That's lovely! What are their names?

Do you visit Poland much? I went three years ago before I got married. When the baby is born, I will take him to meet his family there :-)

Haha... no Mickey D's.

Preferably Polish. My husband is from Poland, and we live in the US. It's important to me to raise him with as much Polish culture as we can :-)

I am getting married... Visa requirements for guests

I am getting married in a few months and my fiance's sister, best friend, and cousin plan to come to our wedding, but they need to obtain visas to enter into the US.

His cousin said something about me submitting paperwork to the US Dept of Immigration formally inviting me to the wedding so they can get their visas. I've heard something about it, but I'm not sure what the form is called. My fiance overstayed his visa, so I think that may have something to do with it, but I'm not sure.

Does anyone know anymore about this process of me submitting an application so they can obtain visas to come to the wedding? If so, please let me know. Any help is appreciated.

If anyone cares for an update. I went to Poland and it was AMAZING! His whole family loved me. I would move there in a heartbeat if I had the opportunity.


And yes Bolek, people did like me. Polish women were extremely friendly, and his family kept teasing me because a lot men on the street, in the mall, at restaurants, etc. kept giving me googly eyes...They must have thought I was cute :-)

Bolek, just stop already. LoL

So Tomek was talking to his parents and all of his aunts and uncles, and they are really excited for me to visit! His older sister, who is my age, just got married and I will be staying with them for a few days in Warsaw. Then I will stay with his parents for the rest of the time in Suwalki. During this time, I'm somehow supposed to visit all of his aunts and uncles. I'm really excited to go. It's going to be an adventure especially since he isn't going!

That is so sweet of you to say, thank you!


That was uncalled for.

I know! That salt mine is amazing! Tomek said the place is rented out for parties and there are all types of events held there.

Ha, good idea :-) I will have two suitcases. One for shoes and one for Tequila.

Gifts to bring with me, conversation topics, things not to say, etc. Anything in general.

BTW - I won't call them a menda :-)
