Russian Bride and K-1 visa
By: Olga Bulyga
How to date a Russian woman if you live few thousands miles away? You will hardly find anyone today who did not hear about Russians dating sites or international matchmakers, there are millions of them in the internet. Let us suppose that after continual search you have found the lady of your dream, you came to visit her few times and everything tells you that you and your Eastern European woman, you both are made for each other.
The inner feeling tells you that you need to get married ASAP, but your mind tells that you need to get to know this person a little bit longer. So what is the solution?K-1 visa for USA citizens is made exactly for this reason. It allows your foreign bride to stay in you country for up to 3 months and within this time you both must make a decision about either you match and to get married or to separate and to go back home for her. Note that Russian fiancée can't marry anyone else except the one who was making all the papers for the visa. It excludes an opportunity of fake marriage from her side.
Russian bride Oksana met Bill through Internet, they corresponded for 3 months, he came to visit her 2 times. They fell in love and could not wait to be together. Oksana's parents were a little cautious about sudden changes in her life and about her perspective to leave with Bill so far. The fact that K-1 visa gives complete protection from the side of USA government, calmed down her close relatives. It took an international couple 7 month to come to Bill's place. They got married and it is now 3 years as they live together.
Thanks to such a K-1 visa Oksana and Bill had a chance to get to know each other, to live together as a family before singing marriage certificate which is tying them for lifetime hopefully. They sent primary gratitude to their marriage agency which helped them to find each other.

Russian wedding traditions and customs: Engagement and preparations for the wedding
Russian wedding protocol is quite different from what you are used to. For example, there are no bridesmaids, a best man and flower girls.
I will describe here an average wedding, the type all my friends and family had. Nowadays the new rich probably have something more Western-like, but the ordinary people's weddings still fit into this description.
First of all, let's start with engagement. Frankly speaking, there is no such a thing. A man asks a woman if she marry him, that's it. No rings are given; no one is informed about the event excepting closest friends and family. If the man is gallant, he will give his lady flowers, but this is not mandatory.
The wedding is usually planned soon, within 1-3 months. The time depends on the department of registrations (ZAGS - department of registration of civil statuses, that is also responsible for registrations of births and deaths, divorces etc). The couple is supposed to apply in writing to the department of registrations asking to register their marriage. The department will give them available dates (when the registrar is available), but according to the law there must be at least 1 month of "waiting period". During Soviet time this period was 3 months, so the two had time to cool down. People in Russia marry early, mostly at the age of 18-22, and often one of the partners collects the application form from ZAGS after an argument or something like this, to just hurt the other - reapplication is possible, but they have to pay a fee again, and would be given another waiting term. Still quite a few couples do not appear in ZAGS on the day of registration without a prior notice.
After the couple has applied to the department of registration, they are considered as being a bride and a groom; but Russians do not talk about being engaged, they say "They handed in the application". The planning of the wedding is very simple (I was amazed how much more complicated it is here!), and includes rings, brides' dress, cars, and reception. Such things as stationery, flowers, music, brides maids' dresses, and many others do not feature.
Russians call "engagement rings" the rings that the couple exchanges during the wedding ceremony. The two buy them together; the groom pays; this is the necessary part of the wedding tradition. Russian engagement rings are in reality just plain wedding bands of gold, without diamonds or stones, and they wear them on the RIGHT hand on the finger next to the "pinky". (An "engagement ring" on the LEFT hand on the same finger will mean for Russians that the person is divorced or widowed, i.e. is not currently married but was married before.)
I am often asked about how Russian sizes of rings correspond to western ones. It's easy. Russian sizes of rings are given in MILLIMETERS OF DIAMETER. So if woman's size is 17, it means the ring should be 17 millimeters in diameter. (1 millimeter = 0,1 centimeter)
The bride's dress is usually made specially for the occasion because it's cheaper than buying it. All Russian women can sew (sewing is compulsory in the course of 'domestic labor' subject for girls in Russian schools - boys learn to make furniture and fix taps etc). Many girls sew beautifully; so brides often opt for making their wedding dresses themselves. The others buy dresses, and sell them afterwards. There is no custom of giving a wedding dress to a daughter, and if somebody marries in her mother's dress Russians will think it's weird or that you don't have money to buy a new one. Hiring a dress is not typical. Most still opt for the traditional white dress, while a few others go for a white or pale colored suit. Price for making the dress may be anything from $50 (including fabric) but rarely is more than $200, and if the woman makes the dress herself it may cost her less than $10 (depending on the fabric). Accessories may be hired.
The necessary part of the wedding ceremony is a wedding train of several cars. Big black cars are considered as luxury in Russia (they used to be available for Soviet government elite only), and usually if the couple has money, they will hire at least one for the bride. The more cars participating in the wedding train, the more proud the couple will be. Usually they ask all their friends and relatives who have cars to join the ceremony. The cars are used to collect the bride, and go to ZAGS for registration ceremony.
In the old days (before Perestroyka) the bride's family was supposed to pay for the reception, nowadays brides' and groom's families usually share expenses. The reception takes place at a restaurant/cafe or at groom/bride's home, the last option is more popular as it's more affordable.
The biggest concern at the wedding is to have enough liquor. A Russian Wedding is an event where everybody must be drunk. No one will be surprised if people drink themselves to unconscious on the wedding - and many do. Having plenty of food is typical for any Russian function, and a wedding is not an exception. If you have enough liquor and food, the wedding is basically ready.
This is all about preparations for the wedding - it's not very complicated, is it? Next chapters will be about the wedding itself - and this is very interesting and special!(http://www.womenrussia.com)

The TRUTH About Russian Brides, Breaking Misconceptions
There are a lot of misconceptions about Russian women that need to be cleared:
The one vital question that looms large in the minds of men is that why should Russian women look for husbands abroad? Is it that they want to migrate to the West at any cost by using marriage as a stepping stone?
The answer to both the questions is a big NO. A few issues plaguing the Russian society pushes them to choose Western life partners. There are many reasons for this. Taking a look at Russian men objectively, the statistics reveal that Russian men cannot make good husbands because of their alcohol abuse and poor health conditions. The society and life conditions in Russia push the men towards alcohol addiction.
The second reason is because the number of women in Russia outnumber the men by almost 7%. So, a lot of Russian women are lonely and hardly have a chance to find a life partner in Russia.
Since the major misconceptions about Russian brides have been tackeld, let us move on to see what the basic qualities of Russian brides are.
Russian brides are good-looking, feminine and chic. They rarely get overweight with time. They dress up very carefully and are updated with the latest fashion. Russian women are very modest in their financial and lifestyle expectations for a husband compare to western women. Most Russian singles would much rather have a loving husband and friend than well sponsored life with a stranger.
They are well-educated, intelligent. They have better education and life experience. This is because the Soviet educational system offers quite a few scholarships and encourages women to have advanced degrees. Though the accent in English is different, they can pick up the right accent very easily.
Though they are career-minded they do not compromise on family values. This is because of unique Russian culture that has very strong, old-fashioned values about family and its importance to the woman. Also, because most of Russian live in small apartments with 2-3 generations living together. Thus the family is close knit.
Finally, what a man can expect from a western bride is that she will make a good wife because she is flexible and adaptable to any life style. Many men who have been married to Russian women, report how easy it was for their new wives to overcome a cultural change. Although, men themselves had to make compromises in order to help the transition.

Marriage And Russian Women
Dating can be very interesting, as well as it can sometimes get quite frustrating. You can never know what the feelings of your date really are. Is she just doing it for fun, or is she interested in spending the rest of her life with you? This is a question that no one can answer, therefore you must keep on dating a person until she decides to show her real feelings.
Should you be dating a Russian woman, that is virtually dating, of course, you can be sure that she is looking for a partner for marriage! They are the perfect choice if you are looking for a romance that will clear the clouds from the sky in your life!
The main reason for it is the fact that Russian women are somewhat different from western women in many matters. First of all, they do not want to be men or compete with men. They would rather live with men, care about their men and let men take care of them.
They do not try to ensure that no man will ever consider them as sexual objects. The truth of the matter is that they like looking sexy and are not backing up when a man tries to approach them. Interested yet? Well, feminism still has not hit Eastern Europe, therefore Russian women still enjoy being feminine and enjoy men that are masculine.Many people state that an international marriage is a lifetime of discoveries and excitement. This is an experience that will never get boring!
There will always be new things to discover in a Russian woman. You must accept the fact that there are and will be some cultural differences. The best option you�ve got is learning about each other's culture and not seeing it all in a negative light!The language will not be a problem with Russian women, as they are quick learners. The truth is that if two people really want to communicate, they will! And this even without being able to speak the same language!
Having ruled out the language problem, all you have left to do is decide whether you are right for each other. Before making any step further, you must be absolutely sure that you will be happy with the Russian woman you have chosen to be your wife. They are beautiful indeed, but is this enough to make a good decision?
