And wtf that is fucked! How did she eventually "escape"? |
The stories she's told me are crazy. I don't know if there is a specific law, but they go out of their way to prevent women from leaving the country unless they are married or are related to politicians/mafia. As a single woman, you can apply for student visas, work visas, and travel visas till the cows come home... you just won't ever get one.
She was able to escape because of me. We met in Malaysia, the only place outside of the former USSR she could go (probably because its a muslim country like Uzbekistan), and kept in touch for like a year after that. I flew to UZ a couple of times over the course of the next year to see her, and we met one more time in Malaysia for a month. We knew we wanted to be together but the only way was to do it through the K-1 (fiancee) visa... so I got a lawyer and got the paperwork done right. She moved here and we had 90 days to do it man... so we took the leap and it worked out, fortunately.
She told me the day she was at the embassy for her final interview, 72 people were trying to get visas for one reason or another, and she was 1 of only 2 people who had theirs approved. This was only because my lawyer did the paperwork so perfectly, it couldn't be disputed. Veronika was telling me they actively look for the smallest typo on those forms and will rip it up if it's not perfect. Most people try to do the paperwork themselves and can't do it as well as an immigration attorney. And when she had to get copies of her medical records, and personal records from police proving she's never been arrested, they would pull shit on her like, "You need 8 copies of your birth certificate, not just 1," when there are no real rules for something like that... just to be assholes and make her miss her deadlines. Knowing how they do shit like that, she made like 25 copies of everything ahead of time so they couldn't fuck with her.
But yeah, it's really fucked over there. You can pay the phone company to get someone's phone records or cell phone number... you name it. She had to keep her move to the U.S. secret because her ex boyfriend would have paid off the airport to stop her from flying here. Insanity man. It was like a super stealth operation that took 2 years to complete.
