Good answer, Asia!  The best bet is always to go to the official websites, NOT the "we'll help you get her over here" companies.  Check back on the uscis site periodically, since laws/rules change periodically.  You'll want to make sure you have the most current information available.\n\nGood luck!

Remember that a passport is a document that merely identifies you as a citizen and requests safe passage through other countries.  To the extent that you're no longer bound not to travel by the terms of your probation, I don't know why you couldn't travel.  Now, I'm not sure another country would necessarily have to let you IN (you might want to check with the State Department and/or the Russian embassy/consulate to be sure), but nothing should prevent you from getting a passport.

well the laws have changed and the ladies know it,all she would have to do is say he slapped me,russia would back a divorce and you would be held responsible in either country.\n  a fiancee k-1 visa is good for 90 days, if she doersnt work out she goes back without responsibility.\nyou marry the laws now say you could be held for her upkeep the whole time she is in the us, so if she becomes a citizen of the us in four years, then i would suppose this goes back to what the regular laws are though,but until then\nyou aqre responsible for medical dental welfare housing food and whole smear.\ndo a k-1 have fun and settle it later wheh she goes back, or you get married here, just dont do it in russia.\n  as far as older american involved with a younger european,\nmany prefer older men, they are usually not violent when you are older.\n  there are some super sexy females there and they take care of themselves,and dress to entice males.\n they can be fun and dead cold also,so beware they  have different climates of attitude

Of course she says she loves you...she wants to leave her country..as you said. She will say whatever she can to get outta Russia and become and American citizen by marrying an American. \n\nHey...it's up to you. If you want to marry a female you don't love to give her a chance at the good ol' American dram...then fine. I think you would be cheating yourself though.

Your question needs some clarification.  Are you talking about a specific woman? Is she in Russia?  Is she a Russian citizen?\n\nIn any case, the procedure ONLY for getting a marriage license to marry a Russian woman is the same as getting a license to marry an American woman.\n\nIf she's a Russian citizen, you have a lot to do before even thinking of getting the marriage license.

I don't believe the two events are related. I believe it only affects her status regarding her ability to stay in the US.

A few words of advice - If your new friend tells you that she was told she has to have a certain amount of cash to show someone in order to be allowed to a) get her visa; b) get her plane ticket; c) be allowed to leave Russia; or d) enter the US, do not believe it - it is a ploy to take your money.  No such regulations exist.\n\nUS Embassy/Consulate Non-Immigrant Visa Fees:\n\nFee for B1/B2 visa:  US$100 (1 year)\nFee for B1/B2 visa:  US$ 200 (2 year)\nMandatory courier fee:  700 Rubles

As soon as your wife's I-94 expired in 2000 (6 months after she entered) she was here illegally.  She is still considered an illegal alien today, regardless of her marital status.  She needs to file for an adjustment of status with CIS.  No matter how you do it, it will be a difficult process, as she will be put into deportation proceedings.  Assuming she has no criminal background, and you are an American citizen, and the marriage is legit, she should be granted relief by the Immigration Judge.  That means she will not be deported, and she should get her green card.  \n\nThere is no pain free way to do this, you just need to contact CIS and get the ball rolling.  The sooner the better, because if she somehow comes to the attention of Immigration or other law enforcement, her problems and headaches will just be compounded and the legitimacy of her claims will be questioned that much more.

Would depend on how much the property is worth, exporting money from Russia is difficult, but can be done. \n\nIs easier to bring it out on your person than to look at banks as this will prove nearly impossible.  \n\nIf she flies to Russia, she can take out $12k worth of travellers checks each time she departs from Russia, so this would probably be the best way of doing it.  Of course she could always take more, as it would be doubtful that they would check her person for cheques on the way out, but if she does this it would be better to get the travellers cheques issued by different banks on different days.

If you are a US citizen and she is outside the US, you should apply for a K visa.  Depending on where you live, it will take from one month to approximately five months to process.    It is a relatively simple application and you can fill it out youself online at www.uscis.gov.  You should include some information that proves your relationship with her is not a fraudulent one, like pictures of your wedding, a letter explaining how you met and dated and why you decided to marry.  Especially helpful are any children you have together or financial documents in both names.    After she is here, she can apply for her permanent residence.  I would suggest an attorney for that process because it involves a lot of paperwork, some of which is a bit complicated.

I am happy with my Russian fianec, but he has lived in teh same country as I dosince he was fourteen.  Culturally there are differences, which can be problematic, but nothing that we ahvn't worked out (With real discussions).  But te big issue is that he lives here and sis doign well on his own - h is not using me to get to the US and he is not going to take my money and never show.  I wouldn't say there is a 100% chance that your firlfirne dis  liek taht, but I would say ther is a 95% chance, based on what else is going on out there.  Run a google or yahoo search of "russian women scam" to get an idea of what is going on.

If they truly love each other and plan to marry, she can file a petition for him as a fiance -- this will change his Visa status so that they may legally marry.  \n\nI'm not certain of all the legalities, but the Department of State website and the Homeland Security website, and related ones, can help you out.  You all need a good lawyer for the red tape.  \nhttp://www.uscis.gov/graphics/lawsregs/index.htm has information about the laws and regulations.

She can get you a fiance Visa to enter legally the US and you have to marry her within 90 days.\n\nAfter that, it gets complicated.
