Hello my beloved Ryli. Today I went with my father in the morning to several offices of travel companies. I hardly slept all night as my day must be very exciting. I called my boss from work and she told me an approximate vacation salary. I spent a lot of time and wrote at least 4 requests for data processing and receiving answers about the availability of tickets and the possibility of obtaining the necessary documents. I passed the check and brought documents stating that I have no restrictions on flights between countries. But since I am applying for a visa for the first time, it will take more time than re-obtaining a visa to your country.
My beloved Ryli, you know how much I love you and I am ready to do everything so that we can be together. You know that you have become a very dear person to me, but I really hoped to write you this letter with very good news, but everything is not so happy. Due to the situation with the virus, there are very few tickets and I need to have time to do everything as quickly as possible so that I can have time to fly out soon and make our meeting.
I submitted applications to several different travel companies. The information received is not so happy. I was told that the following documents would be required to obtain a visa.
--Copy and original of the passport of the country of residence (passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation)
- a completed application for a nonimmigrant visa
- Documents confirming the considered application for a foreign passport or a currently valid foreign passport, which has a validity period of at least six months longer than the period of your stay in the country
- Certificate from the place of work
- extracts and other documents from banks, which will confirm the applicant’s financial position, information about property, taxes and payments, which reflect security and financial well-being and solvency;
- documents describing the route and specifying the purpose of the trip, all explanations about the trip;
- 2 photos 5x5 centimeters
- original receipts for payment of tickets in both directions and also 2 copies of receipts and a copy of the tickets themselves (Except for electronic tickets)
- Copy of compulsory health insurance documents
- Documents confirming hotel reservations in the host country.
And additionally the results of analyzes of tests for covid.
My dear Ryli, I have already submitted documents and an application for a foreign passport, I was told that in the current situation, the passport will be ready to be received within 10-14 days. I have already asked my boss to prepare the work certificates that may be required and I called the bank to provide me with a statement of my bank account.
After all these statements, the manager and I began to learn about the possibility of a flight and possible restrictions on the flight. Fortunately, tickets are already available for purchase. My dear Ryli, at that moment my heart sank. I realized that our meeting is quite possible. But when I was told the cost of all this, I could hardly hold back my tears.
The total cost of processing all documents, including customs duties, is 1549 US dollars.
This cost includes:
— US visa application fee $ 90
- medical insurance $ 1 per day (minimum amount $ 45)
- The cost of registration on board the aircraft and a flight to Las Vegas and back to Russia is 680 dollars. I have to buy tickets in both directions at once. Moscow-Las Vegas-Moscow.
- The cost of renting a double room in a hotel ($ 638). This hotel room price is discounted. Now there are discounts for rent. The travel agency told me so.
- train tickets Izhevsk--Moscow $ 48. And additionally a return ticket to return home on arrival another 48 dollars.
My dear Ryli, I am writing this now and I cannot help hysterics. The thing is, I have $ 900. This is all my money, taking into account the amount that I will receive as a salary and vacation money. I need $ 649 more. My dear Ryli, when I left the office of the travel company, I just fell into a stupor and did not know what to do. The world seemed to have lost all colors and began to turn into ruins. I just stood and saw a couple of lovers pass me by. At this moment, I could not contain my emotions. I just wanted to lie down and disappear. My beloved Ryli, I got into my father’s car and told him everything. I asked for help from my father, to which he replied that, with all his desire, he would not be able to help us as he himself now has a difficult material situation.
My dear Ryli, I was thinking about taking out a loan, but unfortunately if I have an active loan, I will not be able to get a visa and fly out of the country. I called my boss and all my acquaintances hoping to borrow money for the trip, but no one was able to help me. I do not know what to do. I am very ashamed to write this, but I have to ask you for help. My beloved Ryli, could you please help me with this problem? I just don’t know who else to turn to. My beloved Ryli, I ask you to help me. I just can’t solve this problem with the flight alone. I can’t help hysterics. I have to finish this letter. I hope to see your answer soon.
