Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	The movies you wanted to share	QUOTE (Thomas-n-Elena @ Aug 24 2009, 12:49 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We have both loved and hated each others movie. Every movie I like is stupid Every movie she likes is the most wonderful thing. Lena's not big into classics although she like Citizen Kane, Buckaroo Banzai not so much. Liked Escanaba in da Moonlight,Gran Torino(lots of explanation) Lord of the rings, Batman(new ones), anything with Swarzenager in it. I have enjoyed Peculiarities of the National Fishing, Ivan the Terrible in the 20th century, and many others. has she shown you viy....or 12 chairs...viy is russian horror written by gogol,and 12 chairs is comedy	sivad	Male	Russia	2009-08-24 12:35:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	The movies you wanted to share	QUOTE (slim @ Aug 23 2009, 09:47 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (AKguy @ Aug 21 2009, 03:07 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'd like to report back that Hitman was a success. Sure I had to pause it 20 times so I could explain what was going on, but it was worth it. Half that movie took place in Russia. Why did you have to explain anything? The best line in that movie was when he told her to shut up or he'd put her back in the trunk. Well, that and, "it's not polite to stare." Bond girls rock! QUOTE (baron555 @ Aug 21 2009, 07:28 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I always look at the authenticity of the guns in those type of movies. My personal favorite is when they start off the scene with a 9mm and end up with a completely different 45 or something. I almost forgot - Red Dawn. That movie played a huge roll in my cold war conditioning..... and subsequently required me to do a little investigative work once I came in contact with Russian women. I had to see if they were as bad as they were portrayed to be in the movie. They seemed allright to me! how did she like red dawn????	sivad	Male	Russia	2009-08-23 23:17:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	The movies you wanted to share	QUOTE (mox @ Aug 20 2009, 11:35 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The Big Lebowski translated pretty well, as did some classics such as Casablanca and Roman Holiday. Army of Darkness not so much. try translating 'triumph the insult comedy dog" lolololol,she got most of the humor,but not all,she says 'he is rude dog' and of course that is the point of him...lolololol she also made me watch admiral,a russian big budgeted movie,google it ,it is like thier saving private ryan,with a love story thrown in there. and i am saving caddyshack until she understands english alot better than she does.	sivad	Male	Russia	2009-08-21 10:49:00

We have all the documents, med exam etc.. For proof of ongoing relationship I told Sveta to print some of our emails throughout the last year as well as getting a log of the bazillion text messages we have sent and the lovey dovey greeting cards I have sent her. We talk by phone at least once per week but I have always bought these "international phone cards" since they were super cheap so I assume I could bring a few of those for her to show as well. We only have a few photos of us together and some of me and her mom and her son etc... I assume I should bring those as well as my boarding passes and visa etc..from my last trip to see her? Is there anything else Im missing to prove an ongoing relationship? Sounds good to me. That's what I sent and our interview is also on Sep 28. Let's pray for that to be a good day for both!

Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	question on behalf of a friend.	QUOTE (1HappyGuy @ Sep 14 2009, 01:20 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I assume you mean he doesn't have a personal checking account. However, if he is self employed, he will need to provide bank statements for about a year showing that he does in fact receive (deposit) enough income to support the number reported on his tax returns. Since self employed people do not receive W-2's the USCIS wants to insure that there is enough money going into the business account to properly reflect the amount of gross income reported on the business part of the tax return. I guess they automatically assume that self employed people will lie about their income. he manages a applebees.	sivad	Male	Russia	2009-09-14 12:26:00

QUOTE (Steve S @ Sep 22 2009, 08:35 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> In Cheljabinsk there is a great place where you can have 2 hours private sauna for only about 50 bucks. Not traditional Russian banja I guess (never have been, but I have read those involve beatings on the back). It had 2 levels, with stereo and pool table, cold 5-foot deep pool, whirlpool, shower and sauna. There are also 2 bedrooms, and they display beer and condoms for sale in the lobby. I tried searching for an amazing date or party place like this in Atlanta but only came up with sauna and pool retailers, or Asian spa places. i live here in atlanta,there are 2 choices,,,,,,,,,asian places....or chateau elan.asian places are a little unsavory to go to.chateua elan is expensive	sivad	Male	Russia	2009-09-22 11:42:00

PM me if this could be possible. And thanks again to all on this forum for answering many of my questions! i am in the 30 k range,it should be no problem,there must have been something more.i know you have to hit 21k to his 125%of poverty level,so that might be problem.is she on the russian forum in her country,i can give her marinas url,if they do not already know each other.....lolololol	sivad	Male	Russia	2009-11-01 23:22:00
