Russia, Ukraine and BelarusViolence Against Women Act and me

Is the OP coming back? Things seemed to have veered way off here...



This is now the "official Russian Off-Topic forum" since we didn't have one before and it kind of morphed into that anyway.


cool :thumbs:

He will be fine. Try dice.com to start looking around. The bigger problem is getting paid as much as you are worth. There is unlimited work in every state in the US below $50/hour with a Computer Science degree. $75/hr or $110,000/year is typical here in FL.

I do IT work in the south, it is just as good as the rest of the country.

With computer work, I would be happy to help him out, and I know several Russian-speaking computer guys in the US.

Where do you live, and what type of programming does he do? The market for Oracle and SAP tends to be the best (highest paying). There is a good market for Java still. Software development work exists just about everywhere. San Fran, Boston, LA, RDU, Dallas and NYC are the biggest markets. If he doesn't mind traveling, the pay can be pretty good (~$150/hour), which is worth being away from home Monday to Thursday a few months out of the year.



My fiance is a computer programmer, do you guys think he will be able to find a job rather quickly? He is planning to go through JFK to at least try and get the EAD right away...

Depends entirely on where you live. In Alaska? Sure. In California? Much harder. in Mississippi? Do they even have computers down there?

Cheers!

Right now I live in Poland, but we are PLANNING on living in LA (I grew up there) But I also have realtives in Florida (in Miami), so we might live there. still trying to decide. He wouldn't mind traveling for sure, especially not for such a salary. So far he mainly worked with C++, but he also knows HTML, Win32 API, Windows programming, MS Visual C++, C# and JAVA languages. Now he is working has a project manager in the IT department of a bank in Moscow. I will take a look at the site you mentioned. I don't know anyone who works with computers in the US, so we appreciate any help. Thanks :) Milena.

Russia, Ukraine and BelarusViolence Against Women Act and me

Just wondering, how many of this thread's posters' wives contribute to family income, and how significantly?
I've been reading VJ for some months now and I see that a fair share of wives start or will start working eventually, but it's my impression that their initial post-arrival time is covered by their husbands, more or less. Sometimes that includes education, where necessary. Am I to understand that all these husbands are immensely rich? :)


Well, it isn't possible to work without authorization here. The only way you can get this upon arrival is at JFK, and even then, not everyone gets it. It is only good for 90 days. (My wife didn't get it). Then, until you are married and submit AOS paperwork, no EAD. It takes about 90 days. For most of us, it meant work was not an option for at least 6 months. After that, finding a job can be tough, with no US work experience, credit history, etc...

Galina is in school now getting a Master's degree. Tuition is cheap here in FL, about $3,000/year. A degree here should make it much easier for her to find a better job. It is possible to start school immediately, and this can make it easier to get a better job (more from networking, than anything else)

Other people I know here, recently married from overseas, are working as waitresses and grocery store cashiers. Other than engineering and technical degrees, it can be hard to find a good job quickly.

Russia, Ukraine and Belarusairfare to Russia
One piece of advice I have about airlines...Polish LOT at least from Poland really overcharges. To fly to Moscow they want $530, not during summer time. But if you travel to Germany (Berlin for instance) and fly via Germanwings for around $230 round trip...Just a good thing for everyone to keep in mind if they are coming from Europe :) If it's off topic sorry...

Russia, Ukraine and BelarusBringing meds from Russia...

My fiance is diabetic. He wants to bring enough insulin for one year with him. What I want


The bigger problem that I would look into is making sure that your health insurance will cover him immediately. It would be considered a pre-existing condition, so making sure that you have a group plan now would be a very good idea (no matter how much it costs).


Thanks Russ, I live in Poland, so right now I don't have any insurance in the US. But when we get to the US together, we will be getting insurance together asap, no matter the cost. Thanks a lot for the advice.

Russia, Ukraine and BelarusPacket 3 for Moscow Embassy

If all goes well she will leave with me August 31. We will then be married 3 days later and then immediately start the documents.

I was under the inpression they send the packet. Then we send the packet back with the required info. I just want to be able to send the packet back ASAP. I am not fully versed on this part of the K-1 process yet. Trying to get my ducks in a row. Still waiting for NOA2. Just got touched yesterday. Now I look at the USCIS site and my email every 2 minutes. :wacko:


Hi Bill,
This is kinda off topic, but we are also still waiting for NOA2, and the last two days, have gotten touches, I hope that means approval, but so far no more updates or e-mails...I posted a while ago asking a similar question, and everyone said that for the Moscow embassy you don't send anything back to them in advance, just bring everything to the interview. If I am wrong, someone please correct me...GOOD LUCK, I hope you get your NOA2 asap!

Russia, Ukraine and BelarusA few questions...
Hi Everyone! I just got the 1040s from the person who is going to co-sponsor my fiance. We have tax returns from 2004 and 2005 but they have an extension on 2006, and we just have a letter from his account stating this. Does anyone have any experience with something like this in Moscow?

Also, he had to send the 1-134 now, because he is going to be out of the country for some time, our papers were just sent to the embassy, does anyone know if having an I-134 from June will affect approval?

Thanks in advance!

Milena.

Milenka,
any updates? I am curious as my husband lives in Moscow and we are pursuing K3.
our I-129F got approved on 2/28 and we are patiently waiting to hear from Us embassy in Moscow.


No updates for us yet. we are still waiting to get our NOA2, but Sergey is going to get his police certificate soon, and check into where you get the medical, etc...I will let you know when there is an update. Good luck with your process! And keep us updated as well :)

Just to clear this up, you're the petitioner, right Milenka?

Sergey is your Russian fiance?

If so, you're in short supply around here. An AW marrying an RM. Valuable insight indeed!


Yep I am the petitioner. Sergey is my fiance, he lives in Moscow. My mother is Russian though, and my dad is Ukrainian, but I was born in the US. I guess I am one of the few AW marrying a RM :))))

Russia, Ukraine and BelarusA few questions...

I did the "last minute" thing - partly because I didn't know I had to do financial support docs, and partly because I lead the world in procrastination - and it ended up costing us a delay in the interview. Had I sent my documents earlier, she could've interviewed on the original date.

But, all's well, because she didn't get her police check done in time either, so I guess we're like peas and carrots! She didn't come right over after the interview; we didn't really rush anything in the visa process. But, if you're in a hurry, get it done sooner rather than later.


:) We aren't rushing, I just don't like to procrastinate :) Just feel better when I have everything done...Slim, how long is the visa valid for? Depending when we get ours, he might not be ready to leave like, the next day... :)
MilenkaFemaleRussia2007-03-21 16:53:00
Russia, Ukraine and BelarusA few questions...

Thanks for clearing this up, and for the advice. Slim, I will definitely remember about the DS-3025, very good to know. We are already working on the paperwork for the interview, to use our time :) Luckily my fiance lives in Moscow, so we won't need a place to stay :) You guys are just great!


While the last minute is often popular here, you can save some time by sending the I-131 affadavit of support now as well. Most of us sent it Fedex/DHL etc, but you can send it regular mail now for $0.85, which is much better than ~$100.

Send three copies on different days - at least one should make it there within 2 weeks.

BTW, how did you like studying in Moscow? We are planning a long trip this summer, and I may Russian there for a month or so. (After 2 years of University courses here, I think I need more intense study for a while).

Good Luck!


I think it's a good idea to get everything done now, I hate rushing, leaves more room for mistakes :) Thanks for the advice, Russ! I was studying Linguistics in Moscow, in Zelenograd (a region of Moscow) I knew Russian beforehand (my mother is Russian) but I think if you have the chance you should definitely take a course! I would definitely recommend it! Have a great time!
MilenkaFemaleRussia2007-03-21 04:48:00
Russia, Ukraine and BelarusA few questions...

I will also add that if you know the visa's been approved through NSC and is on the way to Moscow, start your police check and scheduling of your medical check. Maybe you don't need to get them done right away, but at least check where and when you can get them done, and how long they're going to take.

Once you find out that number, you can check the embassy website and you'll see exactly when your interview date is. Basically, you do nothing until your packet arrives, then you finish all the paperwork inside, acquire your police/medical checks (and any other papers you may need... divorce/death/birth/custody papers, etc.) and then just kind of sit patiently to wait for your interview. REMEMBER TO GET A COPY OF YOUR DS-3025 to bring with you!!! You will need this for your AOS once you get to the States. (You should be able to get a copy during your medical check.)

Also, start checking into where you'll stay in Moscow. Some advanced planning can save you several hundred bucks!

Ray, Your information is correct for many Embassies but not for Moscow. Most embassys have a separte package 3 and package 4. Moscow combines them. He will get one packet. It will tell her what she needs to bring and give her the interview date. The interview date will also be posted online but often she has the packet before the web site is updated.

She will need to get her medical and gather her documents. Being in Moscow should make that much easier.


Do I need to send this back before the interview or just bring it with me? Thanks.

Hi guys,

So while I am waiting for my NOA2, I am wondering what's going to happen after the Embassy receives my application. My finace lives in Moscow. Are you supposed to contact the embassy to find out if they received your application, or do they send you a letter? Do they send you the forms you need and do you send them back, or just collect them yourself, and send them, OR do you just bring them with you without sending anything in advance. How can you schedule an interview? How long have the most recent people who interviewed in Moscow, waited to get an interview date? I guess I just don't understand the process fully yet, so sorry if these questions seem too simple. Thanks in advance for any advice. Milena.

We are not to this stage yet, so there are others who can cofirm, or add other first hand information to this, but...The embassy mails one packet of documents with instructions and the interview date is included there. Or you can see it on the Moscow Embassy website, they are listed using the MOS********** number you have. Or just start contacting the embassy!

MilenkaFemaleRussia2007-06-18 04:01:00
Russia, Ukraine and BelarusI-134 for Moscow

Proving that he took care of himself in Russia just fine should also prove that he'll be able to take care of himself in the U.S.

I strongly disagree with this reasoning. Otherwise all the folks immigrating from Europe and the rest of the 1st world would not need sponsors at all. If you were good at making money in Russia, then more than likely your technique say "stealing" , "bribing" or whatever your skill was will not work well in our system. If you were say a mechanic or electrician, you might even do better. But still adjusting in terms of language, cultural difference, and even in a specific trade all the terminology is different. If I was the CO this argument would not pass muster.

Unless you can document $125,000 in assets, it probably isn't worth it to go out of your way. You need to show either meeting the income test, or the asset test. No point in proving that you don't meet either one.

Couldn't agree more! Don't waste your time proving you aren't qualified as a co-sponsor. As long as your uncle qualifies income wise you should be fine.
Likewise, I imagine you weren't paying US taxes on the money you "didn't earn" in Poland :) This doesn't help your cause as a sponsor either, but also looks bad in front of the IRS.


I did also want to reply to this post. My fiance is a programmer, this is a pretty good job, even in Russia, and those languages are universal, but his English his already very good. Also, he never did any "bribing" or "stealing" so he won't have a problem adjusting to the system. That was a little offensive. But your earlier advice was very helpful.

Thanks everyone for the input. Very helpful. Just to clear it up, I was never trying to make myself the sponsor, my uncle was always going to do it. We just had some questions, about what, and how, and that it might help the case to show that both of us have some additional savings. Thanks again.

I'm not trying to prove that we don't need a co-sponsor. We have someone who is sponsoring him, he just doesn't have the 2006 tax returns yet, but is above the poverty guidelines, at least 125%, but he is a writer. Slim suggested (as I understand it) that since I am technically unemployed (I don't work in Poland OFFICIALLY) and living abroad that it would help our case to show that at least I have some assets (savings) here in Poland, and that Seryozha has some assets in Russia, and that when we get to the US we will put that money in a joint account. Just so that at the interview, it doesn't look like I am immigrating as well and my uncle is going to take care of both of us. This idea makes sense to me, so that even though the amount is not that large, it would be enough to live for AT LEAST 6 months, if I couldn't find a job.
MilenkaFemaleRussia2007-06-16 15:47:00
Russia, Ukraine and BelarusI-134 for Moscow
Thanks Slim. In reality my uncle won't be supporting us, my parents will be sending a little money, plus we have my money and Seryozha's money but we will be staying with my uncle for awhile while are are adjusting. So far the plan that is coming together is this: In addition to everything my uncle is providing the I-134 and relevent evidence. Both Seryozha and I will get statements from our respective banks (What does this need to include, just a print out of how much is in the account, stamped by the bank?) And what does my uncle need from his bank by the way? (what is the name of this document?). Plus we will use the car documents to show that a) he took care of himself in Russia and B) that he will get another rather large sum of money to add to the funds. And you are suggesting that we write an attachment to the I-134 explaining the situation and saying that we will move all this money to a joint account when we get to the US? If so, should I also mention that my parents will be helping us, too?

I hope I don't seem too dense, but I am very inexperienced with this kind of thing! Thanks again!

Thanks for the input Russ. Actually since it isn't my tax return, there is only so much I can do, as to getting it filed :( I think I will just include our bank statements, and his 1040s, and W2s if he can send me a pdf with them, but we'll see, I have to talk to him when he gets back from Istanbul.

Thanks everyone for the advice. It seems silly as Satelite said, to go to so much trouble to complete a document that isn't legally binding...but oh well, since we gotta do it. Thanks again!

You look like you should be just fine. What they really want to see is that you've got access to funds once you get here. If you're able-bodied and can work legally, that should translate to you being able to take care of yourself and your husband, with your co-sponsor footing the bill if something were to go wrong where you were unable to work.

1040s prove income, so there should be no problem using JUST 1040s.

The only worry I would have in your case is you are not currently employed in the U.S., and from their point of view, it looks like you're both going to show up to America with no money and no jobs. You might want to show them proof of having access to some money somewhere or a letter of "intent to hire" from an employer where you intend to immigrate. If your co-sponsor exceeds the poverty level (for two people) there's technically nothing to worry about. If I were you though, I'd show some money somewhere. Your money in Poland (that you're not making right now.... you just happened to have money saved when you went there!) and maybe even some of his money that you guys could count in a joint bank account back Stateside or something to that effect. Just something to show USCIS that you're not going to show up at your POE with nothing in your pockets and nowhere to go. Sure, your co-sponsor provides assurance that they're going to take care of you, but I know if I were a C/O and someone had a co-sponsor that was a writer.... I wouldn't be to keen on them being "guaranteed" to be taken care of financially.

Once again, not saying that you have anything to worry about, just saying that when you submit the I-134 and other documents, you're painting a picture for them. There's a certain picture they want to see. Let them see it. Doesn't matter if it's paint by number!


Slim,
You make a good point. Better not to risk a denial, and think something up :) I still have a little time, since they just sent our petition to Moscow on Monday, so I can get some statement of how much is there from my bank in Poland, I don't have a US bank account. And Seryozha can do the same. We have both been saving money for the move. I hadn't thought about it, but I like this idea. When I pictured it from the point of view of the C/O, as you said, it would look much better if we both showed something. My uncle wrote on the I-134 that he would be providing room and board for as long as needed, instead of some sum of money. Do you think Seryozha showing ownership papers for his car are a good idea? We are going to sell it when he leaves, so that is an asset. I think showing a fair amount of money, plus the I-134 from my uncle should be enough to show that he won't become a public charge? :)

FWAGUY,
I really hope that's NOT true...but I did e-mail the embassy to find out. Hopefully they will write back! Thanks for metioning it, though.

Thanks for the answers Satelite, we really appreciate it. If 2006, isn't available in time for the interview, we will include 2003 along with the letter stating that he filed for an extension in 2006, hopefully that will be ok, as you said, it all depends on the interviewing officer. We are using JUST form 1040, as evidence of income.

Maybe you also know the answer to this question, when looking at the poverty lines, the number of people in the household is counted using people who are just FULLY dependent on my co-sponsor? Or partially dependent as well?

Thanks again.

Hi everyone. So I found out that our case was forwarded to Moscow on Monday. My fiance's co-sponsor is going out of the country for some time so I had to get the I-134 from him now, is it too early date wise? I do have another question though: He doesn't yet have the 2006 tax returns, we have copies of his 1040's from 2004 and 2005. And his accountant wrote a letter saying that he had filed for an extension because his income increased by 3,000 for 2006 (that deadline is October) He is a self-employed writer. It was written on her letterhead. Does anyone know if this will be enough? Also, are the copies of the 1040 enough? And, while I am asking questions, since I live in Poland and don't work (officially) at the moment, do I need to fill our the I-134, too? Sorry for all the questions...I feel a little like this :wacko: with all this I-134 stuff :) Thanks for any advice, in advance. Milena.

Russia, Ukraine and BelarusHow common is Administrative Processing/Review

When I called the NVC, the customer service rep told me that all cases are considered in "Administrative review" until they are approved. Your timeline shows they just received your case on May 29. If you look at the Immigration timelines of VJ members with petitions for Russian citizens, you will see that usually it takes between 2 to 5 days before they are sent to the embassy. Mine took 7 days (yes I was scared). Thus, I would not start to worry until after at least 7 days.



OK... This MIGHT be hope for me. I called the NVC after they had my case in their system for only one day. They told me I am in "Administrative Review" and sent to Washington DC. SO... Are ALL cases considered in A/R technically? Or has my case been flagged as soon as they received it since they told me it is going to DC?

I mean... maybe I am jumping the gun and everything is going normally and I just do not know the terminology?

Anyone know? Wil?


Sorry I can't clairfy, but I wanted to say that the same thing is happening with us. They said that the case was sent to D.C. but she said that this is normal...so who knows for sure. But our case just got there last monday so I am not really sure what this means...I think you may be right about all cases being in A/R untile approved...
