I brought a girl from EE on a fiancee visa to the USA.
She was indecisive and ended up going back soon after arriving. Didn't rip me off or anything but I wasted a LOT of time ( couple years) waiting for the visa.
Red flags I missed:
1) Her not responding promptly to emails while I was waiting.
THis is true for all collaborators of ANY kind-- business, etc. Anyone who's into your plans gets back to you quickly.
IKE:
I have my own war story as well, which somewhat informs my judgment concerning changes in perspective that develop with a girl that is in the US of A for a while.
When I was in Korea, I dated a girl who was about 5 years younger than me, and who would have never given me a second look in the US of A – she was maybe an 8.5. She was from a well-off family and had her own car and pretty much paid for everything when we went on our dates, including short-term hotel rooms. She also spent quite bit of the time in our relationship pursuing me, and she made it really easy to date with her and to get many perks because she liked to pay for most things. She would even set up excuses to pay me and to say that I was her private English tutor, whenever any Korean would ask her about her relation with me.
When I left Korea, she kept telling me that she was going to relocate in a location near me on a student visa, and for about 6 months we were in continuous e-mail contact regarding those plans that supposedly she was making. We even met in Hawaii when parts of her plan seemed to be falling apart and being delayed. I told her that I could not really afford a trip to Hawaii, so she said that she would pay for various expenses related to my portion of the trip in order to make the situation more affordable for me.
In the next year or so, there were several falling outs with her plans to relocate to the US on a student visa, and I began to figure that she was not really following through with her plans to come to the US, even though she did make a couple of trips to the US to visit me.
Nonetheless, I began to date a Chinese girl in the US that was in the league of the girls that paid attention to me in the states – about a 7.
The Chinese 7 and I decided to move in together, and then all of a sudden, the Korean girl was living in a city about 60 miles from me to attend graduate school. The Korean girl and I had not been maintaining contact, and Viola, she was there.. everything had been approved for her student visa and her plans with the school and her parent paying, and when she first called, me she said that she was with her parents looking at apartments and getting a car etc etc, and she would be able to meet with me in a couple of weeks, once they were out of the picture and all of her details were in order.
Thereafter, for a while I was juggling both of these relations, and for about six months or so while the Korean girl was living in the US, she continued to pursue a relationship with me, even though I told her that I was living with the Chinese girl. It seemed quite weird, because the Korean was truly in a higher category of girls than what would be in my ability to catch in the US, but she continued to make the efforts to make it easy to meet up with me for bangs, etc… Also, at the same time that she was pursuing a relation with me, she was getting a lot of offers from other guys. Six months into this juggling with me, she gave up on continuing the relation with me, and my belief is that she was getting a lot of real decent offers from guys, and she no longer wanted to make thing convenient for meeting up with me.
Surely, I had made some of this difficult to have a LTR with the Korean girl because of my own situation with the Chinese girl; however, it remains my belief that even if I had been living under the same roof with this Korean girl, I would have had a difficult time hanging onto the relationship because once she was in the USA, she was constantly receiving and onslaught of offers, and she would tell me about some of the offers that she was receiving. I was not surprised.
I believe that if you find a girl that is above your league from another country and bring her back to the USA, you will be fighting off the guys to maintain her, and she may play along with you for quite a while.. but those ongoing offers are going to affect her, sooner or later, and if she is 30 years younger, you are going to encounter more and more difficulties in preventing her from having encounters with guys in the US who are going to be more than willing to make her offers.
