Can't any of the pinned threads be merged?

I think the Pet thread gets a lot of attention and it would be a shame to see it drop down, but I agree this information needs to be somewhere it can be easily accessed.


The Capt is doing a site update soon. Maybe he can work it so that more than 4 topics can be pinned.

Such a shame we can't get this subject pinned....it is so crucial, London is woeful in giving this info out clearly from the beginning of the process and often causes people delays/last minute panics.


Just to add....I know pets are important in peoples lives, but maybe it sacrificing that pinned thread for this information would serve better for people visa journeys? Just a thought.

Hi! I renewed my passport without any countersignature, they do advise it if you look very different from the photo in the passport....I do look very different than I did 10 years ago but I think that maybe visa photo that was also in my passport may have overcome that I don't know, but I had no problems.

Just a quick update. Payment was taken out on Friday 4th June, I did write a pleading letter, it must have touched someones heart because I got a phone call this morning to say they have processed the passport and it will arrive tomorrow morning and they gave me the tracking number too! I'm so pleased I will get to see my dad before he has his op on Monday...what a relief.

Russia, Ukraine and Belarusex-husband's permission for child to leave the country?


jaylen_brit is correct in saying that this what US Immigration NEEDS. It doesn't really matter what the law in your fiance's country states. The US Govt. wants to ensure that the K1 Visa holder has the legal right to take a child to reside in the US.


You contridict yourself fairly badly here... You state it doesn't matter what the law is in the fiance's country and then say the US government wants to ensure the Visa holder has the legal right to take the child. They have to have legal rights in their country.

So yah, this really has everything to do with Russia's laws and nothing to do with anywhere else.



I kind of figured it had everything to do with the laws of the country you are trying to enter.....If immigration ask for written permission from the other parent then so be it....

Bar/nightclub, IMO not exactly a healthy way to meet someone, unless you are looking for an alcoholic.

hmmm....I met my husband in a bar....and we have a very healthy relationship... :unsure: just because ppl frequent bars doesn't make them alcoholics :rolleyes:


You're right. It just makes them drunks! ;)

Russia, Ukraine and BelarusHow did you meet?

I don't have issues with how people meet - why would I care how people live their lives, it's none of my business. I don't assume nothing, but I have seen some horrific posts here, where men were talking about how they would go to Russia to meet like 3 women who they write to, and then decide which one is better. It makes me feel really bad, you know.

Actually, I met my husband online too, and it turned out to be a great relationship. And more to that - whenever he mentions that his wife is Russian, he always gets that: "Oh, congratulations! You got yourself one of those mail-order brides!" It really hurts to hear things like that, and I do have issues with marriage brokers - I saw a few sites on international dating, and I just got the impression that they treat women like a commodity. Sorta, "Look how many beautiful Russian girls we have here, they will all love you for who you are, come and pick one!" I happen to think that marriage brokers exploit people, and I wanted to voice my opinion on that. And I got all those insults in response... I come to this forum to share information and to seek help in all these immigration issues. But when I decided to speak my mind on something that really botheres me, I get insulted like that... I don't even want to post here any more, cause it really hurts bad when people call you stupid because you said something they didn't like.


You speak as if Russian women are victims in this......couldn't all you have said go the other way too? I don't see any 'exploitation' and if there is I think it is a 2 way street....as long as everyone goes in with their eyes open what is the worry?

I hope that your divorce papers come through before you leave. Is there a way for someone to send it to you in case it comes in a few days after you have left?


Unfortunately that would probably be my soon-to-be ex-wife. I'm not sure I can count on her. I'm thinking of going to the court and leaving a pre-paid Fed-Ex envelope with them.


Good idea :thumbs:

Glad to hear there is finally light at the end of your tunnel....have a great reunion with Fely :D

and remember shonjov...wasnt she in like AR for 2 yrs, then her husband was denied, and they had to file a waiver. Now to me, thats worth b1tching about.
I waited a year and a half, the last few months of my pregancy, gave birth by webcam so he could see his son being born, then raised our son alone for his first year. It was painful, real painful especially since i didnt have the opportunity to go see Edi during the process bc i was working a full time job and taking care of an infant, but i took it one day at a time. and hes here now, has been here 2 years and 6 months this month

I am sorry to read your pain. But, the time I have spent here on VJ, I have seen people who have had heartbreaking waits in this this process. Also, keep plugging away at any resources you have to hurry things along. Always keep a perspective in your situation, I know you said this
" My home that I made for myself? Not speaking the language of the country, not being able to work, not being familiar with where things are. Most importantly, what about my friends and family? And my cats? and my fish that live in our pond? And what the hell would I do as a stay at home wife with no kids? I'd go mad with boredom!"
But this is what most us who relocate to the US feel at first.
