Time Frames: How could she do this?

[Me 2 3]

Is it possible for a girl from Russia to meet with a man, for what i believe to be the first time, in St. Pete the first 2 weeks of Dec. 05 and then be in the US by Jan. 4th? She was in her city, Izhevsk, on Dec. 24th because i spoke with her on the phone. I am told on Jan. 4th she is in US. But i am also told that her last day at work was Jan. 10th. It is a long confusing story, that i would rather not go into at the moment. But i would appreciate any info. on the required "time frames" for her to be able to come to the US. What circumstances would allow her to do this in a 4 to 5 week time frame? I will say that i have known this girl for a year, she told me she was moving to St. Pete on Dec. 25th, nothing about US. I have not heard from her in 3 months and have no contact info., but she has all of mine.

I don't understand all this tech. talk about visas, so try to lay it out for me in simple terms, please. Would getting married while in St. Pete the first of Dec. give her quick access to the US? How about a visitor visa?

From what i have learned about the coming to America from Russia, it takes longer than 4 to 5 weeks.

Thanks, bp

PS: There's alot of conflicting and confusing information about this.

Don't assume anything, please.

If it was that fast then she had a visa already.....

Could get a visitors visa in that time, but unlikely.

Maybe she had a turist visa and then takes only one day to fly over, no?

Thanks for the input. If you could give a little more it would be helpful.

If she already had this Visa, as suggested, then how long could she have had this?

We have very good relations after one year, why does she not tell me of this?

When we have last phone conversation on Dec. 24th she was very emotional during

conversation and when we say goodbye. I thought it would be 2 weeks max until i

hear from her, apparently she knew something i did not know. She had no internet service

at the relatives home she was moving to in St. Pete., but said she would contact me as soon

as she got it.

Also, she has a 20 year old son. She told me he was moving with her to St. Pete. Did he really come to

US with her? Would that only make it more difficult for her to leave Russia so quickly? More paperwork!

Maybe these questions are difficult to understand, but if you have some suggestions or questions, i will

try to eliminate the confusion, etc.

Thanks, bp

How do you know she´s in the US if she hasn´t contacted you?

[john_and_marlene 162]

I hope you haven't been giving her money. Sounds like someone's being played to me.

[Ladylethal 12]

Yeah, the whole things seems unreal ...

We can´t help you much more on how come she was able to do that, she could have had a visa for ages, or for a while, or for little time, having one, she could fly any day, any time, so, I dunno what other info we can give you.

I agree this person had to have had visa already or was just approved for one recently.

Or she was keeping it a secret from you! I flew down to meet a woman 2 years ago (we had emailed for a couple months) and we hung around for 2 weeks and I knew it wasn't going anywhere and told her so also. To my great surprise she sent me an email and called me from Miami the same week I got back! So! She had the visa and maybe the tickets too all the time but didn't tell me - maybe she was taking her pick of the 'litter'! And didn't want me!

[rebeccajo 14]

Sounds to me like she was shopping.

Just be glad you weren't the bargain of the day.

AW this is sad for you if you had good intentions towards her, shame she didnt for you!!! but you should put it behind you & hopfully you have learned some thing??..............

Sounds to me she knew exactly what she was doing all along and you got the bad end of the deal. Sorry this happened to you.
