Bringing Your Fiancé To America
· As a fiancé (before you are married)
· As a wife (after you are married)
Of the two, bringing her to America under a fiancé visa is the fastest and easiest process and is the best method for you to follow. We will discuss this method first.
The number one rule in the application process is that you should not attempt to fool or mislead the INS, now called the CIS under the Department of Homeland Security, or US embassy in any way.
Even though it is now officially the CIS -- Citizenship and Immigration Services under the Department of Homeland Security, everybody but the government stills refers to it as the INS. We will continue to refer to the agency as the INS throughout our discussion below. However, you are now familiar with the fact that it has been renamed.
They are still using all the same numbers for the forms and all the same paperwork, with very few exceptions.
There Are No Shortcuts:
If you are already married, or you are planning to get married in her country before you bring her to America, don’t try to slip this past them. Chances are, it won’t work.
The consequences of getting caught are not worth the chance. Your application will probably be denied, without possibility of re-application. Your fiancé will probably be blacklisted, which means that she will never be able to come to the US. You may be blacklisted by the INS and / or subject to criminal prosecution and fines.
Do not show up at the local US embassy in Russia with your fiancé and try to get a tourist visa or student visa for her. Not only will they not give her a visa, they may mark her passport that will not allow her to apply for a visa for at least a year.
They may also permanently blacklist her from immigrating to America. The reason for this is that she is applying for a temporary tourist or student visa while her intent is to immigrate to America permanently. The INS and US embassy personnel consider this a misrepresentation at best and fraudulent at worst.
These shortcuts are not worth taking because of your ignorance or impatience with the legal process. The possibility of having to wait a few more months for you to get married or for your fiancé to come to America is not worth the consequences of getting caught stepping outside the law.
Follow The Rules:
Learn the rules and follow them. Or you can hire someone to help you with the process.
US embassy personnel are aware that many people come to America on temporary visas and then disappear once they are in America.
If you are going to bring your fiancé to America, you have to apply for a permanent visa, which is either a fiancé visa or a spousal visa.
If you follow the law, there is almost no doubt that your fiancé will be allowed to come to America, provided that you both meet the standards established by the INS and the US embassy. It may take a little longer than you would like, but she will be able to come here and stay here legally, which is the ultimate goal.

The Ebay Blacklist
Certain types of items are prohibited or regulated on eBay. eBay reserves the right to terminate auctions that violate its specifications for allowed items on listing. In the case of such, eBay emails the bidder and the seller to notify them of the violation and to explain the need to terminate the auction.
eBay’s policies describe items that may not be posted for auction. They fall under three categories: Prohibited Questionable, and Potentially Infringing.
Prohibited
This describes items that are not permitted on eBay. This list includes alcohol, tobacco, drugs, animals, human parts or remains, government properties, lottery tickets, and others. eBay contains a complete list of such in their policy statement.
Questionable
Items listed as questionable can be posted provided they follow certain conditions. For example, some adult material may be listed for auctioning only if they are posted in the Mature Audiences section of eBay. Event tickets may be sold provided that the auction closes before the actual event itself. The list also includes batteries, artifacts, food, used items, event tickets, weapons and knives, police related equipment, Freon, hazardous chemicals, offensive material, mature audiences material, international selling, and international buying among others.
Potentially Infringing
Items listed under this heading may be legal. However, they almost always violate copyright, trademark, and other rights. Some examples of such are: academic software, beta software, bootleg recordings, contracts and tickets, downloadable media, movie prints, OEM software, Replica and counterfeit items, and unauthorized copies.
This list is updated periodically and is incorporated into the User Agreement of eBay. These guidelines do not represent legal advice. It would do well to check with law enforcement agencies, a lawyer, or other legal outlets to verify the legality of a questionable item to be posted.
This policy applies even if you offer to give your item away for free. As long as it is posted on eBay, it is subject to the abovementioned policy.
As a final note, it is stressed that the buyer if subject to liability if he or she purchases an illegal item. It is still the responsibility of the buyers and sellers to monitor the legality of their transactions since eBay is merely a facilitator in the market process.
