In two weeks my lady is coming to USA from Russia. I do not need to share details of the relationship only that it is solid. I'm sure the skeptics and naysayers may add a comment or two... Arrive in NYC, spend night and see first Broadway show next afternoon. See Times Square that evening. First for me too! And if the Letterman staff comes through will be on Late Show Monday night! Now hoping weather will not cause a delay. Hopefully this will inspire some of you. Batman Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 2/28/2010 9:07:01 PM   Way to go Ralph--nice job!

Muzzy Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/1/2010 3:27:07 AM   Ralph, you da man!! I hope it continues to go so well, and I can see myself asking for much advice in the future. Harvey Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/1/2010 2:41:37 PM   if she screws one of my mates? I'm sure there is a much longer waiting list to get on the Springer show. but if I do go on the Springer show I'll be sure to invite you dansing... maybe bring all of your "buddies" along from the forum -- that would be a great Springer show!!!!!!!! no doubt... ding-ding-ding! It has been a weird series of events for me this past year... work etc...a lot of etc... no-one can possibly understand all of the events I went through - an unusual series of events to say the least. yet all of the time I have been in constant contact - daily conversations or at least email with my lady. applied for visa end of July. got approval in November. visa interview in February. interview took all of five minutes - but she told me of others who were at interview same day who were denied. the consulate takes it seriously - have all your ducks in a row and be able to prove it is real. a good thing is that I spent the new year's holiday with her and her family - she said the interviewer's eyes lit up when she told her this. being with her just a month before the visa interview was bonus points. all they did was look at a few recent photos of us together all over the place in January. they asked her about my work, family and some standard questions... she said the interviewer told her, "Congratulations, good luck in America." The very next day we arranged a flight. She received visa by DHL the following Monday. Now I am watching the weather reports daily. Actually next week the seven day forecast will tell. Checking into hotel in Manhattan, getting limo to pick her up at airport and head back to hotel. Got one quote for $125. Considering aggravation of driving through NYC, parking and time it is money well spent. Shopping for a dress (and "new hi-heels" of course!) next day and heading to the show! This will be the first time I take her shopping for herself! All the times I spent with her in Russia/ Kiev, she made arrangements, paid for things or shared cost. Now it is my turn to actually take her shopping for something for herself. It reminds me of when I wanted to buy her a pendant for her neck chain last year and she refused saying it was a frivolous waste of money. Hopefully she keeps that same attitude or I'm in trouble! Thank you to all.

Harvey Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/3/2010 5:02:24 PM   danshit, I know that if I was somewhere near we could have a beer, borrow tools and perve at the missus in the pool. But I have no need to run from a jealous husband or need a hand handling it if it came to that. But seriously, you make no sense other than to try to bait me into a dialogue of bashing and mud slinging. I secretly admire your honesty sometimes. But most other times you just come across as a fool. The kind of fool that would be well suited to appear on the springer show. I have done my best to stay out of the weirdness that goes on between some other forum members and yourself. But occasionally I get a chuckle from it. I had my period of stupidity with Raging Bull. And it was utter nonsense. I can't ask of you to go away. It is not my business. But I'm sure many others will agree, you need to go skydiving without a parachute. bowhunter Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/3/2010 8:13:20 PM   congrats Ralph I might have a few connections in NY if you need anything just let me know.

Mini Cooper Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/4/2010 1:08:34 AM   Congratulations Ralph29, I remember when I was in your shoes it was November 2005... I was bringing my Russian fiancee to the USA... enjoy your time with her and remember that she will depend on you for everything... you must never be angry with her because she will not have anyone to talk with to relieve her anxiety over your disagreements. She will be vulnerable and fragile for the first year or until whe gets a job. After she get hers first job she will become more normal. Mini Cooper Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/4/2010 1:10:28 AM   This is my experience! dansing ... shut up stupid person tommygee2 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/4/2010 5:47:27 AM   It is not hard to admit for me alot of this until recent years ago, was all uncharted territory. I know that many won't set their ego aside, and admit when their out of their depth. I've been scammed, and heard it all, from those men that continue to got through the "drama cycles" with indigenous women from their home countries. They tell me, "I wouldn't do what your doing, if it were the last way to get a woman." And guess what? They go through the same exact scenarios that I've faced online, and are still alone. I've heard "horror stories" and know alot of that was from men who hadn't done their due diligence, and schooled themselves on what they were getting themselves into. I've a friend that 2 and a half years ago, married a woman from Canada, and he'd only known her for less than 2 months at the time. All of the usual suspect told him he was daft, but, what they failed to see was it was his life, his decision. I know from my experience that if you get burned for whatever reason, you can't retreat, but have to keep going forward, and chalk it up to experience. You either put yourself out there or you stay alone. Harvey Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/4/2010 10:26:19 AM   MC - thanks, I know this but it is good to be reminded of this fact. Even she reminds me, "I will totally dependent on you." :) I have been looking in the area for Russian speaking and cultural organizations. I want to get her networking and to make some friends with Russian people in the area. I was amazed when I found out how many there actually are. There is also a Russian grocery about a half hour from here. The business card is in Russian and email is still xxxxx.ru Thanks for the words of encouragement. She has been in contact with a friend from her university who lives out west who is giving her advice on acclimating to America - she shares all of this with me. Amazing it is less than ten days away. We talk two or three times a day now. Skype is awesome! baron555 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/4/2010 12:19:20 PM   Set her up with an international calling card to use to contact family and friends back home. Also set her up with a computer with Skype so she can do that also. How is her English? If she needs improvement there, I can send you some links to very nice ESL American English for Russians programs and workbooks to use. If you want send me a PM and I can send you my Alla's email so maybe they can contact each other and Alla can give her the scoop so far on her "happy movie" being here for three months now. bowhunter Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/4/2010 10:05:38 PM   Ralph check pm Harvey Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/5/2010 9:26:22 AM   thanks baron, her English is pretty good -- except for the fact that she doesn't get much practice speaking. I think time and exposure is all she will need to get good. I asked her if I should get something and she said it is not necessary -- only being able to hear daily conversation it what she needs. Time will tell. I will take you up on contact with Alla though. As for international calling card, I spoke to Verizon rep a couple months ago. It seems cheap to be able to have direct calling to Russia with their international plan. They automatically added it to my account after the first couple calls. But it is interesting that when I called her using attnt calling card from a pay phone last summer it was much cheaper than calling someone in the same state. ??? There is already a laptop with skype on it waiting for her. Plus she is bringing her own one or two laptops. baron555 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/5/2010 10:50:17 AM   I use a cheap ClonCom calling card. Automatic replenishment and very good connection quality. Terry BULL Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/6/2010 11:54:47 AM   This is an excellent forumm full of usefull advice.
