How fast can one get a C-1 Visa for a russian to travel from one USA airport to another--can it be gotten easy

A C-1 transit visa might be somewhat easier to obtain than an ordinary tourist visa, as long as it is clear that the traveler has firm plans and good reasons to continue the trip outside the US.\n\nThe transit visa will take as long to obtain as the tourist visa would.

Depends on which type of visa you would like to get. All I know is whatever type of visa you apply for, the US Embassy always assumes that you are planning to stay in the US for good. Believe me, I have been through all that. Thank God I now have a multiple entry tourist visa that is good for 10 years.\n\nMind you, getting a visa is not an assurance of entry to the US. There are instances when tourists are denied entry for some reason by immigration personnel at a US airport.\n\nThere are good websites that can give you the right info on each type of visa. Its best that you browse them

It takes a loooooong time. They dont generally exaggerate a whole lot on the websites. That is based on when it is a busy period, but I think it probably takes a little bit less. Good Luck with the immigration process.

These flights don't just fly over they stop at various bases and meet with our troops and inspect facilities for various treaty obligations and we do the same the Russians won't get home until November 19. Our people did there inspection in October. This is nothing to worry about in fact you should be glad as this system lowers the level of mistrust between the USA and Russia.

well the laws have changed and the ladies know it,all she would have to do is say he slapped me,russia would back a divorce and you would be held responsible in either country.\n  a fiancee k-1 visa is good for 90 days, if she doersnt work out she goes back without responsibility.\nyou marry the laws now say you could be held for her upkeep the whole time she is in the us, so if she becomes a citizen of the us in four years, then i would suppose this goes back to what the regular laws are though,but until then\nyou aqre responsible for medical dental welfare housing food and whole smear.\ndo a k-1 have fun and settle it later wheh she goes back, or you get married here, just dont do it in russia.\n  as far as older american involved with a younger european,\nmany prefer older men, they are usually not violent when you are older.\n  there are some super sexy females there and they take care of themselves,and dress to entice males.\n they can be fun and dead cold also,so beware they  have different climates of attitude

Everything you need to know is on the State Department website:\n\nhttp://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/info/info_1296.html\n\nIt's quite a lengthy and difficult process but certainly possible.

you would have to go to the Russian Embassy - there is one in Washington DC. Check the website below for details - they are in Russian and English

I've heard it can take up to 2 years. Are you trying to get your spouse here? visapro.com has a lot of good information.

I can't say for sure, but my wife is from Russia and her brother is coming on a work permit in January.  We helped him with his paperwork and we also signed an affidavit of support for him.  If there is a certain amount of money he needs to have we haven't been made aware of it yet.  But you should check with the BCIS (formerly INS)

K-1 or fiancee visa will normally take around 3 months unless if you'll be placed in AR or admin review.  \n\ntourist visa doesn't take that much time.

At the short-end, six months. This also depends upon how busy your local INS (Department of Homeland Security) is. If you're in Los Angeles, for example, it could feasibly take YEARS for your case to come up.\n\nThe rules for fiance visas are very particular and a slip-up in filing could really be a set back.\n\nSome lawyers will handle these issues for around $1000 or so. But you also get what you pay for in legal council, just like everything else.\n\nYou CAN do it yourself...a good start would be a major bookstore and getting a how-to book on immigration and all of it's complexities.

It took me approximately 4 months to hear from the embassy after my fiance sent the F-129 form, and after that another 3 months for me to get the visa. If you have any more questions let me know, we got married and we are not done yet. Good Luck.

I don't know why they require so many forms, but I am going through the same process to get my fiance here from Great Britain. We are in the final stages of the fiance visa but it has been such a long and financially straining process. They ask for one form and when that is processed they ask for another form, which was the same information as the first but this time the fee is doubled and then they ask for another form to make action on the first approved form before it can be sent to the National visa center and then on the the American Cosulate in the country your fiance is from. It all seems so repetative but I am glad we are doing it the right and legal way. I advise that you contact your state senators. We have been able to speed up our process with the help of our state immigration liason. They are able to make the calls necessary to make sure your fiance application doesn't just sit on any one's desk and they may even be able to expedite some of the processes. They have cut our wait down to four months (from the original speculated 8-12 months). Also keep track of any correspondance you and your fiance have had: letters, plane tickets to see them, pictures of you two together ect.  In the final interview they will ask for such documentations of a valid relationship so as to make sure it's not some "mail order" spouse thing. Best of luck to you, It's difficult but worth it. Hang in there.

You don't need a lawyer unless there are compelling circumstances. Filing for a fiancee visa is not hard and the processing time takes anywhere from as short as four months to as long as six months in most cases.  It depends on whether she will be interviewing at the embassy or one of the consulates as each have their own backlogs.  She can call the one she wishes to interview at and find out how long is their current backlog.   There is no real way to speed up the process other than making sure all your paperwork is in order and properly filled out.   \n\nThe main thing, and you may know this already, is that you must establish beyond a reasonable doubt that your relationship is valid and she is coming here for the purpose of marrying you.  It helps if she has copies of emails, online chats, and telephone bills showing a record of the two of you being in contact.  Further, it is highly advisable that you make a trip there so that pictures can be taken with the two of you and her family.   If such a trip is not affordable, then it is less likely for the consul officer to approve a fiancee visa as the two of you have never actually met in person.  The consul officer can rule that she return for another interview after the two of you have met if other evidence is not abundant.  Further, be sure that you meet the minimum income guidelines for the Affidavit of Support.  This is about $13,000 a year if you have no kids.  \n\nI have been through this process myself with my first wife and once she gets the visa, its good for a year to enter the States.  After that, you have ninety days in which to get legally married and have her adjust her status with immigration to that of a conditional permanent resident.  She'll have all the rights of a permanent resident but it's conditional until she has her formal interview with an immigration officer a year or two later here in the States at the office nearest to you.    However, the clock starts ticking for her to become a U.S. citizen when she adjusted status to a conditional permanent resident and she can apply for U.S. citizenship two years and nine months later (the application can be sent in three months prior to the required three year waiting period once married to a U.S. citizen).  Once she applies, it can take anywhere from six months to a year (again depending on backlog) before she is naturalized as a U.S. citizen.
