As for passports, you see when a woman here gets divorced, she applies for the new passport, in which she may put maiden name or her husband's name, and usually it is not put the mark that she was married and she was divorced. Surely the woman is supposed to give out her passport back and receive a new one, but some girls, "lose" their passports (meaning they claim that they lost their passports, paying some small fee, and then have an old passport, though it is signed there that she is married) and a new passport as well.
By the way when a woman brings the passport to ZAGS they put a stamp on the first page that the her last name (if she wishes it to be changed to her husband's last name) and the passport must be changed within 30 days.
My wife has more than one passport with different name and birthdates. I know that the passport does not normally have the married name on it. This is NOT the concern. The concern is the ability to obtain more than one...perhaps several passports with different names and different birthdates. I have never heard of such a thing but I gi uess in Ukraine and in Russia it is a common practice if my wife with a legal name of Iolanta Borisenko and date of birth 3 June 1962 can obtain a passport with the name LANA and a completely different surname...not Borisenko which is her real name and a passport with a false birthdate which makes her much younger..in this case 3 years. She also has another where she is LANA Sgorska with a date of birth of 3 September 1965. I know of at least 3 passports she has. Seems if my wife can obtain then and she is simply an average girl I (we) must assume that any woman from Ukraine or Russia can also obtain several passports.
Than is the point. Lets not cloud the waters with irrelevant details and procedures.
Well i no that a few others are still active here from time to time but i am curious Steve that you were married in 2002 and are here yourself ? I hope that once me and my lady have tied the knot I shall not be visiting fiance.com or the forum after a year, no offence meant to all the guys but i think i shall have other things to be get on with.
Dare I suggest it. oh ok. Perhaps you and your lady are playin the same games. this thread is to close to western standards for my liking.
Southern:
as you know I am married too now....(very happily),and my visits here are a lot less frequent than they used to be,but the kick from seeing the success stories when I do get time online makes up for that 1000 fold,and as stated quite often any aquired knowledge is happily passed on to the others still looking.
Quite honestly.......this forum is one of the most knowledgeable and helpful I have ever had the pleasure of being part of.The rapport is there..........the trust is there.......long may it continue!!!
I wasn`t knocking Steve for being here, i hope to keep my eye on things and contribute to others also. Its just a strange thread/story. I have always had a tendancy to run from relationships when things are a little strange or complicated and from what i read here i would be running, very strange and complicated this. Best wishes 4 steve,I hope it works out.
Thanks Guys for your support. I love my wife VERY MUCH. I am stuggling with what to do. She says she loves me and I ...for some strange reason, believe her. I am trying to work things out but I keep discovering more and more. Just 2 days ago I discovered she was on Kiev Connections...not any more I might add, but the American owner of Kiev Connections told me she is very popular and on about 100 sites. She is in the Ukraine now and says that she wants to come here quickly and loves me very much. I am doing all that I can but starting new work and a new business is tough. She has a daughter...that is the problem. Her daughter is a sweet and beautiful little girl of 9 years and needs security. Certainly I can provide that but my wife is HIGH MAINTENANCE.....did somebody say "caviat emptor" or "Buyer beware". Still, I am a good Christian guy and believe in marriage...sometimes to my own detriment. My wife recently told me that if I "can bring her here again soon she will kiss me every 5 minutes". Strangely...I believe her. Thanks for the well wishes. I wish all you guys very good fortune.
Yes, mine is a crazy situation.
I am including the words from Bret at Kiev Connections after I informed him. By the way...Bret did remove her ...at least temporarily. I hope with the additional information I sent to him today...he too will be satisfied and remover her "permanaetly as her promises in his e-mail.
Brets e-mail follows:
Steve,
If this is true I am sorry for you. Lana is a very popular lady on the
Internet. She is on over 100 sites. Because of that I have had my
suspicions of her but she has never done anything wrong.
I have talked to several men who have been out with her and she has not
scammed them in any way.
I will remover her from my site pending an investigation. Please supply
me with any information and proof so I can permanently remover her.
Again if this is true, I ma sorry for you and the problems you have had
but thank you for the information.
Brett

Subject: Hello Bret...Did you receive my e-mail regarding my wife
Dear Bret,
Please contact me concerning this...if it concerns you at all. I will
greatly appreciate it if you will.
Kiev Connections: # 3015 Lana Sgorska is my wife Iolanta (Borisenko)
Clark, who is actually 42 years and born on 3 June 1962. Her daughter
is 9 years old and we have been married since 31 December 2002. I have
a copy of her passport, our marriage certificate and recent e-mails from
her. If you will only write to me I will supply you with all of the
details. I do not wish to embarrass her but truly...you should NOT have
her on your Kiev Connections site when she is married and the
information is completely false. Any American man who writes to
her...it is impossible for him to obtain a visa and his money should be
returned and for all European men...they will be surprised to know she
is married also....I am sure that cannot imagine themselves being
married to a woman with multiple passports and where she is supposed to
be 38 years but in truth is 42 years and married to an American man.
Please contact me for details and I will happily provide them to any
person associated with Kiev Connections with the authority to make a
decision.
Thank you.
Steve Clark
PS It appears my wife Iolanta Borisenko has at least 2 and possible 3
passports with different names, and birthdates. I have the copies of 2
of her passports.
For much more information....my comments regarding this whole mess...Please refer to the following locations on this site. You may have to go to page #2 for most of the comments.
Steve, You better get busy and start writing to the other 99 sites your wife is on. No one here wants any woman that's already married.I speak for myself but I understand your situation and feel for you but it's getting old now. We don't want her, you can have her. Move on to someone else's forum.
steve, Dale E is right... you should report your "love" to stop-scammers.com, contact the other sites she is on, and report the scam to them. Wife or not, SHE IS A SCAMMER. She is giving false information. For fun, and because I am bored, I write to scammers to waste their time and resources. Maybe I can write to your wife?
Does she like pearl necklaces?
dis- I was just thinkin the same, a few of us should write to her. check her responces and forward them back to steve. The only way steve will know for sure what she is doing is to test her a little.
But steve it should be your lady removing her profiles from sites. If she loves you she should be doing this herself not you doing it behind her back..
If my wife was described to me as a "very popular lady" by a dating agency, I would guess that she doesn't love me. That's just my opinion.
I would say, "good-bye, my beautiful slut wife!"
Time to close this thread!!Getting boring! Steve if all is true what you write, I feel for you man, but it's time to move on. This sounds like a States marriage gone south. Been there done that. Good luck my
friend in the future.
Steve,
I don't think anyone here will honestly make light of your situation, but with the massive amount of evidence to label your wife "Much less than loyal", I can't understand why in the world you seem to think there is the slightest shred of hope that your marriage can survive one minute longer....
Right after I came across your posting in this forum we contacted the local agency in Kiev and asked them to send us the copy of Lana’s passport. So they did. After that, I posted my reply thinking that it was based on the real facts. Actually, it was. How could I know that the lady has 2 passports and the real story is different from what she says?
Steve, you provided me with enough proves of that this lady (Lana/Iolanta) is your wife. It doesn’t really matter for us whether this marriage is pro forma or actual. We deleted the lady from our system permanently on basis of the evidences you presented to us.
We’ve already returned money to those clients who wrote to us and complained about this situation. And we’ll definitely refund money to all the clients who will contact us in the future. The whole story is too complicated. You say to everybody on this forum that your wife is on about 100 sites. She says that you knew that she attends marriage agencies. And I think it’s true because she didn’t try to hide this fact (otherwise, she would be hesitant to be on so many sites). Many guys called this lady even through our company. She must be in contact with many other men. Sorry, I know it’s painful for you to hear that but only truth matters. I repeat once again – now I believe that the lady is your wife but too many facts make me think that this marriage is not serious from the lady’s side. Sorry again.
Our decision is the following: we will return money to those clients who will apply to us and complaint about this case, as we always do when the lady is suddenly removed from our database due to different reasons.
This case is a black eye to the whole east/west relationship quest...Bummer.
To the untrained eye it makes women from her country look like a pack of opportunistic and unscrupulous whores and it makes western men look like incapable, insecure men unfit to lead a woman or handle the reins under his own roof.
hopefully those reading the series of posting relating to Steve's case will see that only one case, no matter how much it's talked about, does not represent the whole truth about how people really are in the east and west.
Thank you for your reply. I wish to categarically State...I did not know my wife was advertising on all of these internet sites. Following your logic, IF I knew and approved, then WHY would I complain and provide proof to you and to Kiev Connections and to many other sites where she is posting her photos?
My wife, Obviously, does not care about your agency or any other agency and the agancies reputation. She does not care about the gentlemen who write to her and their life and concerns. She represents herself as years younger than she is and with completely different names. If I know she was doing this and approved...why would she need to use different names and passports and birthdates....claiming she is much younger than she truly is?
It appears she has at least 3 passports as she was 38 years on the Kiev Connections website and her name was Lana Sgorska....Born September 3 1965. Kiev Connections, I have been told, also checked her passport. ALL OF THE MEN WHO INQUIRE ABOUT HER SHOULD BE TOLD ALL OF THE DETAILS. They have been cheated...if not by Anastasia Web...then by my wife who lied to them and deceived them regarding many factors of her true life.
I truly do not believe that ANY man wishes to spen his hard earned money on a woman he will later find out is married, is much older than he thinks, has many alias' and is perpetrating a fraud with her government in obtaining multiple passports and then in asserting those passports are genuine for the purposes of doing business with agencies like Anastasia Web. Kiev Connections, 1st-international, Russian Brides, Beauty a Abroad, Angelica, Love24hrs...etc, etc, etc....ad infinitum !
My wife is quite disturbed and certainly has no ethical sense or moral compass.
Toad....."insecure?" "Incapable ?" "Unfit to lead a woman or handle the reins underr his own roof?" I should have called you TOAD...after all you speak to GOD and you know all hear and can do all. I'll know next time. In addition Toad, a man who intimates he is secure, fit to lead, capable and can "Handle the reins under his own roof"....quest I have is....Why are you hear in this website reading all of these comments and injecting your own? If you have such insight and control...as you intimate...then you should be able to go at this without any fear or concern. Perhaps you are insecure, incapable, ineffective, indecisive, unfit to lead or follow, handle the reains under your own roof and you are simply terrified to go to one of the CIS countries....meet and soon take a wife.
Toad...you are quite arrogant and...I will make a prediction...your arrogance has bitten you in the butt in the past...in many aspects of your life and it will certainly bite you many times HARD in the future.
God desires us to be humble and to love and trust. I did so and got burnt badly. Toad, you and I do agree on one thing though....I truly believe the vast majority of women in these CIS countries are good, decent, hones, moral, ethical and would make wonderful wives to a man with the same qualities.
I'm not going to place a bet on you though TOAD...not until you look into the mirror long and hard.
