The reason I asked you at the first place is the fact you mentioned (in some other topic) the successfully passed interview - as the only one from many many others, but didn't mention that was non-immigrant family-based visa interview. So we all here have a lot of reasonable questions upon your case.
Did your daughter assist you with getting a green card?

Девочки, я перевожу - в одной из тем упоминалось успешное прохождение интервью (на получение визы) Светланой, единственной получившей визу в тот день. Но она не упоминала тогда, что это было собеседование на гринкарту по воссоединению семьи, а это единственный вариант в таком случае получить гринку. Рабочий контракт, по ряду причин, не рассматриваем, а если бы она подавала на убежище, то ей нельзя было бы покидать США до вынесения решения по ее вопросу. И тут к ней море вопросов у нас у всех.

Так это даже интересно: смените имидж - будете дикой...пантерой. Думаю, мужчинам это понравится))).

Ok, Svetlana. Before during more than 20 years we needed to survive in Ukraine: my Mom, me and two my daughters. I don't have other relatives. My father died 15 years ago, my ex-husband died from overdose.. We don't have any help. I worked, worked, worked... When I had flu or other diseases with high temperature I never stayed at home, I went to work in any condition. But I had the main purpose: my children need to leave Ukraine. Now my elder daughter with her family is living in USA, younger daughter with her family in Finland. I didn't plan to leave Ukraine but I couldn't find job last time in Ukraine. I couldn't have any medical observation. When I had medical observation in Kiev before interview in November 2016 they said me: You are sick. Welcome to America! I don't have medical insurance here. I had some consultations about this in their offices. It will be more than 1000$ per month for me. My wages is only more than 300$ per month.

Thank you, Olga

Yes, you are right. I got visa to Green card not tourist. I think that is understandably because only in this case I can live here more than 6 months

)))I wrote about family of immigrants from Russia. We have many cars, campers, old cabins in mountains. In 19 century it was a place with many mines. Then mines were closed

Excuse me, I don't understand.

)))). Oh, no. I don't want to scare them.   One week ago Mexicans stolen my phone from my open bag in bus. Then they called to my work and said that they want to give me my phone back for money. I found them, their house and apartment, visited them suddenly and picked up my phone...without any money.

Correct me, please, if I wrong.. in the USSR's 70-s your Spanish-Italian mother did speak Polish at home so you could learn Polish as a native language? I don't ask about your father - if he was Polish, he spoke, of course.
Highly unusual case.

Надо же как вовремя она ему позвонила...)))

Невероятная ситуация! Неужели такое ещё происходит в мире? И как Вы нашли в себе силы начать все сначала?

Даааа...
Похоже, приключения Вас любят...

My great grandma spoke with me Polish. I stayed with her. In my family we used mix Russian-Polish-German. When I studied at school my teachers and classmates in Soviet Union said me: Speak normal Russian! I can't say some Russian sounds all my life. When I lived in Ukraine I was an active member of Polish community so the biggest my friends with whom I had conversation were from Poland and spoke Polish language. Now when I speak with my Mom she uses our mix, I try to speak Russian but she said that I made many mistakes. If she agreed I spoke English. She has good abilities to languages. Moreover, she spent some time in Finland where she spoke English, too. All my 4 grandchildren knew English, so I use this language for conversation with them when I called them

I named this "hell". I can't imagine the same before. But it was a good lesson for me

))) Some calls are really at the worst possible time. Some men from this site called me when I sat in bath or had conversation with other man in reality. But they wanted to see me by camera immediately. Ok, I spoke with one of them wet after bath, with my wet hair and with cream in my face. He said that I shocked him and he can't recognize me. I replied: Ok and put on some my hats and sunglasses. After this he said that he recognized me and that he never met a woman similar me.

If honestly I don't know. I think if God departed me to USA without my desire , all my stuff was stolen so I needed to begin new life. Other persons who had medical observation with me in Kiev and people who to go to interview didn't get visa. I hoped that God will help me, that he decided to teach me. Once in forest I met black bear near his den. I twice went cross him, near him and he didn't make me any harmful. I fed wolves and foxes from my hands. They liked to accompany me. I touch moose and deers in the forests. I know all pets and animals in place where I am living. When I go to any place children and animals found me every time and accompany me.

It isn't my choice. ((( I prefer calm, quiet , order life .

I got invitation to narrate this story on TV show here. I refused because it is my sad reality

Thanks for sharing, Svetlana. I believe, I can "gotcha" you. Надо же, каких вы ужасов в жизни натерпелись. Вы там берегите себя, Света. Может вам хоть палеонтологическое общество бросить пока? Лучше здоровьем заняться. Вы бы начали писать книжку о вашей жизни, это же готовый сценарий для голливудского фильма. Американцы любят такие истории, особенно про сильных женщин - прошла через все испытания, грин карту выиграла, все зубы потеряла, но вышла победительницей. Глядишь, и купят у вас историю продюсеры, чего добру пропадать.
Откройте собственную тему здесь и пишите еще. Я читаю вас и понимаю, какая у меня беспроблемная жизнь и как мне все, можно сказать, на халяву дается. Удачи вам, Светлана.

Многие поставили бы под сомнение Вашу историю жизни. Но... Знаю одно, бывают невероятные ситуации в жизни и только что-то Свыше помогает нам это преодолеть. Я это знаю по судьбе моей бабушки. Многое из ее жизни иначе как чудом не назовешь...
А Вам и правда нужно было начать свою жизнь с чистого листа, чтобы стать тем человеком, которым стали.

Светлана, из всего того, что вы нам расскащали, меня больше всего поразило, что медведь на вас не напал.Почему?

наверное после встречи с медведем в лесу вы забыли русский, украинский и даже польский. Но покормив лис и волков у вас появились способности к английскому.

ну да, а кормить лисиц и волков из рук это как бы в порядке вещей

Thank you, Svetlana! I described only a small part of my life here. My learning continues: I take care and live in house of one old aggressive person with mental illness. It isn't a "sugar"as you understand. I don't want to open any theme here. I am tired, very busy and don't want to describe my"fantastic life" for anyone because it is only pain for me. All situation was actually more mixed than I wrote. I didn't explain so strange behavior of my elder daughter who I loved before very much, gave my life for my daughters and hate this person now. This situation is more fantastic than my life here. God really teased for us. I abused my elder daughter to marry with American guy whose ancestors came to America in 16 century. They have 2 normal kids but the 3 kid, small baby daughter Melinda Valerie was born and died from genetic anomalia when I arrived here. I saw her. The doctors said after many tests that my daughter and son-in-law are cousins, close relatives. It is really fantastic. But his father knew about it and wanted to foretell his son but he refused to hear his father. So my story is actually remarkable. It is really God's bad joke. But all people who know my family know all this, too

Thank you, Lana! I thought the same when firstly stayed without all my stuff and then began to live here. The life of my Mom and my great grandma were not easy than my life. Maybe God actually wanted to teach us to live, to adapt to this world, to this life, to any conditions. I many think about it. I saw how people, who I respected and appreciated, died or were killed and thought: why they? Why not me? My purpose done: my children have good life abroad. What more?
I am not happy that it happens with me. I am waiting something bad all the time. It is very hard to live without any certainty in future

Maybe he wasn't hungry. ))) Maybe because I was not afraid it.
I like animals. They feel it and pay me back. The foxes, wolves, moose, raccoons...all they were mercy to me and preferred to attack my elder daughter.  

Svetlana, actually, I apologize for being somewhat sarcastic in my previous posts. Frankly, first I didn't quite believe your story. However, now I am convinced that you are telling us the truth. I am really sorry that you have to go through so much struggles. Even for those who do not have any health issues, life in immigration is challenging. I have a first hand experience. Your strength and resilience are remarkable. Don't give up on yourself, Svetlana; I am sure you will succeed.
Do you have any explanation, why your older daughter had changed her attitude to you so drastically and unexpectedly?

Thank you, Svetlana! I thought that my elder daughter decided that I betrayed her when I departed her to USA. It was my decision, not her. So when I came to USA it was the way to her to make hell for me. When I saw her she always repeated: Why do you stay alive? When will you die? I do all for it.
She had medical observation. Diagnosis: paranoia, potencial killer. But doctor decided that she will come back home, to children. She never works, doesn't do nothing in their house. She considered that she is a great black witch and all time makes witch's rituals and has conversation only with the same persons by Internet. My eldest granddaughter Evelyne, 8 years old makes all house work and cooks after school. When I stayed in forest my grandkids sometimes brought food for me. They love me very much and I promised them to stay in USA. Sometimes I call them and buy and send gifts for them and for my granddaughters to Finland.

Зря не согласились, эту историю услышали бы миллионы, а не только форум. Кстати, впервые слышу что столбняком заразились у стоматолога. Или они инструменты держат в сарае, и моют в луже?

Светлана, ваша жизнь никогда не была легкой, вам пришлось пройти много испытаний. Вы живы! А значит Бог любит вас!
Вы из тех людей, которых проблемы делают только сильнее. Желаю вам в дальнейшем здоровья и большого женского счастья!
