Russia, Ukraine and BelarusTravel to Canada
My wife is a Russian citizen and has her Green Card. Is she ok to go to Canada for a weekend visit? We want to go up there for a weekend and I don't really want any trouble on the way in or out of Canada.

There were only a few cars she liked. Beetles, Hyundai Tiberon's Toyota Celicas and yesterday she added Cougars to the list so we got a Red Cougar.


A 6-cyl sports car for a new driver? You guys are crazy. wacko.gif
6 cylinder sportscar? Isn't that a oxymoron?

Yesterday she flew through a red light. She has a hard time with intersections that are three way stops. She misses stop signs sometimes and can't find her way anywhere. We were a block from home the other day and she did not know where she was. She confuses left and right. I think she could very easily turn onto a 4 lane divided highway pulling in the wrong way and find herself driving against traffic.

Sounds about how my wife was. My suggestion is to take her to a driving school and not take all the stress yourself. I thought I could teach my wife to drive, but I would get so frustrated that I would make her mad and than she wouldn't want to drive anymore. I think it cost my wife about $300.

Seattle has a large Russian community. One of my wife's favorite websites used to be Russian Seattle (http://www.russianseattle.com). She's real big on CorbinaTV now.

Is your wife very fluent in English? Was she highly fluent in English on arrival to the USA? Does Washington give the written test in Russian?

My wife spoke very little English before she came here. She is very good at languages though. English is her fourth language. They offered the test to her in Russian, but she chose to do it in English. I'll tell her about the website. Thanks!

My wife had never had to drive in her life when she arrived in the U.S. Luckily she was able to find a job that is only a ten minute walk from our house. She eventually wanted to have her own car so we signed her up at a driving school. She saved up and bought her own car while she was learning. It took her a loooooooong time to be able to control the car. After many months of practice, she finally got her license. If my wife can do it, anyone can. Oh, and hello all. I haven't posted on here in ages.



The day she got her license.

Russia, Ukraine and BelarusRussian wife wants to get a job...but what is available?
My wife sat around for a while too when she moved here. She got a job in a retaurant really close to our house since she had experience in waitressing. Her English skills improved dramatically in a very short time. She knew very little English when she got here. She is pretty good at learning languages. English is her fourth language. I can barely speak one correctly. star_smile.gif

Maybe I'll get her to pose for me whn she gets home from work and take a few pictures to show everyone that UGGS can be sexy, especially if you have a hot wife.

Standing by.....

Here you go buddy. Go ahead give your wife the green light on some UGGS.

Those look sooo different than the ones I think everyone is talking about here. Those actually look good!

Yea my wife has a pretty good fashion sense. She has probably around 100 pairs of shoes/boots/sandals/etc. I finally moved all of my ####### out of the master bedroom closet and into the closet in one of the other bedrooms...haha. I imagine it won't take her very long to fill up her "new" closet space.

Here are the exact UGGS my wife has.

I don't know what the big deal is. My wife owns 2 pair of UGGS and neither one look like those ugly house shoes that all the teeny boppers wear. They actually look like regular boots with sheep skin lining and heels and she tucks her jeans into them. Maybe I'll get her to pose for me whn she gets home from work and take a few pictures to show everyone that UGGS can be sexy, especially if you have a hot wife.

Russia, Ukraine and Belaruswe should do a fun picture thread-of our reunions!

Guess I'll have to go find my file shrinker again.

Nah, Just go on photobucket and it's much easier.

Russia, Ukraine and BelarusIt Started
The ride will be over before you know it. I remember worrying and fretting that everything would get screwed up somehow and we would never be together, but it didn't take very long. It seems like just yesterday that I sent off the I-129 paperwork and now my wife is a U.S. citizen. Just don't worry too much and everything should be fine.

Maybe you could try this website. http://www.russianla.com/ My wife hasn't been able to find any Russian friends either even though there is a big Russian population in the Seattle/Tacoma area.

Russia, Ukraine and BelarusGuns and Pie

Mox, are you kidding about Texas? The state with the huge border with Mexico. Mexico, the country with bad guys slipping into Texas with drugs and thieves and and an assortment of unsavory men...all carrying guns to address those pesky border guards, the police, the rangers and other fellow drug dealers. Texas...the state with Mexico and other Latino drug cartel border gun fights on a daily basis. THAT Texas?

Same situation in Arizona. I think it has a higher violent crime rate than Texas.
