Hello All,
I am new to these forums, I read a lot of forums and was amazed by the information that is available ... I would like to introduce myself as Sash an Indian working in the US, my story might be a little differnt that most. I met a girl from Moldova by accident not knowing anything about Moldova, Russia and so forth. I met her 4 years ago in Europe on a vacation.... I am lucky to say that i met her through a more traditional way (actually met a stranger and fall in love)
although we arent together now after 4 years, we both are the best of friends we talk to each other on a regular basis... we wanted to get married by I had a very crazy time 2 years ago ..( lost my passport - Damn FEDEX !!, had 2 car accidents one of them - I barely came out alive after missing the edge of a cliff :), the CEO of the company I used to work for got arrested for money scandals :) and I lost my Job when the management changed ) well all i can say is i have had a very interesting and adventurous life :)
Now to the point
1) I noticed a lot of negative comments about this Radu Sargu - I am too late I have already applied for my Invitation through this Guy (spent $175) - Am i at the risk of losing my Money ? so far he has responded back quickly ... Pls advice
2) Offcourse I have my Female Friend :) who lives in Chsisnau and i could have got my invite through her ... but I wanted to make a suprise for her ... I want to be there for her birthday ... i have known her for 4 years and have travelled with her to europe in the past ... we even got engaged 2 years ago
See I think I am a realistic person .. I still like this girl ... and my biggest attraction is the fact that she just is herself ... she is not all warm and fuzzy with me 24x7 ... I have learnt about moldova and moldovan women after the fact that i met her (which was interesting)... she fell in love with me when i was a student with no Future:) ... You see we called it as OVER between us interms of marraige when i got a job and started making money but had a very bad year and lost over $10K infact I lost my passport while applying for my Visa to go see her ... the Embassy shipped my Passport using the self addressed envolope that i had sent them and I never got my passport back ..... she is 30 and offcourse she lost hopes ...
I would like your advice .. I am 27 Years old and she is 30 ... She knows I am a stubborn Pig ... If you want to stop me you better kill me and verify that I am Dead :) If you leave me with a heart beat still on then I am comming back - Thats my motto in life ... I am stubborn and just do not like the word QUIT ! although Stubborn I am humble when it comes to taking advice from people who know better ... ( A big BOW to all you guys here :) )
Is there anyone who has made it after knowing a girl for 4 years ? and do you think this suprise visit is a good idea or should i tell her i am comming to see her ?? (Time factor - the wait factor is what drew us away from marraige) any advice on the time factor ... ? I know she is still not seeing anyone .. I know she hates men :)
dont forget about the RADU part ... I want to know if i just had some more gone down the drain .. if it is i will start using someone else to get my invite right away .. cause i wanna be in Moldova this december ...
I will appreciate any and all of your thoughts ....
Sincerely,
Sash

I think he will get you the invitation, its an easy process, I'm sure hes keen to get you over there and get you in to one of his apartments. $175! well i hope that includes getting it mailed to you by Fedex! Get the visa at the airport this time, forget about the embassey.
2) Offcourse I have my Female Friend :) who lives in Chsisnau and i could have got my invite through her ... but I wanted to make a suprise for her ...

Surprsing her would be good if you think that will work (I assume you think she'll be pleased to see you...only you can decide that). I'd suggest getting there and staying in the hotel/apartment first so you can rest and be refreshed before you meet her especially if your coming all the way from the US.
Thanx Ben, I have spent a few hours here reading through forums listed, wow just as usual ... A lot of comments a lot of interesting debates , I think people must realise cases like mine - I wont go into details but People should know that there Women in these countries are normal people. .. A lot of people here speak a lot about these woman like they have known them for ages :)
well I hope my statement here makes a point , I have met here in 2 different countries HUngary and Bulgaria and I am living testimont to defy some theories that i read in these forums ! She spent about $300 to come see me in Hungary for a Vacation that lasted over a month ...
I have tried hard to understand a different culture - Russian in this case Since I am an INDIAN... My beliefs and culture is totally differnt beast :) But I beleive the success to my relationship will be a total Zero if i dont understand Russian Culture ... One thing I am certain of is Men can adapt to a culture way quicker than a woman .. me for example will blend into any culture as long as its lucrative (Money !! :)) and I come from a conservative society and after spending 1 year in the US i was on my way jamming to metal, groovin to Hip Hop and calling my friends Wassup Dog :) I beleive men adapt to every circumstance and as long as the he has 3 things in life , Money.. Postiion and Woman....
While Women - Especially FSU woman are hard to understand, you see in my Culture woman are extremely Dependant ( things are changing now) but they are worse than FSU women when it comes to taking shit from Men..... its bad ... I know women that go to the very last drop of blood to save a marraige ... cause Divorce is a BIG ASS NO in India ... You are the joke of the Nation if you are Divorced :) Sad but true ....
I wish someone would tell me how well things went when they got married to a Russian women and possibly the first year of living in the US .. which to me is the scariest part ..!! because I know it is going to be hard for me and twice as hard for her !!! she is going to have a very nasty first year until she adapts and most of all the first year to me will decide the life of the relationship to a large extent if not fully ....
I wish more people can throw their ideas at this point (the first year of marraige ) more than talking about whether a russian women is this or that :) She is a WOMAN ... what else do you need :) .. I hope i can get some good perspective on such important details ... How do you manage ..
1) she is home alone while you are at work ...
2) the Language barrier ... how to cope
3) Do you send her to school ...
4) does she understand how FInance in US works ??
5) does she understand how daily life happens here in US ...
I wish we could throw more light into such topics ...
But Thank you for your COnfirmation on Radu ... I hope i will get my invite .. But I will be sure to book my own Hotels :) ....
By the way I am going for her birthday which is going to be double the fun... regardless of the relationship and the end result .... I know I am going to make someone happy and I am going to have a blast ... I love giving ridiculous suprises :)
Just a point worth noting ... I was recomended to Ragu by Marisha ... I have read some good remarks about her .. its hard to beleive she would recommend me to a prick ... oh well if he gets me my invite ... I am happy ....
Also FYI to some folks who absolutely need invites ... You CAN GET Multiple Entry 1 YEAR Visas to moldova .. its more of a Business Visa ... but its possible and I think there are people who do it ....
Radu? Invitation? You dont need a midlle man to go to Moldova. You take a plane there and get your visa at the airport for $60. No invitation, nothing more. Dont get sucked into these scams guys.
Moldova issues no visas at airport, and this guy may even require an invitation, since he's an east "indian working in the US."
And RADU is on one month vacation.
Thanx to all for the feedback, I would be happy if i got my Invite from this guy, I plan to get my hotel booking done by myself ... But i sure to hope i could get a good deal ...
