There's no way I could know what's in store for sure but all I can do is give 110% and hope for the best. Maybe being away from the big city and all it's influences will be an advantage for us. I too have read the failure along with the success stories. The current divorce rate is 50% so it's not like the odds in America are good anyway. We'll do our best.

I wish you luck too! But be very, very, VERY carefull. They like everything till they come here. Once you bring her over that's where the real life begins. Do NOT send any money through Western Union or other money transfer services where you are not insured. To get a visa from Russia to US is very hard especially 1) if she has no relatives here, 2) if she is single in Russia with nothing left behind, 3) if she has never been in USA before. Again once she starts asking you to send her money for documents, more money for something else that's where you have to think twice. I hope she is not a scam artist and is a good woman, which is very hard to find these days in Russia.

Good Luck!

Just for a record, a lot of russian girls DO know how to drive manual, and are quick learners

Good luck Lam!
I also hope she's a not a scam artist and she's genuine in her intentions.
I do feel it would very tough for her especially in the beginning of her life here, separated from her parents and all her friends. Try your best to make her happy.
Just one question, WHAT IS WRONG WITH AMERICAN LADIES?
When I lived in Russia I didn't have any desire to go online and look for American-mail-order-brides

She has spent her own money to get her birth certificate translated along with having to get pictures, police checks and other documents to send to me for me to file her visa application. She has spent over $100 of her own money just to send documents to me through DHL. She has a great job and makes good money so her motivation is not to come here to rip me off. I have met her in person and yes it is always a bad idea to send money to a girl. This will be one of the happy ending stories vs. the scam or leave the husband stories I'm sure.

Smartass!
What's wrong with American ladies??? Refer to the info I originally posted. I know there are good ones here in America but they aren't available like the Russian girls are.

How long have you been with your Russian girl now? You lived in Russia, was that article accurate on Russian women and men???

Wow. I'm sceptical but I sincerely hope you prove me wrong. Best of luck.

As far as women driving a stick, my wife has been complaining ever since we got the 4.4 because we couldn't get it with a manual tranny. Now she want's to dump the X5 and get a 535 xit just to go back to driving a manual.
