By the time I reached New York, a ton of time had passed and I hadn't encountered a single shower along the way. Everything went exactly as I calculated in Yekaterinburg before the trip started: a day to Moscow (cologne doesn't really help after the train), another day flying to New York (plus the time I spent sitting in Domodedovo), and another night spent at the airport in New York since I arrived late at night. And now morning has come, and I bought a bus ticket to Myrtle Beach for the evening. Basically, I can walk around all day, but there's one obstacle - my smelly, stinky fragrance. But this is America, this is New York (like, everything is supposed to smell like this here, but nope), I can't just sit around. Anyway, I didn't care, I went for a walk. People say New York stinks, I don't know, I didn't feel it. Or maybe I added to it myself. P.S. Nikitoz helped me calculate the number of days without a shower, he did it in a snap. It didn't scare me at all. But I remembered his laughter. P.P.S. In the evening, I locked myself in the station restroom. Not in a stall, IN THE RESTROOM. I washed as best I could - washed my armpits, brushed my teeth, changed my socks and underwear. And when people were banging on the door, I thought about the words from the American guidebook "Discover America", something like "Americans are all different, you can't say anything that unites them. Sometimes it seems they go beyond the limits of what is allowed." I think I'll go a little beyond them too =)

Phew!!)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) A huge weight off my shoulders=) A month of waiting, then the LM status, the employer called the sponsor in New York, everything was confirmed, and the status changed to OK=)))) Now it's time to wait for the DS-2019 and fill out the DS-160=) By the way, at the very beginning of the application, where it says "Select the location where you will be submitting your application," you need to select YEKATERINBURG!!! I didn't find it the first time because I assumed the name started with an "E" and chose Moscow instead. Interviews start in less than a month! So good luck to everyone=))) We will definitely make it!!!!! Not much left now=)) (20.03.2011)

Hi, my name is Vika and I'm from the city of Yekaterinburg! My blog won't be too long, nor will it be stuffed with epithets, metaphors, or descriptive turns of phrase (even though I'm a philologist by education). It's just a light story, and I'll focus on a few specific moments. If you, dear readers, like my blog but don't find the answer to your question, or if you want to expand on any topic, you can easily contact me (addresses at the end of the blog). So, I'm starting ^_^ I want to thank IEC for the opportunity to have a mass landing of students from all over the world in America. You are simply geniuses, and the person who invented, implemented, and perfected the Work and Travel USA program is a genius. I admire it, honestly. Not every adult can afford a trip to America. It's an expensive pleasure, and it's far away. And I don't think it's like a typical family vacation... it's easier, cheaper, and closer to go for a family vacation to Crimea (I love Crimea, I spent my whole childhood there) or Turkey. And here is such a chance! Thank you for this, I'm thrilled! =) My summer story began on June 5, 2014. Five pale and exhausted-from-finals future traveler-frogs met early in the morning at Koltsovo Airport in Yekaterinburg. We really looked tired and weren't particularly happy about the upcoming trip. I think we just didn't understand what was happening =) We stood modestly with our little suitcases, waiting to board the bird of happiness from the Aeroflot company. *I want to say thank you to the bird that safely delivered us to Moscow, to Sheremetyevo Airport* In Sheremetyevo, the traveler-frogs ran around looking for currency exchange points and for another dose of coffee for me—I'm just a wild coffee addict. And finally, we tucked our little bottoms into the main bird that took us straight there, to New York. Woohoo, no more sitting in a fetal position, wondering, "I wonder if I'm the only one who feels like a child in a tight stroller?", or suffering from a lack of sleep and annoying the flight attendants with requests to bring something to "chew on." Yes, that's how we ate away our boredom, because the movies just didn't work for us at all. And we really should have slept!!! I, a walking—and at that moment, sitting—miracle, made a mistake in the declaration (they give it to you on the plane, if I remember correctly, just before landing at the American airport). I put a checkmark in the wrong place... the question was written something like: "Are you bringing fruits or vegetables into America for further distribution?" YES! I am bringing a kilogram of cranberries for sale, well, you know, extra income! And a big African-American guy (actually, I love them very much and am not afraid of them at all), while checking the declaration, started to react nervously and comment on my checkmark, and I realized... and started waving my arms just as nervously, clearly keeping up with the pace of the dialogue he set, and saying that it was a mistake, I'm a student, Russia, I just messed up, sorry-excuse me uncle, but NO! The guy (the same sweet African-American guy) sent me to a separate counter with another dark-skinned guy... scenes from movies about American prisons or scams immediately came to mind... and I was in the lead role... and they were going to torture me... with a lamp, a chair, and ropes, well, everything as it should be, you understand. But I kept repeating like an oath: "it's a mistake, I'm a student, Russia, I just messed up, sorry-excuse me uncle" and they let me go. A good oath, remember it=)) *My girls, including me, hadn't yet managed to adapt to the sound of fast American speech, and we made the airport workers laugh)) It was funny)*

The day of departure has finally arrived. It's going to be a long journey. Starting my trip from my hometown of Chelyabinsk, my mom, my brother, and I headed to Yekaterinburg to fly to Moscow. Arriving just in time, I headed to check-in, while my beloved family headed back 200 km. Flying to Moscow, I lived through the same hour all over again. Now I'm at Sheremetyevo, waiting 12 hours for my flight to London, and then to New York. I found a girl through the wonderful website iec.ru who I'll be spending the night with at the airport. So, I don't think it will be boring!

I can say just a few words about the consulate. I prepared for about a week using questions found online. I passed the consular interview easily, although out of 40 people, only 6 were granted a visa. I wasn't asked many questions. The only thing worth noting: if you are having your interview in Yekaterinburg, definitely mention animals to the older consul; he loves them. He asked me if I had any siblings, to which I replied no, but I have a cat and a dog who are like a younger brother and sister to me. After that, he pointed to a pamphlet, asked if I had read it, and started preparing my visa documents. If you get the younger one, then (I don't want to scare you), nothing but luck will help you. He is "stamping" denials!!! That's all! Getting ready for my flight to the USA!!! So happy!!!

Since mid-summer 2010, the same thought has been echoing in my head every day: I want to go to America! This idea was so obsessive that it was driving me crazy. And at that moment, I realized that Work & Travel USA was exactly what I needed. THE BEGINNING It all started, naturally, with endless surfing of the Internet. God, how many sites I looked through, how many links I clicked, how many blogs I read, and how many emails I sent asking "What, when, how much?" – in other words, I tried to learn as much as possible about what this program is and what it's all about. Out of all the Yekaterinburg agencies providing the Work & Travel USA program, my friend Ainura (I'll tell you about her a bit later) and I chose the International Exchange Center (Yekaterinburg, 50 Prospekt Lenina St.). The second stage was preparing and signing the contract for participation in the program. This is actually a most interesting procedure! First, you read and sign the contracts themselves, and in this case, there were two: one with the IEC Yekaterinburg, and the other directly for the program participation. Then you go to the bank to pay for all this beauty... God, how many times I signed my name there at the bank, my hand almost fell off! They also issue the international student ID card right there at the bank. By the way, let me digress a bit and tell you about how I got my ISIC. I went to get it not on my scheduled day, but five days later. It was Monday. I got up at 6:30 AM because I needed to pick up my international passport, and then go to the bank for the ISIC. As you probably know, nothing in Russia is done properly; everything is constantly done through that one well-known place. So, I arrived at 2 Krylova St. at 8:00 AM and got a ticket from the terminal with the time for passport issuance. I sat there, waiting calmly. They called my name, I went to the window with a calm heart, and that's when it started... Your passport isn't ready, only by Wednesday, go to the inspector and sort it out there, don't hold up the line... I went to that inspector, who, by the way, turned out to be a surprisingly normal woman. She explained to me clearly that I wouldn't get my passport until Wednesday. Okay. I went to the bank. I arrived, and what do you think? My card wasn't there! And it wasn't known when it would be! Yeah... I really wasn't having any luck that day. But on Wednesday, I got everything: both the passport and the ISIC. Although they got my institute wrong on the student card, clumsy people, damn it... In their opinion, I study at EAA, not EASA... Well, that's Russia! You have to get used to it! Let's get back to signing the contract. The amount of the first installment was about 15,000 rubles, which hit my student pocket pretty hard. But what can you do, if you really want something, you always have to sacrifice something else. In my case, these "others" became cafes, movies, concerts, theaters, books, and all sorts of other joys of life... The third stage is the introductory meeting with IEC consultants. I don't know exactly what will be there yet, but I assume it will be about finding a job in the States, getting a JobOffer, the visa, the flight, and the interview at the US consulate. By the way, I want to add. Initially, back in the summer before signing the contract, I was just squealing with delight about everything related to the Work & Travel USA program. Now, however, the feeling of "this is so cool!" is being replaced by the realization of what I've gotten myself into. Three months together with a friend in a foreign country to live, relax, and WORK! I don't think it will be easy, but it definitely won't be boring. I can guarantee that. ;) Speaking of my friend. Ainura is my classmate at the Yekaterinburg Academy of Contemporary Art (institute). An honors student, smart, beautiful, if only she weren't a Komsomol member! If it weren't for her, I wouldn't see my grades in my record book as my own ears. But that's not her most import
