I dont think i would ever do it again but i cant say never because i dont know the future but at this point thats what i feel

the visa process complicated my life and my health would be like asking me to put my hand in a fire and leave it there

"... if I was looking for a specific breed I would get a dog."

:rofl: :rofl:

Excellent answer!

I didn't start out looking for a foreigner, but through some nudging from a good friend it happened.

Would I do it again... if ? Bite your tongue!!!

"Foreign" is relative :o . Every time I go the country I was born, I am told I am 'foreigner' no less than 10 times. Having lived in several countries for long periods of time, I sort of don't feel foreigner anywhere. At same time, in the past 30-35 years, all relationships I had were with women of different nationality than my own.

To me is not the 'foreign'; it is the 'click', regardless of nationality/origin what matters.

LOL...its funny, I would never marry again. I always tell my husband that if something were to happen to him, I'll run and hide in a convent for the rest of my life. BUT, as for the immigration process...well, I'm on my second visa application to move BACK to the UK...and hubby would like to eventually come back here to the States and he left before getting his citizenship due to sick parents, so we'll be doing the whole US VISA process again at some point in the future.

Oh my! What a question. The mere thought of things not working out in the long-run is horrible, but if that were ever a reality? I guess, "I would do anything for love, but I won't do that, no, no, I won't do that" Ha, ha. Errr, I guess, I would not rule it out. Love is love - transatlantic, down the street, in the next city - it's all the same. :yes:

I don't anticipate getting divorced in the first place!

But if God forbid that I would become a widow.. then the answer is NO, I don't want to go through all of this process again.

And even though it's difficult to go through the process now, I know that it will be worth it in the end.

Once he is here and we get married then I would think that after all we went through being patient with the process then our marriage will be it and there will be no reason for a Second time around! :thumbs:

My husband and I have been together for 12 years now, and this is my second marriage. I do not foresee another divorce in my future, and even if something that horrible happened, I do not think I would ever remarry a third time or go through the immigration process again. I just so happened to meet and fall in love with someone from another country. I never sought out a non-USC on purpose nor would I in the future. We undertook this process out of necessity. I wouldn't voluntarily seek out the need to have someone immigrate to my country for a marriage. Maybe someday we will move back to his country (he still has a house there), and the tables will be turned and I will have to go through whatever it takes to immigrate there. Who knows?

'This process'... as in bringing a foreign fiance(e) to America?

Well, I found the love of my life in Korea. She is American, I am Irish. Neither of us ever went there to 'find a foreigner'. So, to answer, I would do it if I happened to meet someone of a different nationality to me, yes. But, I wouldn't go out of my way to 'find' someone to love who was foreign.

:thumbs: Soo true B-)
