"As for the huge tidal wave of immigrants to Europe,..."
This is not about fleeing a war is more about Economy Opportunities. They' aren't stopping in Turkey. Just like people in southern or Central America, they won't stop till they crossed the USA border.
"This is not about fleeing a war is more about Economy Opportunities. They' aren't stopping in Turkey. Just like people in southern or Central America, they won't stop till they crossed the USA border."
If this is all about economic opportunities, (as with the Latin American illegals coming into the USA). then why has it taken so long to see these numbers? Are the "snakeheads" having a discount sale on illegal boat trips?
Why ask why... It's what it is.... Those people are not blind they welcomed all that... Plus their system is too liberal. But t besides all that ; even I, would be tempted to move back to Germany too "if" under the right circumstances.
"If you mention that you have boyfriend or a friend to meet up with you, this could set up "alarms" like Human Trafficking”
OMG! Do not our pictures from Norway, Poland, Sweden, Ukraine together give evidence that we know each other well? and that we are friends(at least!)
We also have tons of correspondence (e-mail, skype, WhatsApp, FB), every day… I have stamps in my passport that I visited Sweden several times and returned… Does it really look like “Human Trafficking”?
Anyway, I have decided to be honest in the Embassy. What happens, happens. I am not able to know what guys in the Embassy may think!!! As you said I won’t “quarrel about visa with "expert" American boy” :-) Moreover, I am not good liar. The only thing I won’t mention in the Embassy that he is my boyfriend, I am going to tell that he is just a friend and he covers part of trip expenses, while the second part I pay by myself.
“This is exactly why I think most FSU single women would prefer someone in Europe if not in the local region.”
Actually, it is not the big question for me. If I really like a man and want to be with him - I don’t care what place to be with him. I am aware of difficulties and I am not afraid of them. And for sure, I don’t want to deal with local men, I have a low regard for them. Unfortunately...

All that proof that you're in a relationship NOT that you're traveling Independently out of your own Initiative using your own Resources. My GF is planning to do get a B1/B2 visa and the travel agents told her NOT to mention me.
If she gets her request denied; then, I would use pictures/ videos taken with her in Lithuania, Latvia and her country, emails, Skype, FaceTime, etcetera....for the K1 ( fiancé/fiancée) visa.
"And for sure, I don’t want to deal with local men, I have a low regard for them."
I also would not feel secure with some of the people in my neighborhood. But, dealing with foreigners is also like a "black box" especially when you are unfamiliar with the region and way of life.
I just came across this online article about sham marriages and relationships. I am sure many immigration officials will be scrutinizing applications more closely.
"But, dealing with foreigners is also like a "black box" especially when you are unfamiliar with the region and way of life."
Dude, is like anything new. First you hesitate, feel butterflies in your stomach but after a few follow ups and courtships is like déjà vu. Remember,'every mind is a difference world, regardless of where she's from.
Worry about your relationship not about others. Only time will tell if it was a Sham-marriage-scheme or not

Dear, K-Dag! Thanks!
This is exactly what I have tried to explain him!! But I gave up!
Moreover, he told me he was going to call American Embassy when he enters Ukraine (he is coming in 10 days), because of this US travel advisory (I think you know what it is). Especially, taking into consideration that my city is not the calmest place in the Ukraine… He wants to inform the Embassy that he arrives and wants to tell about me that I am going to apply….I don’t know if it helps or thwarts…
I have been talking to several travel agents and they all have different opinions and advice about this situation. One of them told me: better to tell them truth, it is bad idea to lie at the US Embassy…
If i get my request denied – I will see what my boyfriend is going to do… I asked him about this, he told me: don’t ask me now, we will definitely find the solution… We are not discussing marriage or fiancee visa now, I don’t want to hasten him… I want everything goes natural… And I will see how serious he is and how far he is ready to go)) So, any result with visa – will be good result for me)
Since I do not read past the first page of a post because of the children fighting I do not know if you have your answer but your chances of a visa are very slim. visa journey web site can give you all the details but being young it is very rare for them to issue a visitor visa
thanks) But why do you think I am young? I am 35 yo, not so young...
One of my collegue, 28 yo, no kids, no husband,not top manager - got the visa 6 months ago
Another girl,31 yo,no kids, no husband, small salary, but have an apartment - got the visa moth ago
so I think my chances are slim not because of the age, but because of my American boyfriend))
"If i get my request denied – I will see what my boyfriend is going to do… I asked him about this, he told me: don’t ask me now, we will definitely find the solution"
If my girlfriend's B1B2 Visa gets denied, my next option is file for her K1 visa. At this stage, I already made up my mind but it is up to her to accept my proposal.
"so I think my chances are slim not because of the age, but because of my American boyfriend))"
You speech reflects your posted age. I think you know your man very well ;) don't hesitate to tell home " I told you" if things doesn't go the right way. LOL
"don't hesitate to tell home " I told you" if things doesn't go the right way. LOL"
:-)Yeah,I always want to do this!!!!! (Cause I am practical, meticulous, stubborn and in the most of cases I am right) but I hold my tongue and nevr tell))
Moreover, as many women I am good at details but not always see the "whole picture" so I put value on his advice
Can I ask for gifts for girls? My girlfriend live in Belarus, but I went from there. Soon her birthday and I need an advice how I can to congratulate her
"OMG! Do not our pictures from Norway, Poland, Sweden, Ukraine together give evidence that we know each other well? and that we are friends(at least!)

What do you have here in Ukraine? I wanted to write to you in Russian and to explain everything, but moderators won't approve russian posts.
If you have nothing in Ukraine - they won't give you visa.
If you show them your relation to their citizen that means you have nothing to do in Ukraine and you want to go there and to stay there illegally.
If you want you can find me on FB by this nickname and we'll talk, i'll tell you everything i know about this.
