Marrying a Russian Woman: Official Matters

Profile

American gentlemen are sometimes really scared of facing all the administrative issues and visa hassle which happen during the process of marrying a Russian bride. Relax and say good-buy to your fears! After a while you will remember your wedding arrangements and the dismay related to them with a knowing smile.

First and foremost, you should learn everything about the special non-immigrant visa, which is called "K1-fiancée visa." Once your Russian bride gets her K1-fiancée visa approved, you need to get married in the States during 90 days since then. Otherwise, she will have to return to her country. Remember also that as soon as you have registered your relationship by marriage in the USA, you will need to prove that you live together as a family.

As an inviting party and a future husband, you will have to submit a Petition for Alien Fiancé (Form I-129F) to get the initial K1-fiancée visa. The petition aims to bring your fiancée and her children to the US.

Also find out all the information concerning K-3 visa, which suites spouses of U.S. citizens who are staying abroad waiting for an immigrant visa, and K-4 visa for unmarried children under age of 21, of K-3 visa applicants.

K-3 and K-4 visa holders are permitted to get employed in the USA by obtaining an Employment Authorization Document, so your new family members will be able to adjust to their new lives in America.

It may look scary but actually the logic of the process is pretty simple. All you have to do is to carefully fill in every document. If you are too busy, apply to the agencies specializing on these issues. You can also hire a lawyer who will see to your visa processing and will update you regularly. Attorneys’ services are costly, but they will save you time and nerves.

Russian Brides and Specifics of Russian Geography

Profile

Russia is the biggest country in the world. There are eight time zones in Russia. It means that this country is so big that if you are going to cross it from one end to another, it will be equal to covering the distance between San Francisco and London, or crossing the whole part of the continental United States and the Atlantic Ocean.

Looking for your bride in Russia? Then it would be wise of you to focus on one of its numerous regions, especially when you communicate with several Russian ladies at the same time. The concentration of your potential fiancés in one region will make possible your meeting them in person during one journey to Russia. Otherwise, your trip will take too much time and effort and exhaust you.

It is pretty hard to characterize people living in a certain geographic region, though there are certain specifics that can be mentioned in this regard. The knowledge of these specifics might help you in choosing a particular Russian region where you would prefer to look for your bride. For instance, it would be worth mentioning that due to the rich stock of natural resources and a big number of industrial enterprises in Siberia, there are many technologists and engineers in this Russian region, highly educated and intelligent women among them. The Russian Far East is also famous for its beautiful and smart young women, who are adaptable and strong. Ladies from western parts of Russia and European cities like Moscow or St. Petersburg are usually cosmopolitan. And women living in Central Asia, where the Muslim influence is very strong are known to be more respectful to men than women from other parts of Russia.

In spite of these relative differences, Russian ladies have many things in common. They are usually well-educated and good looking. Although they might not be fixed on sports too much, the majority of Russian women manage to maintain a good physical form. It is achieved due to way they had been raised since they were children. Brisk walking, for example, is something inherent to their lifestyle, a sort of daily exercise for many Russian people. In addition, Russian girls and women can cook well and most of them enjoy cooking. That makes them hospitable hostesses, good wives and nurturing mothers.

This is Just Business

Profile

Online marriage agencies have a rich assortment of young sexy single Russian women eager to get married to you. Have it ever occurred to you why these attractive ladies would fall in love with you, personally? In other words, just because agencies promise this, is it realistic?

Are these girls as pretty in reality as on their pictures placed in the web? Sure, they might be that pretty. Also, as most of the young girls, they might look for a stunningly handsome fiancée not much older than they are. The main word here is "young", so it is quite unrealistic to expect that the dating agencies' statements about young women's eagerness to marry men much older than they are have some ground.

You have to realize that this is just business. An entrepreneurial activity aimed at Western men, willing to find Russian wives and start their lives anew. Practically all Internet marriage sites have success stories about international couples with a young lady cherishing her aging, but adorable husband. In this case, marriages with a big age difference between the spouses would be frequent in Russia too, but it is not so.

Use your common sense while reading these stories. It is not worth trusting those online ads that assure you of the Russian girls' intentions to marry men considerably older than they are. If you want to marry a Russian woman, it will be safer look for a mature lady who will share your interests and be of your age.
