He won't ask for money right at if he is any good at his game. But when the visiting comes, and he will ask you to come, you most likely will foot the bill for the tickets. That is where it starts, you will make excuses that he is from a poor country, and it is the least I can do is buy my own tickets.

Here is where you stop and think, if they have a sister, would they allow their sister to work, earn her money to see a man the family has never met, and spend her own money. HELL NO, so than I ask you why is ok for you to do this, because you mean nothing to them. If he buys the tickets, than go and have a blast, but never take anything they say seriously.

If they want the visa, than they will have to do it themselves, money lawyers, paper work, while you sit on your ass. Have several of them on the hook, see how puts out money and if they don't offer you plane tickets, you have problems and can't come. See how fast their jets cool, if they have to put out money. Keep talking to him, if you really want to see if he is for real, get one of us to go in and talk to him, see if he hits on one of us. Sometimes we don't want to know the truth.
