What are Ukrainian ladies like?
Ukrainian ladies are traditional, very feminine, affectionate, beautiful eyes, family oriented. They come from different walks of life - secretaries, students, doctors, teachers... But they share the same values and have similar attitudes towards men. They have an inner peace about them that makes you feel relaxed in their presence. They are pleasers, not competitors. They expect their man to be the head of the family. They are warm, sensitive, loving and devoted. They are sweet and soft spoken. They look for what’s positive in a man and not what’s negative. They do not care much about your looks or possessions. Your personal qualities of sensitivity, trust and understanding make you special in their eyes. They are not “just trying to get to the USA". They are trying to find a responsible life-mate - very difficult in Eastern European society. They realize that if they marry a North American man they will have to relocate, but they would be just as happy if you lived in their country. They know that they can’t find nicer guys than those living in North America. They know that you make better husbands than Ukrainian men. Even if you are not rich, you are still very secure to these ladies. And that’s what they are looking for - more security, more stability with a man they can fall in love and devote themselves to.

What language do they speak?
Most of the ladies on our website were selected so that they speak and write some English. Many people speak English in Eastern Europe now. Most people had 6 years of English in schools and 2-5 years of English in colleges. Many are secretaries for whom knowledge of English is required. They listen to American music or TV. But even if the lady does not speak English - she can learn quickly. One old rule is “It’s a lot easier for an Eastern European lady to learn English than it is for an American woman to learn to be a good wife”. They learn English quickly and can communicate on the phone with in a month.  The majority do speak (at least some) English. Also, when a woman states that she speaks “a little English” or something similar, this normally means that she can read or write a letter and hold a basic conversation, but has a lot of difficulty with proper grammar.

Is this real? Does it really work?
Yes, it is real, and it does really work well. After three years, we get announcements every month of engagements or marriages from some very happy clients. There are literally thousands of men who do this through 100 + such agencies such as Marianna’s Marriage Agency. It just happens that at Marianna’s Marriage Agency you have found the very best agency in the world for meeting high quality women. We would be happy to provide you with a reference list of clients who have had great success with all our services ranging from personal ads to Marriage trips.

Why are some of the photos poor quality?
Don’t be fooled by a bad photo. We have no control over the photos submitted to us. Some of the most beautiful women on our website don’t have the best photographs. Please remember that to take a photo and develop it take up a day’s pay in many areas. We often get applications with notes stating something similar to “Please use photo I have attached. Tell your clients if they are really interested I will send better pictures.” Look for more than just the best photos. There’s gold in them there hills.

Once I meet someone, how do I get here?
The process in a nutshell is this: First you must go meet her in person. This is a requirement of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). You must then return to the USA and file a visa application with the INS for her to gain entry into the USA. The type of visa most often used is a fiancée visa. Once she enters United States this visa is good for 90 days which is designed for you to determine whether or not you actually want to get married to the women. If you get married to her, she becomes a conditional permanent resident for two years, you must furnish evidence to the INS that the marriage is successful and valid. At that time she can become a full permanent resident.

Should I write to a lot of women?
Our competition says that it is a good idea to write to 15 to 20 women. This is not true. You might think that you can accurately pick out 3-4 women from the photos on our website. However there is so much more to a woman than a small photo. From experience, I can tell you that if you prioritize your top 20 choices and write to all of them (and receive replies from all), every one of your priorities will change. #1 may become #20 and vice versa.

How many men are writing to these women?
We get a lot of questions, but those most often asked is "Will I be one of hundreds writing to one woman?” The answer to this is a simple NO. There are about 8000 men in our client database, as opposed to as much as 50,000 or even 100,000 men in other services. So, in some cases, you may be the ONLY one writing to a particular woman. We also do not advertise in newspapers for our women or accept packages from foreign marriage agencies, as we find that these applicants often show up in many different magazines.

Why should I use you, instead of a cheaper service?
Marianna’s Marriage Agency goes to great length to ensure that we introduce you to the very best quality women in the world. We employ our own staff in the country that we represent. These are the people that get the women to appear on our website. Other companies simply run ads in newspapers for women. The women who appear on out website, however are required to meet with our managers, complete an application, have a photo review, and sign a sworn statement as to the validity of their biographical information and their intentions. This process costs us a lot of money, but it is worth it. We usually know her family!

How do I know the marriage will last?
The divorce rate in the U.S. for “domestic” marriages is now over 60% and even higher for second marriages. This means that you have a better chance of opening a successful new restaurant in Manhattan than you do in choosing a permanent domestic partner for marriage. On the other hand, the divorce rate for international marriages is negligible. As to why, read the bios of these women. These women are more interested in the “inner man”, not what’s in your wallet or garage. You simply will not find this kind of talk in singles bars.

How important is the first letter?
Your first letter is your most important. As Will Rogers used to say, “you don't get a second chance for a good first impression”. First and foremost, always send a clear photograph of yourself in each letter. Secondly, give her something to work with. Make your first letter 3 pages or longer if you can. Finally, DON’T send a letter with the girl’s name penciled in. They will think about as much of that as you would. It is also recommended that you do not offer to send her cash.

You mean I can't  just "buy" a wife?
These pages are filled with beautiful women who want to meet and marry a man from the western cultures. They are not, however “birds for sale” or “up for grabs”. They are not desperate refugees but educated woman from middle and upper class environments who are interested in meeting you with a view to a happy and permanent marriage.
