In reality, many men are scared that shortly after their marriage to their Russian bride, they would be mobbed with administrative chores, and hassles with the Visa. Although there is a certain level of paperwork involved, it is relatively painless compared to what people believe it to be.

Many years later, when you look back on your Russian wedding, you will only recall the exciting wedding day and all the celebrations rather than the hassles you had to deal with later. The hardest part, although, will be the answers you will have to give your concerned family and friends who might insinuate that your Russian bride is only using you to gain citizenship in another country. But you should stay firm on your decision and not get carried away.

There is no question as to why you have married a Russian woman. It could be that you saw her for the first time on vacation or maybe even on a dating website, but either way, you have fallen in love with her and want to marry her. Being in love strongly outweighs any problems you have with the paperwork you have to file after the wedding.

The first thing you should know is what a K-1 is. It is the fiance visa. This visa gives permission to your fianc to remain in the United States for a specific period of time in which you should get married. Normally, the visa is for three months, which is sufficient time to get to know each other and make the decision.

The K-1 is a non-immigrant visa that allows your fianc to live with you. But once you are legally married, you will have to prove that you both live together and function as a family. In order to obtain the K-1 visa, as the future spoyse, you will need to submit an Alien fiance petition from I-129F.

This petition is necessary to bring your betrothed, and her children if any, to the United States for wedding. You have to fill in the forms K-3 for your forthcoming mate, and the K-4 forms are to be filled for her children if any. If you hold these Visas, then you can succeed in getting a permanent citizenship in the United States. Never be afraid that your new spouse and her children cannot adapt to the life in the United States as they can get employment there if they have forms K-3 and K-4 after obtaining the Employment Authorization Document.

Although it sounds complicated, it is extremely simple in reality. All that you need to do is follow the guidelines and fill out all the documents that are required. If you need help, there are many agencies that can guide you and tell you how to go about it. You can also opt for attorneys who specialize in this field and they will take care of your visa process, updating you on the outcome regularly.

Naturally, it will cost you a little bit, but it saves you a lot of time when it comes to dealing with the paperwork. Additionally, most of these agencies and attorneys have websites where you can see your progress with the visas.

You should enjoy your marriage, and let others deal with the formalities.
