 It’s not everyone, many are supportive. Most cautions come from those that would have zero experience with the process & doing so.

 

  Just yesterday I related a few of my plans to a work acquaintance, they went on to tell me about a family member that was taken advantage of with a ‘love scam’. I’m not just off the starting blocks, I’ve seen incipient untruthful events develop, steered clear. 
 

 Of course I can bounce that off others that are in the middle of longer term success with a foreign born spouse. 
 

 No I’m not about to change any actions, yes, romance scams are common. Look at recent events in Columbia, anyone should use due diligence. 
 

In a sense it can be like ‘throwing the baby out with the bath water’, to discard something real while trying to protect yourself from a scam. 

 

 I understand this audience, many in the visa process to bring someone over. I just wanted to relate something I hear fairly often. I imagine others hear similar from family & friends.

A Few of my friends cautioned me on my relationship 12 years ago due to the real fear of being used. Boy were they wrong! My baby is my best friend and we are married just over 11 years.

In June it will be 18 years I have been married to my Russian scammer.  

Looks like I am stuck with her.  LOL
