um, that sounds like you're shopping at k-mart for blue light specials.

sorry for not saying "I am going to meet the one ultimate lady who is the end all perfect woman who I will marry soon"

Surely if you were going thru this a second time, you would be more cautious

jeez...

So you don't think that law wasn't put in place for situations like this...? If not, go back, read this thread again, and answer again.

Why don't you go back and re-read this thread? In fact, go back and read the new law passed. It won't matter anyway because I will be filing after 2yrs most likely.

Not come here to tell everyone now i will go shopping and i have two in mind

The thing is, you guys do not know my first experience. I invested alot of time into it and things didn't work out.

And yes, there is one main lady I am going to meet who I have been communicating with. Perhaps I shouldn't have worded it as "shopping". I think if this were a different forum (ex. RWguide) opinions would be different.

I am not trying to argue with people here; just wanted to let people know I may be going thru the process again.

Maybe this thread should be deleted by a mod...

Ok, so my first NOA was 9/15/05. If I file after 9/15/07, do I even need to worry about this?

I don't wish you future success. Sorry...

Thanks for your stupid opinion. The law was not put in place for situations like this. The only thing that wasn't legit was the woman I brought here.

Congrats

During the whole process I was not touched once.

doh, yes meant RFE

Any tips on what not to do?

well I think the biggest you don't want to do is worry....It seemed like everyday that passed by was an eternity. And when I noticed I was "touched", it was like winning the lottery. I actually had an NOA on my first K1 so I feel like I am more knowledgeable about them. If you do get one, just provide what they ask and don't stress over it.

In all honesty, I haven't had the best luck with American ladies; have had my share of relationships. I really believe I can find a nice Ukranian lady and am willing to go thru the process again.

sorry, it just seemed like a bit of a personal attack on me. I would never question someone's methods for trying to find their soulmate.

yes, aware of the new law, thanks for reminding me though...

sorry thats something i would not be advertising, i think most come on here with someone already in mind

Hi, well I do have someone in mind; I have been communicating with her for a while.

But I am somewhat more cautious because I went thru the K1 process in the past and it didn't work out.

Longer than you.

And yet you still don't understand that not every relationship doesn't work out and guys make multiple trips...amazing

Go hijack a thread somewhere else; all I wanted to do was let people know that I might be going thru the process again

Sugar, I love an Irish accent (hubby's from there in case you didn't know) but I don't think I'd go sporting for another one.

Well, that's you. Sorry, but I am not wasting my time with American women; been there done that. You think all American guys who go thru a K1 get married to that woman ? Many do not and make multiple trips. How long have you been on this forum?? lol

It relates to my first experience....I'd rather not explain my feelings in this thread. As for it being expensive, that's not an issue.

And here I thought I was going to get a soulful response to my question.

start another thread and you might....surely there are alot of guys who could write a book on reasons why...lol

Would you marry the Back up if the first one is not what you thought?

Like I guess I'm trying to say...are you coming home engaged, but just not yet certain to whom?

Sorry if I confused you. This is my first trip over to meet these 2 ladies. I am not necessarily going to marry anyone after lol

If things work out, then I will do a K1. But the trip is 12 days and I may make a second just to confirm things

Good luck and hope it works out !!

Hi Lisa, she is more of a "back-up". A nice girl but with less in common....

The site I am using: http://www.lvivbrides.com

The owners are really nice people who actually "know the women well. Wow, what a crazy thought! lol

Oh Becc... you've been here long enough to know why....

Flying to meet a nice girl I have been corresponding with for the past 4 months....

You could say I am "shopping" but more likely "cautiously proceeding" lol

Hello again all, no, this would be for a totally different woman.

Thanks

Hello again everyone,

Well, after a disappointing first experience a year ago (brought a girl from Kharkov here and it didn't work out), I am travelling to Lviv, Ukraine in April to meet 2 new ladies.

It's true that you learn alot the first time around; I sure did.

As least I know what the K1 process has in store for me this time

With this new law IMBRA, you have to wait 2 yrs prior filing 2nd petition.

2 years from what date? And are you sure it applies if you've only had 1 approval?

Thanks

Hello all,

I had a lady come here recently and things did not work out. If I go through the process again, do I need to wait for a certain amount of time? Someone told me 18 months? 2 years? Is that correct? Does that apply to me if I only had 1 approval?

Thanks!

Hello, I am going to purchase a return ticket for my fiancee to arrive back in Ukraine. Is a paper ticket required by law? I spoke to a travel agent who said e-ticket was suffice.

Thanks guys

Hello all,

There is a chance my fiancee may be returning home. I understand that the I-94 card is needed; is that all?

Just fill out ?

Thanks

BigK

ok, she has 2hrs between flights so she should be ok
