keep coming to my house trying to start a relationship at the same time the invited was 'lost' in the mail until after I was to have been in Russia. Postmaster stepped out on her husband for years before he divorced her.

They have her passport. Big things they questioned her on was my 3 pasted divorces. Why it took 5 years from first meeting on internet. My answer to that is I was gun shy after being taken 3 times by greedy American women after a good 23 year marrage that ended in death, plus 2 invites cancled do to knee and hip replacement and the 3rd that somehow ot lost in the mail for 61 day.

I cold not get passed the all circits busy signal while she win Moscow but twice and that was the afternoon after and she was very upset... I am gone from 4AM to at least 6PM MDT so calling was not working. She came home today while I was at work and was asleep when I got home. I will find out more this weekend. She has not been on the intenet either as she has not opened the 6 ecards I sent her.

No answer yet. Irina was very quite when I talked to her. She said they did not say yes or no. I know they have to look through the paper work she gave them. I have to leave for work so I will find out more later. I am hauling away an old building so a NEW building can be built for the FBI in Salt Lake City. I am doing 14 hour days from the time I leave for work until I get home right now.

Irina texted me Tues. morning that her interview is 30 March

The other MAJOR HAPPY NEWS is I was told this morning my 5th great grandchild is on its way. ONLY PROBLEM is the MOM, my graddaughter is an avid hunter, deer, elk and moose, both bow and rifle and due in October. Knowing her I will say it may be born on a mountain side. She works in a pediatrician’s office so maybe the Doc will slow her down some.

Irina texted me this morning that her interview is 30 March. My internet was down for 32 hours. All West said it was not due to Irina forwarding to me, her email from the embassy in Moscow. Nor the fact I was on the embassy web site at the time I lost the internet during All West's regular maintenance work that turned into a major spotted server glitch they have no answers for why it happen...
