Hi my dearest Markus, I hope, everything is fine with you and you have
a fine day. How are you today? My day was very intense, I am tired of
the trip. I shall sleep well today. I visited the Netherlands embassy
in Moscow today. I have already come back, trip was safe and useful.
Today in the morning as soon as I have arrived Moscow, I went to the
embassy to be interviewed. My reception has been appointed about 10 o
clock in the morning. I came to the embassy, and I had to wait for the
turn not for a long time. I worried very much, one can see my
excitement, but I came3 through with my the thoughts. I was met by a
lovely lady who was an employee of the embassy. It is not easy to
receive the sanction, and the visa to visit. Lady asked me kindly to
tell the purpose of my arrival to the Netherlands. I have told, that
my purpose is a meeting with the man,who is dear for me, with you,
dear Markus. She understood the purpose of my travel and hastened to
warn me from possible dangers of travel. She told to me, that there
are cases when nobody meets a girl in Netherlands, and she stay alone.
But I assured her, that you are responsible and sincere man. I assured
her, that we with you are the big friends, and we know, each other
already for a long time. The employee of embassy also told me, that it
is not easy for a woman of my age to visit the Netherlands, however I
insisted on a meeting, even for a short term. So I have found out,
that it is necessary to get the visa. It was told me, that for us with
you the most suitable visa is visa K-1, the visa of a bride, but it is
very difficult to get. Getting of that visa takes a lot of time. To
get this type of visa it is necessary for us to give proofs of that we
have already met with each other, it is necessary to give our joint
photos, hand-written letters to each other. I said, that I can give
these proofs, but the term of getting this visa does not suit me.
Besides we have no plans, to marry now, it is necessary for us to know
each other better all over again. Then the lady in the embassy
explained me, that more convenient type of the visa for me is Visa
B-2, the visa of a tourist. This type of the visa will allow me to
travel to Netherlands as an independent tourist, I can freely move on
all the territory of the Netherlands. I have agreed, that this variant
is the most suitable for us. After we have chosen the necessary type
of the visa, I was suggested to fill in various questionnaires, to
answer questions. I was explained, that registration of the visa will
take 1-2 weeks, also according to this visa I can be in the territory
of your country within several weeks or months. This type of the visa
is really the most optimal variant for us. They explained me also in
the embassy that I shall need the passport, it is compulsory to pass
medical inspection, and already then I can start to registrate the
visa. I knew, that all will be not easy. It will be really difficult
for me, but I am ready to this process. I have already the passport,
and it is a great plus. Our meeting depends on us, and we should
realize. Dear Markus, also I should tell you how much the official
registration of papers costs.It costs much more expensive, than I
could assume. The visa will cost 160 dollars, medical survey which
will be necessary for me I can pass free-of-charge because I have the
policy of medical insurance. It will be necessary for me to fill in
various questionnaires, it will cost additional 100 dollars. I should
give the embassy the information on the marital status, personal
incomes and my activs in the country. As you see, it is necessary to
do many things to be together with you. I think, that our meeting is
the most important, than any money. Now, I want to sum up, cost of all
that things . Official registration of papers, will cost about 400
dollars. I have this money! It is not a problem for me. Tell are you
glad that our meeting will take place soon? I have about 900 spared
dollars, I plan to spend this money on the process of getting visa.
Also I should live in Moscow for a certain time, and certainly I shall
need money for foodstuffs, payment of a taxi and hotel. I can cover
that charges for the sake of our meeting. Dear Markus, I think it will
be fair, but I should tell you about it, I shall probably need your
help, I want that you get a ticket for me to travel to you. I do not
want to injure you, but sincerely I need in you. All that depends on
me these are documents, I shall prepare them, I shall make out all
correctly for our meeting will have no delays and problems. It is very
unpleasant for me to ask you to help, I was sure, that I shall cope
with it myself, but nevertheless our meeting will be impossible
without your support. Tell, are you ready to help me with tickets? Can
you get them for me? Inform me about it if you are really ready to
help me with tickets, I shall visit the embassy again and begin the
process of registration. As soon as I shall receive your consent, it
will be necessary for me to come back to Moscow, and to be engaged in
reception of the visa. So I believe, that I have made a big step to
our future appointment, now you are the owner of a situation, but it
is necessary for us to make a decision together! If I get your
approval to help I shall be the happiest woman in the world. Markus,
also inform me please your nearest airport, probably, I shall also
know cost of tickets. We shall compare the prices, and search for
benefit. I am very tired today, it is rather late already and now I
shall come back home. I shall think of you, and to dream, about the
meeting. Please, study my letter attentively. I trust you. Markus, I
will wait with impatience for our meeting. Once again excuse me if I
injured you having asked the help, I really did not want to cause you
a pain. I highly appreciate you and our feelings. I will be very happy
if our meeting takes place soon. I want to care about our future. I
listen to my heart and I hope that you also will listen to your heart
Markus. Well, I should go now I finish my letter. I shall look forward
to hear from you. Have a nice day! Only yours Elena!
