Can Russians get an American visa in 2023? My experience in Belgrade, Serbia 

As a US immigration lawyer, I congratulate you on your initiative and success. Wonderful!!

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.

lovely Serbia

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.

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.

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.

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 ❤️❤️👄👄💖💖

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.

Congratulations! 🙂 ... Belgrade looks lovely. Now I wanna visit it as well.

Happy for you, Dasha. Congratulations! Wishing you continued success in all your future endeavors.

Congrats on getting the scholarship, and the visa! I hope you have a great time in the USA :) I live near Philadelphia, about 2 hours from where you'll be in NYC. I look forward to seeing your videos about your experiences in the USA, and hope you travel around some here when not in classes.

Congratulations!

The indomitable Dari Step!

Congratulations, I am happy about this success

Good experience for you!!❤

Thanks!

🎉🎉🎉 Congratulations! Welcome to the States, Dari. I used to live in Manhattan. I miss living there a lot, when I am not enjoying my life on the coast in California. I usually go back to NYC for 2 or 3 months per year.

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.

Thanks! Congrats, Dari. I think you will like NYC.

Dary, "CONGRATULATIONS!"🎉 I Love your Great Attitude. You will go far. Believe in the Good! ❤

So pleased for you Dari...

I’m sure your RU-vid videos have significantly helped your ability to get an American scholarship and probably a visa too. We know who you are and where you stand on things. As far as your American viewers are concerned you are more than welcome here.

So happy for you!

Congratulations! Dari. Wish you all the best. You will make friends here & people welcomes you with open arms. You are a very friendly person.

Hello Dari!I hope you are doing well and everything is going great for you!I noticed you have an airplane ring on your finger and in a different video I also noticed a small tattoo of an airplane too.I am wondering if it's because you love airplanes that much? Thank you and take care!❤

Shrimp IS plural. Shrimps does not exist in english. Only in some southern and urban dialects will you hear multiple shrimp described as "shrimps". So you know.

Yay!!!! So cool you got your visa. 🎉🎊

Amazing that you had to do so much work to get a Visa, while our southern border is wide open.

I can hear the excitement in your voice. Lots of stress with that Visa approval too, but you handled it all like a pro. I think the excitement is building. 👏

I am so happy for you! 🎉🎉🎉

Congratulations and good luck for your study.

Congrats!! Good luck. Stay happy.

Hello Daria interesting to see your video. Can you tell me what you do for a living and how are you raising money to go to study in USA?

You can possibly go to the Canadian border (not to far from NYC)to renew your visa...

You paid $29 dollars that is very good, I would think that Greece and Spain would be cheaper than that.

You are tenacious! Despite setbacks and mishaps, you keep hanging in there. You keep fighting to achieve your goals. We're delighted to have you in America, Daria!

Good luck, Dari.

This video made me so happy!

Congratulations!!

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.

So happy for you and your success! "Today is the first day of the rest of your life!"

Dari, Congrats on your passport. Belgrade looks pretty.amazing it's cold there when it's so hot here in Florida. Good luck at St. Johns.

Congrats!! We're all happy for you. Will you be meeting up with your friend Zachery??

So eager to see your first post from NYC! Hope all is well and you are still thrilled with your newest adventure!

Ahh, the missing video that explains it all! I was wondering how many weeks you were back to Russia, from France, because I assumed it would take a long time to get a US VISA in Russia (Now explained)! So dangerous to get a US Visa, hope your knee is better! By now, your probably in New York and getting moved in. Welcome. Hope your 2k/month place is bigger than my closet! Nice to see your nails match your dress! 👍👍 Looking forward to your first video experience in the US! We already know there will be plenty of smiling! 😀😀😁😁

Yay, Yay! Dari. I'm so happy to see you got your visa and did not encounter any bureaucratic problems at the embassy. It's exciting to see you embarking on your new adventure in my homeland, an adventure so richly deserved. All prayers and hopes for happiness & success in all your pursuits💕. Will be watching you here.

Congratulations on getting your visa! I wish you much success with your studies.

All your effort deserves fantastic rewards 👏

You speak with a unique voice. Interesting…..

Thanks DARI for sharing this with us 🙏 it's so nice to see how things are going for you 🤗 it be nice to see how the future take you 😊 please keep up the great work you do for us and yourself ❣️ you are so beautiful and so smart 🤓 take care of yourself and be safe beautiful 🤩💝

All this extra effort paid off. You should be on solid ground in NYC (even though there have been some strong storms in the area.) Looking forward to seeing an update on your progress when you have a free moment. Onward to newer and exciting journeys!

Hi Dari,nice video,pleased for you its all worked out , all the best,look after yourself and take care

Congratulations Dari! You are always in our hearts. Wishing you all the best in the Usa💚💙❤️

Hi Dari. Congratulations!🎉 On getting your visa! Possibly, you can extend it without leaving the USA. I think so. Thank You for showing us Belgrade, Serbia. I had to look in my atlas to see just where on earth it is located. Your life is a very exciting journey, Thank You for sharing with us.✌️♥️🗽

Big time congrats

Glad you made it through the first tedious bs round to aquiring a visa!❤️ While earning a degree at this institution, don't forget how wonderful you already are. You've taught your viewers so much with this channel!🤍 Thanks for sharing this little bit of Serbia with us!❤️

Congratulations with your visa 🎉🎉

Was it easy to change Rubles to Dinars?

I want to go to Belgrade....but Belgrade itself needs a visa...can someone explain to me how to get it

Doesn't the sponsoring university file for the student to obtain visa to study at the university?? 😦😦😦😦😦😦

I follow a very popular band from Russia (Leonid & Friends). They are extremely popular in America and do a long tour twice a year. For their visas they always go to the American embassy in Armenia - and never had any problems! Anyway, I am so happy for you and ALL of America anxiously awaits your arrival!! 😆😆

Amazing you kept this wonderful news a secret from May till August Good luck on your USA studies and adventures

You'll have spring break in March or April (usually a week), perhaps you can find a cheap flight to Canada or Mexico if you need to be outside of the USA at that time. You are going into such an exciting time of life- you've worked really hard for this I'm sure it will all work out for you.

Interesting, Definitely different from my family’s journey to America which may or may not involve almost suffocating on the back of a truck heading towards Texas

@4:47 wow! i know exactly how you felt! it is a wonderful feeling. I see now you it was done. Congratulations!

Never forget that NY City is one of the most dangerous places in the world to live.

Good luck on your big adventure, ps your friends are beautiful as are you ❤️

Супер

Sorry about your rough start. Congratulations on your Visa! You wont have smoking inside when you get to the USA.

Crying in the rain!

Last page? They don't expect you back.

Great work Dari...love from Charlie ❤

Hey! Great video! Could you please also record a video on how you got your scholarship?

Congratulations Dari. I guess that was your angry Expression. Lol 6:42 That was quite a gust of wind. Perhaps you could make a couple of cuts near that stain, then your in style. Thank you for this update, XO

I am going to miss your accent. Stay safe. New York is a tough city. I personally have not been. I am in Colorado and go to Los Angeles and Las Vegas often.

you are so great to watch, your confidence is amazing and i'm so happy you get to achieve your dreams and study in NYC

Many congratulations. You are an intellegent and highly motivated young person so you will do well in America. NYC is a big, loud and busy city. It’s got some major social issues, including many people living tough on the streets, but there is loads to do and see. I wish you success with your studies 👍🌍🇺🇸

One step closer!!! Onwards and upwards, Dari.

I have tears of happiness for you!

Happy to see the warm acceptance from your followers in the comment section below. Would that each and every American appreciate you as much. I suspect you will encounter some small-minded zealots in America that do not share the enthusiasm towards you that is expressed here. Your joy is palpable. You have beauty and intelligence, wishing you great success in achieving your goals. Live long and prosper.

Congrats on getting your Visa! I live in Washington state which is also known as part of the Pacific Northwest. I highly recommend you visit the Pacific Northwest if you can, its very beautiful. 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. I hope you enjoy New York and your masters program, glad you made it here to the USA safely!

Hi Dari I have been living in New York for almost 35 years lol. welcome to New Jersey and New York. Let me know if you need any airport pick up to your destination once you arrived in New York City. by the way, I’m flying to Kazakhstan then Turkey on September 7 from New York for vacation then returning back on September 25th :). hopefully one day looking forward to meet you in person :)

You need to find a cool patch to put on your jeans! Mayber a New York patch. You're unstoppable Dari! Hope we can have a meal and a glass of wine when i visit NYC. You're just 12 hours from me by train now! ❤

Congratulations Dasha! Your dream finally came true. I wish you all the best and I hope you'll have a wonderful time in the US. God Bless you!

The grass isn't always greener on the other side. good luck though.

Congratulations MS. Dari. Welcome to the USA. So happy for you.

You did really good, Dasha. So happy for you!

Congratulations Dari with getting the student visa to the USA. I wish you an amazing and successful time in New York, and am looking forward to see your first impressions of the United States.

Congratulations, Dari!

Nice video, Dari! I wish you all the best! You are hard working and smart- your future is bright! ✨

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.

Good luck

I just realized that you inserted a quick shot of New York City at the start of the video. I didn't notice that at first. 😀

What an absolutely lovely lady you are dari , i enjoy watching your videos i love your English speaking voice and so happy for you ,following your dreams , god bless and good luck in everything you do .....lee in the 🇬🇧

Congratulations ..👍…. As a New Yorker it will be a culture shock for you and a little difficult at first .. but they’re is not doubt you will fight through it and be successful.. GOOD LUCK..

🇨🇦👍👋✌️👌🏾

I'm sure everything will work out in America.

Congrats again on getting your Visa Dari and for getting accepted for studying in the USA. I wish you happiness and success!
