On the visa process. Yet, it is important for us all to realize that is what is said on paper. The agents involved in your particular case are not going to be vetting your man to see if he is a good match for you. Obviously, they want to make sure he's not going to start a revolution or blow up something or rape little kids. That is their primary concern.

The men discussed on this site are not from the humble Bedouin camel tribes or from the shantytowns of Cairo, Ankara and Casablanca. They are well-to-do for the standards in their home countries. If they were not, they would not have internet access and would not be fluent in English.

Being educated or knowing another language (English) does not mean that your man is for real, as the examples on this site clearly show. Ironically, the poor and the humble would probably make better spouses that those who are well-to-do.
