Выкладываю сюда письмо моего хорошего друга из Америки. Он достаточно подробно расписал механику процесса. Точнее это можно назвать советами. Я попросила его специально для нашего форума написать,как и что лучше выбрать: брак в России или в его стране?
Обычно, если начинается переписка с женихом, они совсем не знают деталей и сложностей. Поэтому всегда лучше ему рассказать, как это бывает.
Для тех девушек, кто ещё не совсем уверен в уровне своего языка - можете просто копировать это послание своему избраннику. Только предупредите его, что это скопировано с нашего форума, а иначе придётся долго отбиваться от подозрений.
Хочу сказать, что много будет зависет от вашего жениха. Вы должны быть уверены в нём. Обговорите все детали прежде, чем выскакивать замуж. Не стесняйтесь выяснять и интересоваться. Это часть американского (или любого западного) характера обговаривать подробности.
Ну и удачи всем, кто уже вступил или ещё только готовится с головой окунуться в визовый процесс.

Цитата:
If you are planning to marry an American man, it is probably best to have
the wedding within the United States. It is possible to have the marriage
in Russia, but then it will take much longer for you to obtain a visa.
(There is more paperwork and possible complications if the wedding takes
place outside of the USA.)
Your man can open a "Finance Visa" for you. This visa will allow you to
enter the US and stay here for up to 90 days. You must be married within
90 days. If you are not married, then you must leave the country.
I think the fiancй visa would be to your advantage, because it would allow
you to live with your man in the US during this time (90 days). It makes
more sense to plan the wedding near the end of this time (on day 70 or day
80 perhaps). You would not want to enter the US and then get married on
day 10. Why? There might be something you would discover about your man,
his situation, his family (or something). It is possible that you might change
your mind and not want to marry him. You would not be required to marry
him and you could still go back to Russia, before 90 days. He should
guaranty that you will have transportation back to Russia, if you are not
married (for any reason).
If he is going to live in Russia, and your family will be in Russia, then perhaps
it is best for you to marry in Russia.
But a Russian marriage will not automatically give you any right to
get an American visa. Your husbands still needs to apply for a US visa for
you, separately, even if you are married, and even if you have a child.
Being married to an American man (or having a child from an American man)
does not automatically entitle you to obtain a US visa. The visa is a
separate process (a separate process from your marriage). These are two
different things: (1) a foreign marriage, and (2) a visa for a foreign
spouse or child to enter the USA.
This is why I say it is best for you to have your man open the "fiance visa"
for you, and then to have your wedding *legally* in the USA. This method
assumes that the people will be married, and it also assumes the wife will
have the right to live in the USA.
But if you are married in Russia, this wedding might be valid in Russia, but
there will be no visa. The only way to get a visa is if your new husband
does all the paperwork for this visa. This paperwork is more complicated
than the paperwork for the fiancй visa, and it takes much longer to get the
visa this way.
It is possible to have some *ceremony* in Russia, so your family and friends
can celebrate your wedding. But I recommend that the *legal* wedding (the
marriage license, not just a ceremony) should be issued in some American
state, while you are in the US under a fiancй visa. Your legal rights will
be better protected this way, and also, if you have any plans to come to
the USA (now or later) this way will be smoother.
If you come to the US under a fiance visa, for 90 days, you would probably
need to quit your job, unless they will agree to re-hire you, after such a long time.
I would advise that you get a guaranty from your man, that if something goes wrong,
that you are guaranteed transportation back to Moscow, and also enough money
to live, until you can find a new job (maybe 6 months of your living expenses).
Do not get the wrong idea from my warnings to you, but you must think
about yourself and protect yourself, in case something goes badly.
