Things To Know Before Considering A Colombian Mail Order Bride

By Dora Reed


Throughout most of history arranged marriages have been standard procedure. Parents planned and paid for unions that would prove politically or economically advantageous, both for their daughters and the extended family. That seems heartless to people who believe that love should be the underlying basis for marriage, but there are often excellent reasons to consider the positive potential of a Colombian mail order bride.

Although ordering goods or services on line is common practice today, the idea of finding a mate on the Internet may feel almost illegal. In actual fact, no laws currently forbid people from making personal connections using a website. All on-line dating services are designed to achieve that goal. Internet international marriage brokers operate in a similar fashion, but go a step further.

They provide customers a secure means of making discreet and direct contact with the intent of marriage. Future partners must create an on-line account, peruse photos and biographical information from the candidates, and select those who seem likely to respond. This saves time spent on fruitless searches. Many respondents come from areas where the female to male ratio is not balanced.

Marriage, children, and family life form the foundation of Colombian culture, but a lack of partners in some areas hinders that goal. Many women take this enormous step for economic reasons, while others want to relocate to an area where raising children is less dangerous and provides greater opportunities. It is an act of courage to move to a country where the language, laws, and customs are very different.

Men who imagine that they can look at the photos and choose the best looking woman may be disappointed. The websites presenting these services must conform to a protocol designed to prevent sexual trafficking, slavery, and prostitution. All current immigration laws and policies must be strictly adhered to, and violators may be shut down. A bride is absolutely never delivered upon request.

Most sites require a series of preliminary steps before direct communication is even permitted, and collect a fee only when an arrangement is mutually agreed upon by both parties. Once that is established, the web site is no longer in play. Future partners must then decide how to arrange for travel to the United States, and must thoroughly understand immigration regulations relating to citizenship.

Brides must apply for a 90 day temporary visa, and after the marriage takes place will need to obtain a green card. To prove that the marriage was not a fraudulent attempt to gain citizenship, immigration officials routinely do an investigation after two years have elapsed. They examine both personal and financial records thoroughly. If fraud is detected, the bride officially becomes illegal, and loses the green card.

All marriages have the potential to fail, but the long-term success rates of these arranged unions is surprisingly high. The process is never risk-free, and sensational accounts of associated criminal activity have somewhat tarnished the image of this practice. For those people who are lonely and do not want to live that way the rest of their lives, however, a mail order bride is an attractive option.
