I have been writing a a women in Russia for the last two years. I have been to her hometown (small city 400 Km from Moscow) twice and each time spent time with her and parents. She is a professional, a career type woman which is fine with me.
Last summer we spent two weeks in Spain and France driving around in a rented car and visiting the local sights. We had a good time. For a few days during our trip I did take her shopping and I spent about $500.00 on her for various clothes items in France (my thinking is that it is just part of the trip). However, I did notice she did shop for price and value,often getting things in the small discount shops.And, she would always ask if she could get something and If I said no it was too expensive and not a good value, she would not complain.
I have started the K1 process in August. I was not in a big hurry and she seemed happy in Russia. We seem to have been caught up in the recent mess at the immigration department, and she is becoming somewhat impatient.Lately she has insisted that she would like to have copies of all of the papers that I have filed with the INS for the K1.It seems that she does not believe that it is taking so long.She mentioned that she was on the computer reading the RW's side of this process and some of their horror stories.
Because she has a close friend who is also in the K1 process and that friend recieved copies of everything in cluding tax returns from her man(she had the interview by herself), now my lady wants copies of all documents that I have sent the INS along with the papers and tax returns that I will be submitting in the future to Moscow embassy. In the past I have never promised her anything except a good life in LA and to give her an opportunity to go back to school to see if she can get her medical license here.(she does not work as physician in Russia). I make low six figure income,house in the hills.etc. etc.
I was just wondering what were the thoughts of some of the board members.Is she just nervous after reading horror stories on the internet or is she only concerned about how much I make?
Would appriciate imput from guys who have already been through this process and knows the reaction of the RW's on a first hand bases.The RW's ability to understand fiancial data.
