Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Russian TV in USA & Russian Keyboards	QUOTE (Jeff and Tatiana @ Sep 22 2009, 07:40 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have been surfing around the web and searching for Russian TV in the USA. I have found a few options, figured I would share with everyone and if they had other options then I am all open for that too! Russian TV in the USA is basicly 3 choices, Satalite (independant PanSat), Cable (Dish, Direct TV) and IPTV. The pansat type of stuff (http://www.pansatusa.net/), where you use a mini dish, decoder box and such, in my case as the satalite I would need to hit is so far away, in Texas I cannot see it, if you are east coast, then you may be fine. Number 2 would be Direct TV or Dish Network or Cable whatnot, offering other language channels, they do have some Russian. But, they are limited and for the most part are limited rebroadcast of whatever they choose to show. Not what I am needing. So the 3rd choice, IPTV. Now, of course watching your shows on your computer is not the most ideal, but I have now found a few companies that are offering a IP/TV setup box. This is of course connected and configured to the IPTV network provider you have signed up with and you get darn near EVERYTHING!! It is great, just like a usual cable bill each month, you can choose from Russian, Ukraine and many others. The one I am thinking of using has even Russian Language Movies on demand! So it is probably the one I will go with. Here is the links: http://larutv.com/ (One I will probably use) http://nashdomtv.com/ I am sure there are even more than this, but the LaruTV is great value you just get more channels for the money and they offer a lot of packages. Now my question to everyone else out there. If your bride wants to "chat" with her parents online, she is used to using a Russian Character Keyboard. What brands, models, types have you found? Where did you buy them at? How does it actaully work? Do I have to just temporarly change the language on the OS to be Russian? I have found some stuff online myself, but I am a bit fuzzy as to how they actually work, so anyone who has practical knowledge please share!! Thanks!!

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	I-130 Where is it?	QUOTE (wiz1205 @ Nov 24 2008, 08:33 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi guys! I sent my I-130 to the Chicago lock box on 11/12/08. I'm getting worried that it got lost in the mail or that there is something wrong with it. I sent it with delivery confirmation through USPS. Though I have yet to receive the green slip back. I plan to call USPS. Anyone have any ideas? Just wait. Chicago office has different address than you saw online. Post office knows that. Plus Chicago will mail it to Vermont and you will have NOA1 from them. Then immideatelly apply for form I-129F.	Svetlana	Female	Russia	2008-11-26 12:43:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	I am missing my Husband	QUOTE (VanPhoenix @ Nov 25 2008, 06:37 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I cant wait to all this visa process finish ! I have sent the G 325 form , ou marriage certificate translated, photos for him last week , now his taking care of I 13O form and hopefully by next week he will send the package . Sometimes I feel frightned for all we go through to proove that our marriage is true , I have been reading many pots with visa denials and sometimes we can understand what they want from us cause most of those people that got their visa denied had many proofs and wasnt enough for them . We are doing everything right and with care , I cant wait to be with him . Like for him come live here with me he needed to quit the 2 jobs that he has there to try another job here in Brazil , that would be insane dont you think ? cause the situation here in Brazil is not good at all for us Brazilians to find good job this scares him a lot , leaving the 2 jobs , the possiblity to have a good married life with some quality . Well I am jus here open my heart to share what I am feeling ok ? Cause all this visa process is so unfair and makes us wait long time to be with the one we love . I pray not only for me but for all those who are waiting that we may recieve our visas soon and we may have our family together. Hi Vanessa, Yes, you have to mail marriage certificate with your package in English with notary. You will be lucky if your case will go to California, not in Vermont which takes forever Good luck, Svetlana	Svetlana	Female	Russia	2008-11-30 10:48:00

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	NO touches, NO approvals for the week of Dec. 8th	QUOTE (antiwaiting @ Dec 8 2008, 11:13 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> u are all ungrateful. as for me, I know VSC changed my life. what was I before VSC? the kind of normal person, working mon-fri, running errands, waiting for the weekend to come, enjoying weekends, hating mondays, hoping for short fridays. not much fun. but since crossing path with VSC, I am changed. my whole view changed. I love mondays, when I imagine the VSC engine starting to move, I wish for long fridays, I hate weekends when nothing moves. I am not wasting weekends having fun anymore. no, I am counting the hours for monday to come. I dont let any day pass without spiritualy evolving either. I developed new ways to pray, hope, curse, read fortune, my bag of superstitions increased, i almost invented spells, I watch for signs, I keep all my lucky items with me all the time... thinking to get a voodoo kit soon. just if now VSC wouldnt screw up and end this enlightening phase in my life, in 2-3 months I am sure Id develop a teleporting machine too. I d get there, Id get rich. the way I see it, if Id get approved now, would be just VSC in the way of my spiritual evolving and inventions. and Id be forced to go back to the small routine of enjoying life. and whats worse, I might get normal again. I bet on 3 approvals and I really hope none of those will be mine. and to share from my useful set of superstitions, we think nothing that starts in a tuesday has a happy ending. no monday approvals, so I hope nothing will happen today either. You are sooo lucky that your days is coming soon! I am wondering to be so sad about Vermont are you going to do 129 or 130 visa after approval?	Svetlana	Female	Russia	2008-12-09 15:16:00
