Hi Donhollio.Donhollio said:I will add that I had a brainy-ack idea of flying them to Moscow to pick up the PR visa, but the CDN Embassy says that is not allowed, and having the PR visa sent to the CDN consulate in Tashkent didn't go over very well either.
Another thing I noticed was that her medical will expire in June, expect to be paying for another medical. Alex I'm quite curious to hear how you found the 'testing' at all the clinics and various other places was for you so you could take that booklet to ZAGS and get married. For me it was so bizarre that I had to write about it, and even to this day Alina and I laugh about it.
By the way Alex, you can click on this blue link below and read the entire story of my road to happiness. It may make you feel better knowing someone has perhaps suffered more than you!
Thanks for the feedback and sharing your not so easy way to get her to Canada. Glad it finally worked out. I will read your link, should be fun
Yeah, getting passport to Moscow will be challenging... We will figure something out.
I went through that booklet and getting medical done for ZAGS. It was fun. For me, it was one clinic only, just a blood test, x-ray, various doctors. Then two days later results are ready and you can go to ZAGS. I was born there, but it was still fun to see that nothing has changed since I left in 1999. You get an idea on why you left, once you go through all the enjoyment of bureaucratic difficulties again.
I wonder if they really do background checks in Uzbekistan. I wonder if they even get any response from Uzbek authorities.... Perhaps this is the reason of the delay. We will hope for the best, but ready for a long delay.... It's worth it, like you said.
