Personal Update

everyday life 1 Minute

Boris is not coming in April. His previous US visa expired in March, and he was supposed to get an “auto-renewal” (without the interview), at least that’s what the system determined. He mailed his passport to the embassy as instructed, but two weeks later, he received a response form them that he needed to schedule the interview. By that time, there were no slots available until May.

It’s not the end of the world yet (although we keep wondering what it could be), but at a minimum, a serious alteration of our plans. On Anna’s advice, I asked our Congressperson’s office for assistance, but after looking at our case, they said there is nothing they can help with.

(That was an FYI since many of my friends read this blog as my news feed, no actions required :))

My name is Henrietta (Hettie) Dombrovskaya. I was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russian (actually, back then – Leningrad, USSR) in 1963, and immigrated to the United States in 1996. I love Saint Petersburg, the city I was born and raised in, and I think it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. Similarly (but differently) I love Chicago, and can’t imagine myself moving somewhere else in the observable future. I have three children, Igor, Vlad and Anna, all adults living on their own, and one (so far) granddaughter Nadia. I also believe that my children are the best thing that happened in my life. As for my professional life, I am working in the field of Information Technologies. When I was twenty, I’ve declared that the databases are the coolest thing invented and that I want to do them for the rest of my life. Thirty plus years later, I still believe it’s true, and still, believe that the databases are the best. These two statements together imply that I think a person can have it all, and indeed, I think so! Keep reading my journals to find out how I did it.
