Immigration, travel, and visa requirements are almost always "tit for tat". We require Russians to have a visa to come here...and they require one for us to go there. Czech requires no visa from us, we require none from them. Re immigration...Mexico may actually have slightly more relaxed immigration statutes than we do....but, they want work visas from us if we go work there, and we want them to have work visas if they come to work here. Almost all countries are similar in that way.

That depends on where you live.  From some countries, there is no way to get a visa to the USA unless you're invited by or marry a US citizen, or are employed by a company in the USA.  Your best source of information would be the US Embassy in your country.  For a list of Embassies, see this page:\n\nhttp://travel.state.gov/travel/tips/embassies/embassies_1214.html

another thiing is that you are well educated and  I bet there are many women who will wnat to marry you.  Moist women look for security.  Henc e  get a  beautiful American gal, fall on love, get married   and  enjoy your life.

My wife is Philippina and we are trying to get her visa.  It is taking a long time.  I don't care what country you came from, if you are legal.  If you are illegal, you are breaking the law, end of story.  When My wife and I lived in Japan, we had trouble getting a visa for me.  So we both left.  Because If I had stayed I would have been deported if I had been caught, and so would my wife.  Regardless of the fact that she had a visa.  Breaking the law is breaking the law.  Don't complain when you are caught.

Can you access craigslist.org or dating sites? My boyfriend tells me that in the mideast and parts of asia, such internet sites are highly censored. \n\nI'm assuming that you are wanting out of your country and to marry someone to get into one of those countries. \n\nAnyone who is giving away mailing lists of single women is probably either a liar or doing something illegal. \n\nReally, for the USA try craigslist - it is a general free classifieds site so shouldn't be censored for you. You might also have some good luck if you can post an ad on one of those sites and let the women respond to you.

With proper documentation and going through the correct channels, yes. My friends wife is Hungarian and he had to come here and wait 4 months before she could come here legally. She also needed a sponsor that wasn't her husband.

well....... you should be really careful. i have heard a lot of terrible stories about russian datins sites.  most of them are scam.\nthe thing is..... you join a site and contact a russian girl.  she immediately emails you back with beautiful model looking pics.  she keeps sending you tons of passionate emails everyday and tells you she is in love with you.\nshe tells you she doesn't like the place where she lives because of the financial situation and that she wanna marry an american guy and live in the us.\nshe strongly suggest that you guys should meet in person. you agree and of course she is penniless so you have to send her  money so she could buy an airplane ticket. \nyou send her like $1000 and you know....  she disappers.\nyou are not even sure who you were really talking to after all.  she could be he with fake pics.

It is possible to find your soulmate on the internet, but be VERY CAREFUL. Some people are very deceitful and will prey upon those who will give them what they want... (like money or attention or sex). There are tons of stories online of people posing to be Russian women (and other nationalities) who do it just for the money and they disappear. \n\nFor the record, my wife and I are from different continents and we had to spend a great deal of time online years ago because we wouldn't have known each otherwise. But relationships take time and patience. We've been married five years and it's awesome how we got together. But I know not everyone is so lucky. \n\nJust know what you're getting into before you send any money or make travel arrangements. People can be who ever they want to be on the internet.

unfortunately... yes. they masquerade as dating services from foreign countries. Just google it. I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for.\n\nbtw. if you're looking to bring your newly aquired girl to the US just to let you know... it won't be easy if you marry her overseas. It'll be much easier if you bring her over as a fiancee. \n\nAlso, unfortunately many of these women are abused once they get to the US just as Recacmis hinted at.\n\nNot a great way to get a wife. IMO.

Russian brides are orthodox. Try any of the online dating services for mail order brides. They work if you have the money to spend.

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.

I'm sure it's questionable for some people, but I have a feeling that it would be perfect for others. As people age, they are not looking so much for passion, but for true and loyal companionship. It seems that with this kind of arrangement, an American guy who has done well for himself can help out a woman from another country to share in his success, and in return she will take care of him and be good to him. If both parties go into it with the right attitudes, it seems like a good thing to me. My dad's cousin is a nice fella, but a bit homely and odd. He got his bride from Russia about 9 years ago and they are still going strong!

other than flying or walking across the bearing strait in winter or on a sail boat you have take these right steps. \n1, you can go to russia or ask her to come down on a tourist visa and marry her . you can apply for a depend visa or take your luck and get a fiancee visa.. \n2, she can join an collage to pass the doctor exams (i think it is USMLE or something) the courses are offerer in many cities. try Kaplan ' s website they are popular and have a good success rate . you can also sponcer her  . she will get the I20 form and she can apply for a student visa (J1) . she will get her license on successful  compleation of the exam . this is a easy way but you have to pay for the tution  around 5000$ or she can also bring in the money if her countru permits.\n\n3, try to get a job for her and a apply for a h1b visa. this is a bit difficult as there is only a limited nos of this visa that is issued per year .  \n\nbest of luck

A few reasons:\n\n1) Because they tend to wear more makeup and dress more revealingly.\n\n2) The accent is very cool.\n\n3) Because Russian women are more traditional and less likely to always be challenging the man over who is in charge in the relationship.  (They will challenge the man on other things, but that doesn't come out until later.)

Enroll for school in the US isn't hard, but is going to be very expensive as a foreign student. Even in a community college.\n\nShe can't work without a Visa.\nAs a European citizen, she can come here for 90 days with no Visa, just to visit you.\nShe can go to Mexico or Canada and come back for another 90 days if she wants to...\nShe can get a B-2 Visa if she wants to visit you and stay longer. Most likely she'll have to show 'ties' to her home country as well as enough money to support herself during this time and a round trip ticket.\nYou guys can get engaged and get her a K-1 Visa, which she can start working with or studying, but you'll have to get married within 90 days of her arrival :-)\nIf you choose this, after you get married she can easily get a probational green card.\nTwo years into the marriage, the probation is removed, and within three years she can become a Citizen.\nEnjoy.

I don't know what you mean by a scam. Like if they're pretty or not or what. But, Russian Mail Order Bride Agencies used to operate, yes for money, but the Bride got a good deal too. She gets a green card when she comes to the U.S., if it's the U.S. you are talking about ordering from. Their life here might be a lot better than there. It's not like they're slaves over there or anything. It's their choice. They want to come over.
