barfly, thanks for the advice,
i will probably try to book a disney world vacation package that is refundable and send it to my woman. Then she can use it to get a tourist visa. And then i will cancel it after the visa is approved.
It should, it has worked for me. Just make sure when she is called in for the interview she does not mention you, she has heard about Disney World for years, always wanted to go, this might be her only chance etc etc etc.
Good news is if you pull it off, subsequent tourist visas are almost automatic. Once she gets the first one and actually does return to her home country, the next one is almost a rubber stamp.
Guys.... Remember this, you are playing / gambling with her future... If she does not get the USA visa: tourist, visitor, business or other... she will get a big NO GO stamp in her passport and chances are virtually zero she will ever get to leave other than for you to go there and marry her and get her slowly back to your country via spousal visa.... Its easy for you to say well too bad and go the next girl on your list.. So think seriously if you care any thing for her to not screw up the process and for you new to all this, like anything else do serious research, this is not a get quick scheme way to get a girl over for a visit...
Regarding an earlier comment that 1000's come over yearly, this is true, its mainly family members to those girls who are already in USA and are established here, parents, grandparents, young cousins etc... they dont pose a threat in the eyes of the consular folks...
I talk frequently with our airline ticket office in Kiev... They hear all the stories ... If you should be lucky (?) to connect with a woman whose family has connections money and power... better wonder what the end game plan is... Think with your head not your dick...
I have friends there that have agencies and I hear the inside gossip... nothing new if you think unrealisticly, think they are going to drop to their knees in front of you, and that you are the greatest thing since sliced bread.... well you deserve the outcome...
You will find her ... just dont think it comes easy you got to put some serious work into it. You new guys have no idea what you are getting into if you do not have any real experience with living breathing adjusting to diverse cultures from yours... You need to adapt and understand her ways but if you find your diamond girl life is sweet...
Good luck and be realistic and have some cash or else pack it in and go home...
Good advice and I hope someone actually listens to it. Most guys have no clue as to what they are getting into. All these women say they are serious and most are serious about finding someone but uprooting their life and moving half way across the world. Good luck. The culture adjustment cannot be underestimated. In my experience these women are very proud and a better lifestyle alone is not going to carry the day, no matter how much better it may be. I would not wish my experience on anyone. I know there are people on this forum who have had success but I believe this is a small minority.
Any chance we could expand on this subject, without starting another thread, to include U.K.? I didn't think it was hideously difficult to get a tourist visa to bring a girl here, can anyone enlighten me please...?
