They told me to ring back in 2 days when we were on our way out of AP, that was on the Monday - when I rang on the wednesday they said it had been sent on the Monday so maybe they can see that its waiting to depart but aren't allowed to say till its gone? yes, it could be.. I think so.. we will call on Monday and hope it will go out of AP	Joe & Nadya	Male	Ukraine	2009-03-20 15:47:00

How would the medical exam effect the AOS? Couldn't we just get another medical exam here in the US if the date needs to be more current for the AOS? My fiancee is extremely healthy so we'll have no problem, but the 18 hour round trip train ride to Kiev is no walk in the park. Best wishes on your journey.. You are welcome! Jam I will give you one link where you will read all info about next step after marriage and why you will need this medical package from Kiev.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)	STUCK @ NVC for AP	QUOTE (MashaJam @ Mar 20 2009, 11:50 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Anyone know how long a K1 medical exam is good for for the embassy in Kiev, Ukraine? I have heard the police certificate are good for 6 months, any thoughts? I asked my fiancee to gather everything in advance and she passed the medical exam already. Didn't know about that the NVC could further delay our case. I don't have any criminal history but my name is similar to a pop singer's, and I have had 2 traffic citations in the past. My fiancee's personality test (Brigg's & Myer & Jung test ) is the same as Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr., Nicole Kidman, Jerry Seinfeld, Jimmy Carter to name a few. And I, and everyone who knows her can confirm this. My fiancee is a real sweetheart that will help make this world a happier place to live. And I truly believe she is not a threat to our national security. If your fiance is healthy its valid 1 year, if not 6 months.

Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Strange Superstitions?	1) It's a no-no to whistel a song indoors. 2) When going on a trip, always sit on the couch for a few minutes in silence before leaving the house. 3) Always holding the glass with the left hand when making a toast (or is it the right hand? I never know).	Joe & Nadya	Male	Ukraine	2010-02-15 12:18:00

Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	I married a woman, not a country	Re-opening this thread that was deleted by a rogue modtard. Let's see how long it takes before it gets locked...or removed completely... P.s.: I'm still trying to figure out the reason to why the original thread was locked down. Edited by Joe & Nadya, 26 February 2010 - 07:11 PM.	Joe & Nadya	Male	Ukraine	2010-02-26 19:08:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Fiancee In The Russian Federation	Greetings, I'm just searching for anyone that also has their fiance/fiancee in Russia. The wait is so difficult and it would be nice to speak with someone who is waiting just as Irina and I are. I hope to hear a lot of friendly advice Jim Virginia You might want to look in the RUB sub-forums...lots of people Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, etc....	Joe & Nadya	Male	Ukraine	2010-02-23 13:25:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	I married a woman, not a country	Thank you captain EWok for making the decision to re-open this thread, though I don't believe it will continue.	Joe & Nadya	Male	Ukraine	2010-02-26 23:18:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	I married a woman, not a country	I designate you as new 'mcat' for my daily musings. yup...it will be an interesting reading throughout the afternoon..though that psycho lady ranting about UK vs US immigration on the other thread is pretty funny too (I wonder how much longer it will take before the mods actually close that thread).	Joe & Nadya	Male	Ukraine	2010-02-26 13:10:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Would it be possible?	Would it be possible to make a new forum simply called "Clash of the VJ Titans" where sort of anything goes? All the good threads get shut down just when the poo-slinging is starting to hit fever pitch. It would be nice...though mods would eventually wear their Mod Hats and close it with a vengeance. Not to worry...we still have the Off-Topic forum.	Joe & Nadya	Male	Ukraine	2010-02-26 15:44:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Picking up K1 Visa at Dedex in Kiev	I've seen this topic touched on briefly but I wondered if anybody had knowledge or experience picking up the k1 Visa at the Fedex office in Kiev instead of having it delivered. Thanks, Barry We picked up my passport with a visa at the main Fedex office in Kiev. It was the easiest and fastest way to get a passport than waiting for a courier at home . You can call them if your passport has come there from Embassy or not.	Joe & Nadya	Male	Ukraine	2010-03-25 10:07:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Kiev questions	wait for next 2-3 weeks, then call to the call center and schedule the interview date. Right now just wait and getting ready documents for interview, be sure that all is done in right way. Good luck!	Joe & Nadya	Male	Ukraine	2010-03-25 20:01:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	National Geographic channel	Silly. You KNOW the answer to the price! If you have to ask...you CANNOT afford one! <<--- that's funny right there.... ..yet, absolutely true.. Anyway, Nadiya and I were watching the documentary this past Thursday and it was pretty intersting and worth watching it though (except for the parts we missed because little Yan kept saying "uh-oh" in the bathtube - usually a sound of trouble )	Joe & Nadya	Male	Ukraine	2009-09-12 08:44:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Questions about Ukrainian University Education	as for my situation, first of all I put apostiles on my diplomas at Ministry of Education in Ukraine. Moved to the USA, I sent all my documents to ECE ( www.ece.org ).. follow all their instractions on the website, they will send back an evaluation report in U.S. equivalent. Don't send original documents, only copies.	Joe & Nadya	Male	Ukraine	2010-04-23 08:35:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Postal Question	Here I am with another question. :-) My fiancee needs to send me signed copies of the G-325a as well as her letter certifying the intent to marry. We all know (or at least I've experienced) that the Ukrainian mail service is late when it is not non-existent. So, what is the best way for her to send these documents to me? I see that she could use FedEx and, by my calculations, it would cost us $116 to mail the letter. Or she could use MEEST and it would cost $8 and the thing would arrive in 1-3 weeks. I've heard about MEEST from other places but have never used it. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks!!!!! MEEST or Roxolana. But she could use any local Ukrainian post office just to order an express mail. And you will get during 10 working days.	Joe & Nadya	Male	Ukraine	2010-04-25 08:06:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Some people are such big meanies!	Nope. Charles! didn't close the thread because he and mox don't play well together, he closed the thread because of TOS violations. When you make charles! wear the mod hat, he's obligated to wear it. Sorry Slim...I'll have to poke the bear....where is the TOS violation?	Joe & Nadya	Male	Ukraine	2010-02-27 00:24:00

Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Some people are such big meanies!	Seems it's back open now. It looked to me like charles! (who we all know gets along with mox about as well as VV) posted a warning to the extent of "tone it down" and was not only brushed off, but told to stfu. Now, realizing that's just how they play together, it's not that big of a deal but a few posts later when the "debate" of the thread - which was about cultural dislikes (always a TOS gray-area in and of itself) - continued to be infused with low points instead of "debate" the thread was closed. Blatantly reopening a thread that's been posted as "do not reopen" is a direct violation of TOS and subsequent suspension follows. Whether or not you agree with why the thread was locked, it was locked, and it was locked because of TOS violations. so, just because Mox and Charles don't play well together, the thread must be closed?

Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Some people are such big meanies!	I'm with the mods on this one. Plain and simple, mox violated TOS I agree with you Slim, he did violated the TOS the 2nd, 3rd and 4th time...not the 1st one though	Joe & Nadya	Male	Ukraine	2010-02-26 22:20:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Some people are such big meanies!	sometimes it is hard when you are the only mod on line at the time and you try to make the best decision you can under the circumstances. If there had been someone else available I am sure Charles would have happily referred the thread to their attention. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. sure. Instead he has chosen to poke Mox. That doesn't call for impartiality.	Joe & Nadya	Male	Ukraine	2010-02-26 22:11:00

Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Some people are such big meanies!	Perhaps someone would like to quote the TOS violation for which the referred to thread that 'is still open' can be closed? The OP is emotional and argumentative but the responses are respectful, even when blunt, and generally supportive. There is no name calling, insults, baiting, or personal attacks of VJ members - of the situations,yes; of members, no. There is no advice on how to bypass immigration law. There is no stalking, harassment, obscene language, material that infringes copyright, spam, links to commercial websites, viruses, pyramid schemes, confidences breached, nor even posts 'purposely designed to upset, antagonize, make fun of, belittle or otherwise instigate an argument' happening in that thread. People are upset because of the emotional and combative nature of the OP who is resistant to information offered, but as has been stated by herself in her post, she does have a psychiatric history and a diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome. She is not deliberately trying to provoke people and is upset and puzzled herself that this is happening. So, for what reason is that thread to be closed? Regarding the closure of the re-started threads in the RUB forum - once a thread has been closed by a moderator there is a proper process to follow to bring a complaint about the decision to the attention of administration. One can expect that blatantly ignoring that process by re-starting a thread that was closed for TOS violations not once, not twice, but three times will have consequences, the most basic of which is the re-started threads are closed and will remain closed until Administration has had a chance to review the original thread. Bullying doesn't change the process. Finally!!!!!!!!! Kathyrin41...there was no TOS violation on the other thread..I understand there is a process to re-open a thread, just like any other bureaucratic organization. I can live with that. It has taken 3 mods and yet I still don't have a clear answer to why the original thread was closed to begin with. Don't forget that Charles WAS TOLD not to interact with Mox. It's an accident waiting to happen. Bullying doesn't change the process. Edited by Joe & Nadya, 26 February 2010 - 09:41 PM.	Joe & Nadya	Male	Ukraine	2010-02-26 21:40:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Some people are such big meanies!	It only took 3 pages.... But seriously now, I like the way Vanessa&Tony approached the situation...very, very polite. I admire that.

Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Some people are such big meanies!	Dully noted. Though I am not laughing at any mental illness, however the thread should have been closed a long, long time ago. Now, in the RUB area we have a small dispute, and then all of a sudden is lockdown. Someone said I was being watched.... It was just a matter of time. P.s.: I will refrain from my comments... Now, will the original thread (I married a woman, not a country) be re-open? Edited by Joe & Nadya, 26 February 2010 - 08:57 PM.	Joe & Nadya	Male	Ukraine	2010-02-26 20:53:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Some people are such big meanies!	I find your constant references to the lass that started that thread as "psycho lady" to be in incredibly poor taste. While YOU might find her struggles uninteresting in terms of US immigration, had you read her previous threads you would know that she has a mental illness and is having issues finding a way to be with her husband. It could, I suppose, be moved to a different forum. She is trying to decide between the US and UK immigration. While the thread has now veered towards insulting her, it should be closed to open again without the constant personal attacks. Please refrain from personal attacks in future. You are more than welcome to keep referencing this thread as you seem to find it so objectionable, but the use of the nickname "Psycho Lady" is completely inappropriate, and I request, respectfully, that you cease using it. Mental illness is not something to be laughed at and you are being really rude about it. Dully noted. Someone said I was being watched.... Edited by Joe & Nadya, 26 February 2010 - 08:47 PM.

Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Some people are such big meanies!	Mox's 24 hour suspension just got extended, as he threatened to open the "I married a woman, not a country" thread for the tenth time as soon as they let him back in. Charles was not pleased - here's the update: I can understand Mox being suspended (after all, this is high-school), but what I don't get is WHY the thread was closed in the first place.... There was no reason for Charles to close it. No one was violation the TOS.	Joe & Nadya	Male	Ukraine	2010-02-26 20:21:00
