Yeah never send money to a woman you don't know or met, but spend 1500 bucks to get your asx there and back on a possible zero sum gain.

Insurance really can be cheap given the right circumstances, and right frame of mind.

And you are not the only one here who has spoken for bringing a girl here sight unseen you know... so it wasn't aimed (with a small smile on my face!) directly at you..

I got a full physical last Thursday and that is exactly what the doctor said after I heard that rubber snapping sound! "BOHICA!" And I thought he had hurt himself. I am going to make sure my next doctor is married!

Hope you read my last post on the "citizenship" thread  (probably archived by now).
If it were possible to have had my wife come visit me on a first time visitor visa, I still don't think I would  have done it that way. She was a likely candidate if this indeed does exist from Ukraine...a good looking (divorced) lady?
Svetlana was a professional, studied in microbiology, a director of the regional milk product supply in Odessa..has property there...a grown son etc..left it all for me...and she is a keeper.
Seems to me anyway, that one doesn't send money for airline tickets but rather ..orders them by airline reservation.
Also remember that the US visa (which natuarally comes first) is good for 6 months.

Suggest you visit her first, if not in Ukraine, then in Budapest, Larnaka, or Istanbul.  In these places you don't need a visa, and she can get one with ease.

Pay for my visa and airline tickets is an old, big time, all or nothing (big $) scam.

But....you know best!  Carefully, well thought out, slowly, slowly, is a good approach.

Good Luck.

to be a journalist in Ukraine ?  That is like the curse of death for a job.

The mere fact she signed it "a kiss and GOOD LUCK to you", is like the writing on the wall.

I really think, if you really want to meet a girl you must go there and create a dialog with one.  This whole notion of them being a backwards society is getting old.
