In order for western men
to bring Russian ladies into country from
Russia, the issue of a fiancee visa (K1
visa) will need to be considered. In order
to bring a prospective bride from Russia
to the United States, for instance, there
is a good bit of information which one will
need. Regulations for most other countries
will be similar and can potentially be complicated
and/or detail-intensive. For this reason,
it is highly advisable to contact an immigration
attorney in the destination country when
a fiancee visa is being considered. What About Other Entry Visas? Back

Again, using the United States as an example,
some type of visa will be required in order
to bring your potential bride into country
from Russia. In order to bring Russian ladies
into the United States for marriage, the
only type of American visa available for
this purpose is a fiance visa. What Are The Legal Implications? Back
to TOP
Although other types of visas can be obtained,
such as student visas, tourist visas or
business visas, no American visa other than
a K1 visa will be for a Russian fiancee
if the intended purpose of having the visa
is marriage. Marriages to Russian ladies
which occur in the US while the Russian
lady is in country using any visa other
than the fiancee are risky. In these circumstances,
Russian ladies legal status in the US may
be considered to be questionable. This may
subject Russian ladies to refusal of their
status as a permanent resident. The issue
of visa fraud may also be drawn into question.
Russian ladies who violate legal regulations
in order to marry a US citizen in the US
may subject themselves to legal difficulties
and it may become impossible for them to
obtain any kind of American visa from that
point on. How Do I Get A Fiancee Visa? Back

To emphasize, the best course of action
when an American entry visa is desired for
bringing Russian ladies into the United
States (and other western countries) is
to contact an immigration attorney who will
know how to comply with all regulations
and will be able to assist in obtaining
a fiancee visa. What Are The Requirements? Back

Requirements for an American fiancee visa:
• Men
must have proof of US citizenship. • Men
must have met their fiancee in person within
the previous two years. • Both
men and ladies must be legally free to marry.
• Men

• Russian
