Russia, Ukraine and BelarusRussian Elections

Channel 1 in Russia isn't reporting any of this of course. It is kind of sickening to watch them showing the Nashi rally of support for the "clean elections" and tons of experts, including international, declaring that everything was done properly. Everyone on vkontakte (russian facebook) and live journal (the most popular blog site here) are sharing videos and photos of the ridiculousness.

Yeah, about those "Nashi rallies". For those, who can read Russian...
This is from vkontakte website:

Russia, Ukraine and BelarusHow long b/w interview and receiving visa in Moscow?

It depends on how you look at it. In my case I wanted my fiancee and her kids here ASAP. The significantly lower ticket price by buying well in advance, divided by the risk of not getting the visa as soon as expected, still figured out to be a wise 'gamble' compared to paying a much higher price to get tickets once the visa was in hand. And, in my case at least, it all worked out great! She had the visa only 4 or 5 days after the interview and that was in a city hundreds of miles from Moscow.

The delivery itself doesn't take that long - usually 1 day only, even if they have to deliver it to Vladivostok, but it takes them a while to print the visa. I had my interview on July 28, my visa was printed on Aug. 2 and was delivered to me on Aug. 3. As soon as I got the visa, I got my ticket - I flew to the States on Aug. 9 and the ticket cost wasn't that much - it was about $900 - a pretty decent price for the summertime.

It should be possible to pick up the visa in Moscow...
It usually takes from 2-3 to 7 days anyway...

You should always remember that buying tickets before the interview might result not in saving money, but in losing money. You never know the interview result - there might be some documents missing, or you can get stuck in AP. I always say that you only should make plans like that in advance if you're ready to spend MORE money, than you originally planned.

Russia, Ukraine and BelarusHow about this?!!!

The outdoor products companies are really starting to jump into women-specific products. Things like pink guns, bows, etc., are becoming more and more available. Women are starting to have hunting shows on TV and show up at trade shows, sporting good stores, etc., and womens shooting programs and outdoor classes are getting more and more popular every year.

Hunters safety courses are seeing as many girls as boys. In the next few years, we'll probably see hunting and shooting sports overtaken by women because women can outshoot the guys!

Yep! :yes:
There is a bass pro store 5 minutes from the house, so I've been looking at all that stuff :)

Russia, Ukraine and BelarusNeed some advice. Friend of mine met a Russian Lady

I just wanted to comment that if you are looking for a lady from FSR, vkontakte is good, mail.ru also - but you have to know russian for mail.ru or just use google chrome and its auto-translating goodness. Still, it helps to learn russian. And the good thing about vkontakte is they have a ton of movies even in english. I haven't seen a lot of scammers there, I guess they don't want to prey on russians.

I met my wife on mail.ru.

vkontakte is not a dating website, it's a social network, so there shouldn't be any scammers at all. SPAMmers only :lol:
On the other hand, a lot of girls would get mad if you try to talk to them on vkontakte. Again - it's not a dating website, so it's annoying when men, who you don't know, keep trying to talk to you.

There is no internet access in Russian libraries!

There is. Depending on a library.
In major libraries in big cities there is internet access, but it's never free (there was in my city - I used to live in Voronezh).
The thing is that Plesetsk is a small town in the middle of nowhere, there is probably one library for the whole town.

Anything else was already said in this thread, she's definitely a scammer.

Financial documents from the petitioner – a US citizen: please note, that Affidavit of Support (form I-134) is not required, but may be requested. Please submit financial documents to show that the applicant will not become a public charge in the United States. Such documents may include, but are not limited to:

Most recent year tax returns (form 1040) or tax transcripts from IRS
Copy of bank account
Earnings and leave statement
W-2 forms

It's better to submit I-134, they actually seem to always ask for it.
Income requirements are the same as for any other country (I believe, you can look it up on USCIS web site).
What I really would be worried about is providing for your fiancee after she gets to the USA and about having enough money to file for AOS. My husband makes way above poverty line - we're not struggling, but we're unable to do everything we want - at least before I get a job (be prepared to provide for your fiancee until she gets her GC or at least EAD).

You decided to post your history for a reason. I think it's reasonable to suspect you're defending your way of getting an American husband. OK, now we all know you're special.

Not really... I didn't see her before, I just knew she kept calling him, when we started dating.
My sister-in-law made my hair appointment - my husband made a mistake with trusting her with that :lol: I only found out that it was her the morning after the wedding. Glad my hair didn't fall out :lol: Screw my husband though - it's hard to go anywhere without running into a girl he used to date :bonk:

I general I agree with these statements. I read all the time about guys (always guys) who try and try again and again, make trip after trip and always something happens ..... And always it's the evil woman's fault......and I think to myself "I wonder if the man has anything to do with these results?"

I always suggest for him to make a new master plan, those that do meet with success and many do not and they provide continued entertainment.

Which is a big plus compared to Belarus. Then when your 90 days is up, you hop the border into Slovakia for a few hours then back into Ukraine and you get another 90 days. I wouldn't mind spending a few months in Ukraine during the summer months...if I was single that is.

Or you can go to Poland instead. Girls are pretty there too :)

Does that put you up on higher ground?

No, it doesn't and I didn't say that it did.

Maybe you used that J Visa to best advantage...or not.

I already mentioned here before what I got this J-1 visa for... I always wanted to travel... I always wanted to go to Britain (to Manchester), than to Spain, I still do - I'm a huge soccer fan. getting a British visa is tough - you need to travel somewhere else for that, going to the USA was the easiest thing. then I met my husband and I kept coming here for the summer to see him, so it pretty much screwed my traveling plans :( Oh, well, hopefully, we'll be able to travel together in a couple of years.

But I see your husband still did his pilgrimage to Russia like the rest of us.

If he didn't, I wouldn't have come here again. He never had a problem with women here, so it meant a lot for me that he went all the way across the world for ME :)

No one knows intentions. We're are all just putting out our stories...abridged, edited, embellished, twisted and spray painted. But good for you that you can be so legitimate and clean and separate from us scoundrels and peasants.

I didn't say any of that, nor did I edit our story.

I proudly own my station in this Russian MOB milieu...I'm a full-on fat, bald, horny, old guy who pathetically lusts after Russian women through the lowly mail order bride business. Too bad I can't put in "rich" to that list. Maybe that's why things went bad?

My husband is a handsome, fit, 25-year-old guy. When we just started dating I had to fight over him with his American ex-girlfriend. OMG, she is hot.... To be honest, she is hotter than me. She did my hair for the wedding :) :blush:
My husband is not rich, but he is doing very good for his age. I'm definitely proud of him.
Being rich or not rich is not critical... What really counts is the certain personal qualities, that might make you more or less successful.
You complain a lot though, VV. Too much.

No, I was not willing to move to the States, I made my husband to wait for me for 3 years. In fact, it messed up all my plans.

I don't think one person's experience can be taken as evidence. I'd look and see why you ended up with women with such negative personality traits and unhealthy attitudes toward relationships in the first place. As the saying goes, water seeks its own level. Something about you attracts and is attracted to these kinds of women.

I've been thinking that for a while. And the more VV's posts I read the more confused I become... It's like his wife is pure evil, but if you think about that - we only hear one side. Maybe his wife is complaining about American men all over Russian forums...
No offense, VV, I just believe that if there is a conflict - both sides are to blame.

Bathrooms in new trains are pretty clean. That's what it looked like on the train from my city to Moscow when I went there for the interview:

The new trains still have kupay and platzkart, but they also have carts with just seats in them.
And they are faster. A trip from my city to Moscow used to take about 11 hours, now it takes about 7 hours. They are cheaper too.

Also, me and my husband used to ride "CB" - they are more expensive, but they really look like a hotel room. My husband liked it, especially the tea-glasses :lol:

Russia, Ukraine and BelarusRussians not welcome in Copenhagen?

Perhaps their layover was for more time than they could've stayed in the terminal? (Overnight, for instance?)

My longest layover was about 12 hours. You can stay in the terminal for DAYS as long as you don't leave the transit zone (I know a girl, who got stuck in Rome for 2 or 3 days, because she'd lost her ticket - that was about 5-6 years ago, when e-tickets weren't that common yet).
ONAFemaleRussia2012-01-23 16:03:00
Russia, Ukraine and BelarusRussians not welcome in Copenhagen?

I do not think he is speaing f a layover, he is speaking of connecting flights. Not leaving the airport. EU generally allows ONE connection through an EU country without any sort of visa and would never require a Shengen visa to my knowledge, only a transit visa.

James have you checked this through another source? Are you sure the airline person is correct?

Our family (UKrainian passports) has changed planes many times through London (including bussing it from Heathrow to Gatwick with NO visa as long as you have a green card) Prague, Munich, Brussels, Budapest, Amsterdam, Frankfurt...never a problem

Yes, yes, yes, Gary is right. It has nothing to do with the EU rules. In fact, London lets you leave the transit zone if your layover is shorter than 24 hrs (or something like that). I traveled through Paris, Amsterdam and Vienna - never had ANY problem.
They should educate airport agents better.

Russia, Ukraine and BelarusInterviewing in Winter

My wife's medical experience was uncommon it seems, but you can never be sure with Russians. If possible, I'd play it safe and schedule the medical at least 2 days out. That may be difficult and probably unnecessary, but if you have the situation to go early, I'd do it.

That's a good advice for somebody, who doesn't have to go through annual medicals for work/school.
I had to go through some medical tests every year for the university, so I knew that everything was good and scheduled the medical 1 day before the interview. Otherwise, I would also advise to schedule it earlier.
ONAFemaleRussia2012-01-21 12:19:00
Russia, Ukraine and BelarusInterviewing in Winter

Yes, but unfortunately I read recently on Russian forums that security sometimes reject it even when you're showing that you're K-1 applicant, and they asking to take your place in the queue, I don't know why. Though, I also recently read that ther're some "side entrance" to the Embassy, and if your scheduled time passed and you still didn't get to come in, you can go there and they will let you go without a queue.

Even if they reject you, you don't have to go to the end of the line. Ask, who has an appointment for 8 am - that's your line, don't go any further than the last person, who has an interview appointment for 8 am. 30 min. will be enough anyway.

Personal belongings are not allowed in the consulate, so ditch the purse, handbag, etc. You will have to leave all that with them anyway and probably pay for its storage. In Kiev they have small lockups at security for keys, cell phone etc, but for bigger things you have to somewhere else and pay for them to keep it for you.

Purses are allowed inside. I had a purse, hundreds of women, who had their interviews the same day had them too - they just check them and you're good to go. They have small storages inside of the embassy in Moscow too - they don't care about keys or anything like that, only electronic devices - cell phones, iPods etc.

She should not arrive 2-3 hours before the interview, it's not going to help her.
K-1 applicants do not have to wait in line (the line is for other categories of non-immigrant visas: B1/B2, J1 etc.) - she should come directly to the security at the entrance and tell them that she is a K-1 applicant and she has an interview appointment for 8 o'clock.
My interview was in summer, I was at the embassy entrance at about 7.30 or 7.40 - I was just fine.

One thing to be very careful about, the US consulate REQUIRES the documents to be certified, it does not require them to be notarized, apostilled, stamped with Russian stamps or to be done in Russia. Alla has done a lot of "re-translations" for people whose translations were not certified even though they had all sorts of official stamps. (the FSU countries just love to pound stamps all over things, why give up the good part of the Soviet Union?)

They MUST have a certification from the translator as specified by USCIS and US consulates in addition to whatever colorful stamps they want to apply

The US consulate in Moscow does not require ANY certifications. I translated everything myself for the consulate, and the only certification was MY statement that "I am fluent in both English and Russian" and the "translation is accurate". And MY signature.
For USCIS I translated my birth certificate myself and asked a girl I know to certify it for me - she works in a language school and translates a lot of documents for different embassies to help exchange students get their visas (just in case). I know people, who did it themselves though.
I translated my diploma for ECE myself (got a Masters degree in Linguistics btw :dance: ).
I haven't had a problem so far. So, you really only need a translator if your English is not that good.

That's a good read you posted. Yulia was and is corrupt, and I wouldn't be surprised if she is guilty of all those things written about her in that article you posted. What she isn't guilty of is exceeding her authority by signing the deal with Tsar Putin for the gas. Ukraine got that gas well under the market price. If she had screwed anyone by signing that deal Yuskenko would have been the first one to say something seeing how he hates her guts...and for good reason. She's a back stabbing thief. But if your going to charge her with something, charge her for something she is actually guilty of.

This entire charade is old time Rus politics leading to repressive dictatorship. Russia, Belarus and Ukraine...all three of them run by old time criminals that are doing things the "old way".

It's just... the timing is interesting.

Russia, Ukraine and BelarusYulia sentenced

It Never Rains, but It Pours on Tymoshenko

MANHATTAN (CN) - Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, whose recent imprisonment on corruption charges in her homeland was denounced as political payback from her successor, faces a federal lawsuit here from a gas company that claims she owes it $18.3 million.
Tymoshenko, an economist, became wealthy in the gas industry before she became a leader of the 2004-2005 Orange Revolution, in which the rigged electoral victory of Viktor Yanukovych was canceled, and Viktor Yushchenko was elected president in a second round of voting.
Yushchenko fulfilled a campaign promise and appointed Tymoshenko prime minister, though political infighting caused him to dismiss her 7 months later.
She became prime minister again in a coalition government with Yushchenko in 2007, though the two became increasingly hostile to one another.
When their old political enemy Yanukovych defeated Tymoshenko in the February 2010 presidential election, Tymoshenko denounced it as rigged, though she remained prime minister under Ukraine's parliamentary system.
Yanukovych forced her from office and Tymoshenko became the administration's most vocal and visible critic. In an April lawsuit this year, Tymoshenko claimed the Yanukovych administration had dismantled Ukraine's independent judiciary by gaining the "allegiance of at least 16 of the 20 members on the Supreme Council of Judges."
Corruption charges against her followed, and on Oct. 11 this year, after a trial in which Yanukovych testified against her, Tymoshenko was sentenced to 7 years in prison for abuse of power, and was ordered to pay Ukraine $188 million.
The charges included claims that Tymoshenko had exceeded her power as prime minister by ordering Naftogaz, Ukraine's national energy company, to sign a natural gas deal with Russia.
Critics of Yanukovych claim he threw her in prison because she was likely to defeat him in the next election. Tymoshenko compared her sentencing to Stalin's purges. The United States, the European Union and Russia all condemned the verdict.
On Friday, Nov. 2, three weeks after her sentencing, Massachusetts-based Universal Trading & Investment Co. (UTICo) sued Tymoshenko in Manhattan, trying to collect on a 6-year-old judgment from another U.S. court.
In its 27-page federal complaint, UTICo accuses Tymoshenko of decades of corrupt dealings through her company, United Energy Systems of Ukraine (UESU).
"Tymoshenko became UESU's founder in 1995 and has become a garnishee unlawfully holding UESU's assets under her personal control," the complaint states. "Apart from her business activities, Tymoshenko has also engaged in a political career in Ukraine, twice rising to a position of a Prime Minister, using government positions to advance the interests of UESU. Both times Tymoshenko was removed from those positions on allegations of corruption. Tymoshenko has faced numerous criminal charges alleging bribery, conversion and fraud. In October of 2011 she was convicted in Ukraine was further charged, in a new case, with the financial crimes as the principal of UESU."
UTICo accused UESU of racketeering in Boston Federal Court in 1997. Discovery dragged on for almost 8 years until UTICo won an $18.3 million default judgment.
"[I]n connection with UTICo's judgment ultimately entered on July 7, 2005 of UTICo's judgment [sic], Tymoshenko intensified her efforts to circumvent its collection, acting in an enterprise with UESU," UTICo's complaint states. "When the outcome in UTICo's litigation was already clear, Tymoshenko paid $125,000 to an intermediary to bribe the judges of the Supreme Court to make a decision shielding UESU and its principals from liability. On information and belief, the sources was [sic] UESU's proceeds. It is well established in the public domain and follows from the charges in Ukraine that Tymoshenko paid other bribes to obtain decisions favorable to making UESU judgment-proof."UTICo claims that "Tymoshenko, illegally interfering into the judiciary in Ukraine, obtained on August 19, 2005 a decision, lifting the government's lien on UESU's assets for about $62.8 million. On November 18, 2005 Tymoshenko illegally forced the Supreme Court's closing all UESU-related charges."
UTICo demands the $18.3 million, and treble damages, on a slew of charges, including RICO conspiracy, conversion, unjust enrichment, and fraudulent conveyance.
It is represented by Peter Joseph of New York City and George Lambert of Washington.

What's going on?

Western Ukrainians pretty much hate both Russia and Poland and want independence from both. The problem is that there is NOTHING in the Western Ukraine, except for good universities and nice museums. So, unless you're a teacher or work abroad (a lot of them work in other Eastern European countries or in some Western European countries), you're pretty much a drunk.

Man purses aren't really necessary when you get around in a car. If you use public transportation, you need something to carry stuff if. Sometimes you don't need something as large as a full on briefcase. It's a matter of practicality. Obviously you chose something that doesn't have flowers on it.

I have no problem with the RUB forum being used for love letters but using one screen name makes it a little DID.

As far as things like "soul twin" or "second half," I find that phrases like that should only be used in an abstract sense when referring to an unknown future partner. It's a little weird when you're talking about an actual spouse or fiance(e).

Even though I'm an RU (Russian/Ukrainian) myself, I could never understand girls, who walk on icy pavements wearing stilettos - they don't look sexy, they look clumsy (or as we say "like a cow on ice"), or go to a picnic wearing high heels and tons of makeup.
I don't understand a lot of American women either - I mean what the hell is wrong with you when you're wearing flip-flops all the time? Or when they wear sweatpants to a store...
The good thing that in both Russia and the USA there are women, who can dress adequately.

Russia, Ukraine and BelarusEx Issues

Actually travelling to foreign countries is dirt cheap if done from Russia.

During her visit this past Oct/Nov, my wife and her sister, both jetted off to 10 days in Sharm el Sheik Egypt, all inclusive, airfare, hotel, food, (4 star) for $300 each.

A similar two week jount in Turkey would be $200 each. Italy would be similarly affordable; in fact my wife's new retirement plan is to live in her new flat in southern Russia and travel around from there on the cheap. I'm all for that!

I don't agree. Egypt, Turkey, Czech Republic, bus-tours to Europe are cheap.
Italy won't be that cheap, no way. Well, the flight tickets from Moscow and other European territories in Russia will be a lot cheaper than from the US, but look up hotel and tour prices - it's going to be the same price as it is for American travelers.

Russia, Ukraine and BelarusMoscow Interview

You sure it's not the other way around?

Both http://moscow.usemba...ivisas_doc.html and http://moscow.usemba...packet4-eng.pdf mention only DHL.

100% sure. My interview was in July - that's when they announced that there will be changes starting Sept. 1st. When I had my interview, it was still DHL, now it's Pony Express.
Those are old guides. Your wife should read the new guides, this guide in Russian has all the information about Pony Express: http://russian.mosco...packet4-rus.pdf
Go to http://www.ustraveldocs.com/ru/ for more information. Your wife will need to register on this website and provide the address for passport delivery.
