I can understand the many problems FSU women have or will face in USA.
I am married to a girl from FSU; she has been here about six months; not a long time but we have an excellent relationship.
Some posters have suggested that " we should just go there and look ".
I beg to differ.
I agree some others that it is unlikely for someone to find a wife in a bar or on the street specially in a strange land, where not much English is spoken.
Here is what I did.
I choose one city, in my case Vilnius, Lithuania; because Baltic women are exceptionally beautiful, as some others here have noted. Also English is more commonly spoken there than in some other FSU countries.
My second choice would have been St. Petersburg, Russia; same reasons.
I got to know about four women well on the internet; I knew them well, BEFORE I met them. All of them were well educated, had good jobs, could communicate in English, and coming to USA was NOT their primary goal.
I brought one of them here and married her.
Marrying FSU girl has its own sets of problems; more commonly, differences in culture, attitude and language. As others have noted; their assimilation in USA is a major problem.
I had no illusions that this would be either an " easy " experience; actually I was well aware of the pitfalls, before I got into it; and prepared for them. We both knew that it is tough road ahead for us with many compromises, and chances of success would at best be very limited.
I had a pre-nuptial agreement to limit my losses in case if did not work out, drawn in Russian and English.
However so far it has worked out very well; we both are very happy.
One of the key factors was that my wife worked from the frist week on that she was here; she talked to Americans every day.
She also has a travel business; her photo is on it; you may wish to visit www.travelandtrips.com; it is one of the few websites that is in Russian and Lithuanian language originating in USA.
