Hello Dari, congratulations 🎉, please let me know i want to meet you in person when you come to New York

Just some English advice: You did not “break” your knee. You injured (or hurt) your knee. Breaking means a bone is in more than one piece.

We believe in you, Dasha. Always have from the start. It is so nice to see your dreams come true. You are proof that east and west can come together and find harmony. I hope your channel continues to grow and grow to become more than what you envisioned from the start.

Thank you so much!!

It seems they (US) put the VISA on a specific page ( like page 23 ) probably so they can find it easier. Also, you probably want to go to Niagra Falls for your visa. It’s half New York and half Canada. Just don’t slip over the edge.

Dear Dari this is your entry visa to get inside the USA. You have to gain additional info from a foreign office for students in USA to get your temporary residence permit. You don't need to go back to Europe to renew your Visa. Visa is just for entry.

lovely Serbia

Before my wife immigrated, the US always placed the visa in the back of the passport. She had three visas in her Turkish passport before becoming an American.

Glad to hear that everything worked out for you with your scholarship and visa. I hope you will have a good and successful time in America.

Congratulations Dari!🎉🎊🍾🎉🎈

Sorry not been in touch Dari but I have been in hospital and my IPad was at home I have been catching up and I have been enjoying every minute of this!!!❤️❤️❤️ Nothing but huge love and respect Dari really glad to see things come together for you love David Porterxx ❤️❤️👄👄💖💖

I really don't think it will be difficult to get a visa to come to the U.S. as a student. I live in New Jersey and I must tell that there are millions of people from Russia living on the East coast of our country. You will also be welcomed, even though a majority of people here in the U.S. do not care for the War in Ukraine, and the fact that our nation is pro-Ukraine. That war has nothing to do with the good honest young people from Russia. I have seen your videos in the past and find you to be a brilliant and creative young woman. You deserve a chance to expand your education here in the U.S. Btw, you're going to love NYC! The food and culture of that wonderful city is unlimited, I hope you finally get your chance to come here soon.

It kinda makes sense to put the visa in the back of the passport. The last page will be the last one stamped, so it will always be available. Plus it's easy to find. Keeps things simple.

Fun fact: in Idaho there is a town named Moscow. I grew up in a town in Idaho 45 minutes away from Moscow. Now I live on the Washington state side but right next to the Idaho border, takes 15 minutes to drive to Idaho 🙂. Oregon is also part of the Pacific Northwest. We have beautiful rivers, lakes, ocean beaches, mountains, woods & Washington has several islands too. Its such a magical place to live & a very atmospheric place to visit. There is even a dutch town called Leavenworth surrounded by mountains that is beautiful all year but especially at Christmas time, all the buildings are in dutch architecture/decor. There is also a lot of historical sites like Lewis & Clark historical sites, native American sites and the Oregon trail sites too, definitely a fun thing to check out if you visit.

You've got a misunderstanding about how US visas work. It's merely an entry document. Once you're in the US, it's meaningless. As a student, it's your I-20 and your I-94 (US equivalent of a migration card) that matters. Your I-94 will cover the dates of your course of study, you can stay for as long as your I-94 is valid and you're still studying (the university will report you if you don't show up to study and your I-94 will be cancelled.) The counterfoil in your passport is completely irrelevant. Once you get to the US, you need to go to the SSA ASAP and apply for an SSN. For that you'll need your I-20, I-94, passport and a letter from the university that you will be engaged in on-campus employment. The SSA will confirm your identity and DOB from your passport, but they don't care about the visa. Canadians don't need visas, so the system was designed so that you don't use it after entry. Usually I advise people in NYC to go to Montreal to get a new F-1 visa so they can travel abroad and re-enter the US, but you'd need a Canadian visa to do that.

Dari will certainly want to travel abroad! Not least, I'm sure, to visit her family next summer. Being able to stay in the US is all very well, but who on earth (other than most Americans) want's to never leave the US? When I lived in Moscow for three years I left and re-entered FIFTEEN times. And I wasn't trying. I had to actually count them when I was later in the US on an H-1B and wanted to visit friends and ex-colleagues for 10 days at New Year 2020 and to get a tourist visa I had to detail every previous entry into Russia.

It's*very important* to comply with U. S. A. immigration laws and regulations. My parental family had split up multiple times in four cities and three national jurisdictions. My Mom got so fed up with our split-ups that she prohibited my Dad from veering off in his own way illegally overstaying in the U. S. A. He obeyed. My Mom didn't like the experience of sneaking with a kid in tow across national jurisdictions and ended up as ambiguously and probably stateless illegal immigrant (Hong Kong, its different sections and territory, are complex in its jurisdictions). I only remember that upon arriving in JFK International Airport, after we had gone through the entry checking of then-called INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service, now the CBP -- Customs and Border Patrol), I somehow got a small white card with my alien registration number printed upon it.

@steven-k.

@@solconcordia4315 What you're describing is an I-94. If you immigrate as a permanent resident, CBP will stamp the passport with an I-551 stamp, but if you're stateless they stamp the I-94 and take your photo and staple it to the form. Not sure how they do it since I-94s became electronic. But anyway, an I-94 is typically used for non-immigrants, although you might adjust status later on.

@DariStep I entered Canada before using my U. S. A. state-issued driver's license decades ago. Nowadays, it may be different because migrants may also be getting such licenses from some state(s). I worried a lot more about getting *back* into the U. S. A. than getting into Canada from the U. S. A. The Canadian border patrol people weren't as strict as the U. S. A. border patrol people who checked over more travel documents, luggages, facial matchings to documents, and asking questions.

I'm sure everything will work out in America.
