Answer 1

I am willing to be that she is really a he and is scamming you. I have run across a couple of these so called Russian "women" and they are decidedly suspect. Just play along with it for a while and sooner or later "she" will want you to send "her" some money for one thing or another.

What you might want to to is to run a search on a few lines of any emails "she" might have sent you. I did this once and found out the sweet nothings were from a love letter web site. The sender eventually proved himself to be a scammer.

I would not be the least bit surprised if your "Russian fiancee" is really a guy scamming you.

Answer 2

If she comes here as your fiance she'll have to tramit a visa K-1, if she does it as your wife she'll have a visa K-3.

Both have advantages and disadvantages. K-1s tend to be faster but you are supposed to show more "evidence of relationship." Once you are here and married the process goes on because you have to go through an "adjustment of status" application. After you guys get married and submit the paper work it may take 90-180 days so she can get her work permit and her travel permit.

K-3 tent to be slower, but once she arrives she'll be immediately able to work.

It depends on what is more important for the two of you. If you don't mind having to wait a little bit more because you prefer that she has her work permit from the beginning then you should go K-3, if you can't stand being apart for two long and are willing to go through the 6 months of waitting for work permit, then go K-1.

Check www.visajourney.com, it's a really good website. I talk about it all the time and it sounds like if I am advertising for them, well I am not, it's just that when my husband and I went through the visa process we got a lot of advice from that website.

Oh and also, if you do not have a lot of time to put on the paper work or if you don't feel you are very detail oriented is better to hire a lawyer that helps you at least with the initial phase of the application.

Good luck

Hopefully this is a real deal, because if it is not then life for you and your daughter will be extremely difficult.

Your fiance has everything to gain, you have everything to lose.

I work with immigration. Too many times a day, I see this exact same scenaro. Older man mets young attractive woman on the internet who tells him everything he wants to hear. He falls in love with her solely based on what she tells him about herself.

He shells out a lot of money getting her to the USA and she gets he conditional residency. After a few months, things start going down hill quickly. She files assault charges against him. He goes to jail and she gets PERMANENT residency based on the "battered spouse" law.

Since the husband is in jail, the divorce goes badly against him, he loses everything.

Days after the divorce is final, she brings her old boy friend over on a K-1 visa and they live happily ever after. However, the USA ex-husband is heart broken and financially ruined.

If it was just you, I'd say taking the chance is entirely up to you. But you need to think about your daughter who has leukemia. If it goes badly as the odds say it will, how would it effect her?

As a 54 year old man, I know it is extremely flattering to have some beautiful young sexy woman pay attention to me and "fall in love with me" but I am realistic enough to know that I am a 54 year old man....

Answer 4

Definitely get married in the U.S! She will already be here, and while she is waiting for the paperwork to go through, no matter how long it takes, she cannot be hassled or deported and you'll be together.

However, as someone said, it might take anything from 3-6 months to get her work permit that way, so if she's dependent on having a job immediately, it might be problematic ...

Answer 5

I have no idea as I live in Australia but I just wanted to say, i met my husband on the net. I already had 2 children and now we are expecting our second together and I couldnt be more happy. Good luck with your relationship and your daughter. (my daughter was diagnosed with leukaemia just 6 months into our marriage and I couldnt have gotten through it with out him)

Answer 6

Okay, if you are sure of it to be the right choice.

These days, it is difficult regardless of where you marry her for her to migrate, especially from Russia which hasn't special agreements with the US.

I'm not sure why you are posting a question here, call the department of immigration, or the consulate/embassy of USA in Russia, who will have precise information.

Answer 7

I don't want to depress you with bad news..but please listen carefully. I personally know three people who have been effected by this type of relationship. They ALL met woman online from other countries wanting to come to America...ALL of them turned out BADLY with MESSY divorces and HUGE financial LOSS!. If you want to marry her...bring her here for a visit,..get to know her first..then if you think it's worth it..marry her here so you are protected by our laws. By ALL means get a PRENUP!

Answer 8

She has a better cgance of becoming a US citizen...if you marry her in the USA.

Good luck with you marriage. I love the accents of the Russian women.
