Hello my dear Ryli, I carefully read your letter a couple of times. I am glad that you want to help me with a US visa. But I’ll tell you that a visa costs $ 90, the fact that a visa is expensive is just a stereotype. A visa is issued through a travel agency and the visa processing time is no more than 20 days. But my vacation has not even started and is still there. My 45 days vacation will allow us to be together enough time. My beloved Ryli, I want to tell you that the travel agency informed me about the approximate time for obtaining a visa. All applications are submitted in advance and there is a complete and specific action plan for processing all documents. After all, I have already submitted all applications for a passport and requested extracts from the place of work and personal accounts. I have no contraindications to obtaining a visa. People face the problem of obtaining a visa if they try to get a visa themselves, but in my case a travel company helps me. I was told that there were refusals in obtaining a visa, but only because people did not do everything according to a predetermined plan and were negligent in this matter. I already passed the check and they told me that with a 99% probability I will be able to get a visa in about 20 days, taking into account when I give my passport for the visa application. My beloved Ryli, just understand that spring will not be the best time to meet. You mentioned that you hope that visa applications to Russia will be considered, but everything is not so good. In Russia, it is known that 2 vaccines against the virus and all workers have already been registered, but they are used only on volunteers. Everywhere there is news that most likely the spring-summer period will be a period of mass vaccination of Russians. And of course, the entry to the country will be closed to tourists. Just as it was said on the news that the vaccine is being prepared in large quantities, but there is not enough equipment. My beloved Ryli, with closed borders, we cannot meet in any way, and besides, in Moscow. After all, my vacation will end and I will need to go to work. Today my father and I went to several banks. My father wanted to help us with my missing money problem. But my father was refused everywhere due to the fact that he already has an active loan. And they simply won’t let me out from abroad with active credit. Now there are all favorable conditions for our meeting, but of course, due to the missing amount, everything can collapse. I just don’t know where else I can find money. I was very ashamed to ask you for help, but I just had no choice. You know how much I love you and I am ready to spend everything just to meet you. I really hope for your help. Besides, I have never been abroad and it is very interesting for me to look at other countries. I really want to celebrate my birthday and new year with you. My birthday is December 12, I would really like that on my birthday I received the most significant and favorite gift - you, my beloved Ryli. I really hope that you will understand me and can help me. I really want to be with you and I really want to feel loved next to you. I also want to show you my love. I really hope that you will answer me soon. By the way, due to possible problems with transplants, this can be easily avoided. After all, I will need to additionally take free tests at the hospital. And I will receive certificates that I am not sick. The certificates will be written in English, so there will be no problems during flights. I really love and really want to be with you.
