Take a pill Mikey, you're the one always blustering about how much coin you drop on each trip. Any guy who takes on this venture and thinks he's going to do it in the bargain aisle is an idiot. So what's the point of posting in the forum about how much money you drop and how much you try to impress others here. If you're looking for appreciation from someone, it's pretty shallow when the pretense is about the money you drop for her and her family. I've always found in life that the appreciation waned when the wallet got thin (or tightened up).
So when you rub it in the faces of others here how much money you drop and how you act, it's pretty silly. I've understood every word you've said in the last year. Being an honest bloke has nothing to do with appreciation. Most honest blokes don't go looking for appreciation, they pretty much move on about their lives without the worry of appreciation. Just like love mate, some guys say it other guys do it.
you have absolutely zero idea Nasfan what you are on about your chopping and changing like the wind !

mike 00
Navarreman1, I believe in fate and sole-mates. I don't believe in making decisions.
My understanding is that you have heard life and realized your opportunities and found your
solemate. This does not mean everything will automatically work out and you will live happily ever after. Many relationships with solemates fail![I have personal experience of this.]
Finding and meeting one's solemate is only the beginning. We need to work continuously with dedication,devotion and commitment to create realactionship. [I failed to live in this and made a DECISION that destroyed love.]Have you read 'Love and Betrayal' by John Amodeo? It's the best
thing I have read about realactionships. [Not that I have read very much.]
You can make it work!All the best!I wish you and the lady well!
And thankyou for your information and advice. I value it.
Nasfan6, you are married and yet you are still here, why? Little of your expert advice pertains to those who come here. Each case is different, each person is different. You just got done professing that this cannot be down on the cheap and I am here to tell you that your statement is completely false. Each person's experience will differ from all others in one way or another. In my case I am predicting having my woman in my arms here in the USA for under $5000.00. Unfortunately the USCIS fees are about to go through the roof but I would suggest that you stick to your personal knowledge and identify it as such. Your unabashed egotism is more telling about the type of person you are than you realize. You yourself have admitted that you are confrontational. Is this your motive? Just to pick fights and show what sort of arrogant ass you are? I am sure that you will have some sort of snappy comeback for me. I know you don't like to be challenged. But frankly I am tired of your shit and Newbies should know that you are not nearly the expert you profess to be. More importantly, they need to know that almost all of the information here is objective and will apply differently to each individual situation. There are few blanket answers. You know what worked for you and that is pretty much is it. There is good information there but yours is not right everytime. Certainly not in my case. Nor will my experience be shared by others nor be right everytime. The difference is that I understand and accept this. You are just a know-it-all.
Mike, I have great respect for you and what you have attempted to do. I wish I could move to Russia and get away from the idiots that run and ruin our country. You and I also have disagreed on a few points. But we both take it in stride. I don't have the cash flow you do and if I did perhaps I would have approached this differently. But hey, I'd say things worked out very well and I am happy and very lucky they did. However, before you declare that you know how Custer felt, I suggest you read some of the more current history books on the bozo. He also was a very arrogant ass and his ego got himself and all of his troops slaughtered. Against several warnings he took his few hundred troops into a battle with an estimated 20,000+ armed Indians. Oops!!! There were so many horses on the indian side that Custers scout described the "ground moving" because he could not interpret "crapload of horses" LOL So sayeth Harry Combs, author and avaition pioneer who has done extensive research on the subject. (I added that last part just so I wouldn't give nasfan the ammo he so desparately searches for) Cheers mate!
Navarreman against sounding negative, you're a long way from accomplishing anything yet. She isn't here, and that is not subjective. You can be personally tired as much as you want. Again for being confrontational, I hate hypocrisy. Challenge me anytime you wish that's fine. As for being an expert. When you are married with your lady from where ever she is, then you can tell me about experience. For now you are what you are, applying for a K1 visa, and that's the easy part. So be tired as you may be, you haven't touched the cusp of what yet lies ahead. So when you've accomplished getting her here moving her here, getting the change of status, getting her drivers license, insuring her, you will be well beyond the 5 grand mark. Then you will have the adjustment period, you will be required to do almost everything for her, including scheduling her appointments, taking her to doctors etc. Getting her used to a new society, understanding checkbooks, credit cards, our monetary system.
There's an exception to every rule, I wish you all the best but you are from from putting the feather in your hat. The K1 is the easy part. So you're not going to attend her interview at the embassy? I mean to each his own, but there are some advantages of attending her interview, but since I'm not as nearly experienced as you I will leave it at that. Don't let your own arrogance get in your way. Remember your own friend proclaims it can't be done on the cheap.
A note, nothing stops you from staying in this country. If you dislike it so much, you should consider leaving it. Live in another society for a while, but then you would have to give up everything this place offers including the ability to verbally bash it. As for the idiots that run and ruin this country I highly doubt you've done anything to try and change it here. Just run your mouth I'm sure, I bet you haven't stepped once in voting booth.
Like Amir before you, if you hate it here so much, you should consider moving to another country. The problem with you PC guys, is you want it all without sacrificing anything to achieve something. Like my father used to tell me, if you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem. So when you say the idiots that run and ruin this country, remember you are part of the constituency.
bILL navaraman yes mate i hear you on custer lol i know he was an ass its just a saying of ours hear mate when the walls are comming in around you we always say ''we know how custer felt '' lol just an anacronism you know we use hear all in good humour !

now speaking to Russians hear about it well it really gave a few of them a very dim view of ''joe westerner '' .
Advice to all !specialy on forums if somebodies going to help you then leave your cave manners at home ok .
I have spoken.
You could not be more wrong. I vote in every local and national election. If you don't vote, don't bitch. I have gone as far as to bring suit against our local politicians to enforce their own laws. It is called a Writ of Mandamus. I am indeed very involved in our political situation. Again you speak of what you do not know. I am also retired military (Air Force) so I have done my time (3 wars) and saluted our flag more times than I can remember. Don't make the mistake that I do not support our country or way of life. But when our VP says he is above the law and does not belong to the Executive Branch it is time to question the morals of the folks that run this great country. It so happens that while I was in Russia I inquired about putting my skills to work in a developing democracy. I lack the language, not the skills, to be successful in Russia. Does it mean I don't love my country, not at all. I do not have close family as she does and it is unrealistic to think that the only answer is to remove her from her home. I investigate all possibilities as I see them.
As for bringing her here on the cheap, I have spoken only about what I have accomplished and my experience in doing so. I make sure that I say that IT IS MY EXPERIENCE and a person’s personal situation may differ. The discussion was about getting her here, not the years to come. I am fully aware that the road is long. I have no allusions about how long and difficult a road it may be. But I am doing all that I can to prepare myself for the journey. It is these questions that I come here for advice. Who knows, you may actually have information I may need. But your constant attacks are not welcome and they certainly turn me away from asking you for your input. If you are aiming for credibility I suggest developing better diplomacy instead of the bull in a china shop tack you seem to take time and again. Most of us here I think are intelligent and serious about our search, and would like to be treated with respect. It is a huge step and challenge we have volunteered ourselves for. Try and give us a little credit for choosing the route you yourself decided to take.
AWAYIN... I could not be more in agreement with your comments about the road ahead. I have contacted many Russians locally and asked for their input as well as sought counseling on the subject. Perhaps I will check out the book you recommend. I have included some of the Russians I have met in phone calls to my lady and she has made a few long distance friends. Some now call her on their own and they are helpful in preparing her for the adjustment ahead. I have found that the local Russian Non-denominational church to be of immeasurable help. They are great people and have assisted in translations and teaching me some Russian. They all look forward to meeting her and welcoming into their “flock”.
I do find it appalling that there are those who just expect everything to work first time at bat. Every successful relationship takes work from both sides. I suppose that if she just wants out of FSU and Joe USA just wants to be sugar daddy then maybe a working relationship could be created but that is not my style. I consider myself very lucky to have met this lady and been afforded the opportunity to build communication first rather than hop in the sack and see how it goes. That is more or less my history. That is why this is so different from anything I have experienced before. I cross my fingers and will give my all and I believe that she will as well. As Nasfan pointed out, there are many issues ahead of us. Green card, AOS, driver’s license and much more. I am ready for the challenge and even look forward to the experience. My legal background and experience with government agencies should be beneficial to the cause. Only time will tell. Thanks for your input.
Navarreman, Maybe you been there already but you should check out the visajourney forum. They have a wealth of info there for us guys that brought our ladies back and even into adjustment of status and beyond. Alot of nice people there and you may find it as usful as I did and still do.
Navarre I will see your Writ of Mandamus and raise you a Amicus curiae brief. I have read my Marbury v. Madisona and can regurgitate in my sleep.
As for questioning the Morals of the people don't you think the morals should have been questioned along time ago, maybe with the previous administration. It doesn't take too much to figure a persons political leanings especially when the take a certain line and anyone else that is willing to challenge such is a bull in a china shop. If you are on the side of democrats you support socialism. If you are with the Republicans, who knows what they support now. Diplomacy is a way over stated concept, it used especially when others have no solution or willings to step it up to the next level.Remember Chamberlain coming back and saying peace was at hand in our times, Churchill was that bull in the china shopl I guess lying to the American public as Clinton did was good diplomacy? My constant attacks? Well when its bullshit I will take it straight on. You accused me of attacking you in an early post. So dissent is attacking? Again if saying sending money to someone you've never met is foolish is attacking, then you are thin skinned. Also Bill study a little more, Russia is far from a developing democracy and as long as Putin is there it will be nothing more than an Oligarchy heading back to where it was before. By the way I wore the uniform of my country also. It doesn't make us better than the ones who didn't.
Mike00 again you speak you speak of a situation you know little of. Life in America, you can again play on words. Who said nursemaid? She will be solely dependant on you in the beginning, but since you don't have the courage to bring your lady to Australia, so she can figure out your just a typical joe you don't carry the weight. She will be landlocked unless your state will honor an international license as Indiana does. It did for a year or until she had her change of status. Riding a bus in the states isn't the same as catching one in Ukraine or Russia,Medical care is way different, understanding insurance etc. Unless a lady is fluent in english she will
help and the english they teach in the FSU isn't the same as spoken in England or the US. 90 day holiday doesn't qualify for anything. When you've been living with someone almost 2 years in your home country then I will take your post with some credibility. How's that for ice water bigmouth. No dampening of enthusiasm, remember you're the guy just about facts, you have no facts of America or the way of life here. I hope Navarre succeeds beyond all belief. I wonder what the definition of someone who writes in the Australian version of Cockney slang is? A dipstick?
OH,by the way "One trip Wonders" "Not referring to you Bill" is that a form of diplomacy? Or is that pandering? I'm really confused? Kind of like talking about living with a woman in your own country but not really doing it? Yep I'm the Moron, idiot and dipstick! LOL. I love the buddy system on the forum.
I just love it when someone starts their post with a 'your wrong'
Guys, there's my view and your view and lots in the middle.
Read posts and if there are words like 'I doubt'....'I bet'.....'probably'....'should be', they are merely
opinions of someone about somone. If not accurate, correct them with your facts and that is the end of that story.
Since we are critiquing, it is "you're" not your, and what I was referring to was nasfan's insistence that he knows all about me. That does not qualify as an opinion, but that is just my opinion. At least we all agree with the opinion part. Everybody's has one.
I will say this; the two previous posts say more with fewer words than just about any I have seen. Both are 100% correct, again just my opinion. If you examine the course of this thread you will see that I was arguing that very point.
Nasfan, Amicus Curiae does not apply in any way shape or form in my response to you, but congrats on the Marbury v. Madison because it is very similar to the aforementioned Writ. Google is a great thing isn't it? Have a nice day :O)
I base all my decisions on the court case Opinion v Opinion...of course that is my opinion.
Everything qualifies for an opinion, it may not be very factual, but it qualifies, that is my opinion and if
you disagree, you'd be wrong! ????????????????????
