I don't know if you'll like this, but I was thinking ... since you are all interested in foreign women, why not try to meet women who are studying or working in the US?
I see definite perks to this. They are educated, there is no separation anxiety as far as the family is concerned, they are independent, they already have a visa, they have some kind of plan, and they are definitely not princesses who'll sit on their butts and max out your CCs. Plus, they speak English, anything from decently to fluently.
Financially, this also makes sense because they are already here, so you don't have to splurge on visiting them. You can verify if what they say is true more easily, and you don't have to spend endless hours and endless dollars filling out their applications. I think a lot of people tend to put an ad on more legitimate places like Lavalife or Match.com once they move somewhere new, so you also wouldn't have to deal with the scamming agencies.
I don't know, this makes a lot of sense to me. You can probably meet them by volunteering at international events at your local university. Of course, that really only applies to younger men, 20-35ish, but then there are recent immigrants of all ages as well. Someone on the Latina board mentioned meeting his wife like that (she was already living in the US), and I thought it was logical that he chose her over someone living abroad.
So, for my unquenched curiosity, why does it have to be women recruited directly from their home countries?
