Frequently Asked Questions
 
Is Age A Barrier To Find A Partner?

Age is not a barrier within reason. Colombian women want to have their own families. They are raised to be mothers and if this goal is not obtained, they do not feel complete. They are looking for a husband, not a second father, so gentlemen in there sixties looking for ladies in their twenties will have a difficult time. However, there are women in their thirties and forties that would be happy with an older man. A difference of 15 to 20 years is reasonable. In any case, there are no hard rules when it comes to love. It's all up to you.


Will Language Be a Problem?

Normally, English is studied as a second language in all the schools of Colombia, so all the ladies have different level of language skills. It is helpful to find a lady that speaks at least some English. However, there are ladies with very limited English skills that get married  with no problem. Of course if you speak a little Spanish it will be to youradvantage. In my case, I have tried to learn some of the basics of the Spanish language.


How Easy Is It to Bring My Special Lady Back to My Country?

The first thing you need to do is visit your special lady in her country. Take photos of you together so you can prove that you have met. When you return home, if you feel you want to take the big step, you can file a petition for a Fiance Visa with the Immigration and Naturalization Service. In my case, it took only about six weeks to receive the approval. At this time, the INS sends the documents to the US Embassy in Bogota, and they contact your lady for an appointment to receive her visa. She will need to carry document to prove you have met, financial information to prove you can afford to support her, and other legal documents. She will also need to have a physical examination. One or two days after the interview and the lab results are in, the embassy will issue a fiance visa to your lady, which is good for six months. After she arrives in this country, you are required to be married in ninety days. The entire process can be completed in less than six months, if you are diligent about filing the proper forms with requested backup.
You can also be married in her country, but the procedures are different. I suggest you visit the Colombian Embassy to the US web site. Also, the US Embassy in Bogota will give you good information about the procedures for receiving the fiance visa.


Are the Women Sincere About Finding a Husband Or They Just Interested In Obtaining The Visa To Leave Their Country?

I have found that Colombian women are sincere about finding a goog husband. As you have read on this site, there is a short supply of good men who want to be faithful husbands in Colombia. Colombian women consider North American, European, and Australian men to be more respectful, rsponsible, and home minded, This is what they are looking for, not just an entry into another country. Most of these women already have jobs and many are college educated.
Colombian women belong to families that are very close knitted and of high moral standards. They are not anxious to make a wrong decision, leaving behind their families and friends.. When they find the right man, they make a hard decision to go abroad in pursuit of love and happyness.


I'm Plain Looking, Will This Gorgeous Woman Be Atttracted Too Me?

Being handsome is good, but the most important qualities that matter for the Colombian woman are personality, stability, your manhood, and feeling secure being with you. And most importantly, the want a man who will be faithful. They want a man that is romantic and tender. They are not expecting a Hollywood actor, but they are not looking for a Frankenstein either.
