A time will come when both you and your Russian bride decide that it?s right for you to meet. Every couple is different, so there?s no way of predicting when you?ll both feel comfortable with taking this step. Of course, you can invite your bride to visit you, but the reality is that you are in a much better position to travel. It?s often difficult for a Russian lady to obtain a visa, especially to the United States , and paying a ?friend at the embassy? to help her out simply doesn?t work. Besides, traveling to Russia is a wonderful experience and you should make the most of the opportunity before you familiarize yourself with your bride?s culture. Remember there?s a purpose to your visit.
