I met a Russian girl on the internet and we would like to meet each
other. I live in the USA.  She has a passport but no visa.  What do I
need to do so that she can come here in the shortest period of
time?(specifically what forms to fill out?)  once she is here, if we
want to get married how would I go about doing that?  (marraige forms
so she can gain residence)

Ok are you talking about marraing this girl so that she can come to
this country. I don't want to turn you away from this if you both are
in love. But you do realize that so many marry just to get into the
country. I mean if you both met on the internet and have never
actually met up and she is talking about marrage already. I would be
worried. It would be easier if you actually moved there and got
married as it would be easier for her to gain entrance into our
country. If you isist you want her to come to you then you can start
here.

Hey Dan,

Be very very extremely and meticulously careful. Ruski girls want out
of Russia. Consider how you first met. Do you assume that she is the
same girl in any photos you have? Is she a voice on the phone that you
assume is the same girl in the photo? Have you ever received random
e-mails from Russia or websites? Have you responded to them? Once
she's on your soil, she's in .. and perhaps with a friend.

Tell her you are going to visit her. Gauge her reaction to that.

Protect yourself from a broken bank balance and responsibilities
first. Then you can at least afford the recovery of a heart-attack, if
realised.

A friend conversed in a similar way. He loved the idea, the photos,
the mystery and all the other crap. Luckily he woke up when she
tripped up on one topic.

I know you will scorn my words. If she is honest, then find out for
yourself .. on her soil, not yours at a huge cost to you.

I wish you well, if she is true.

p.s. What's wrong with Yankee chicks anyhow??  :)
