Our correspondence over email was only a couple of weeks. We spoke on Skype almost daily for the next 7 weeks when I flew to Kiev, Ukraine for the first visit. Her English was very good and it got better on Skype. I have just returned from the 1 week I have spent in Kiev with her where we got engaged. I had read everything available on the site and it was much easier than I expected. I have even met her parents who speak no English, interesting to say the least. I am now starting the process of getting her a visa. I found that your site was lots of help and writing the biography made a huge difference. I found that you tell the truth and do not hold anything back from her and everything will fast to progress. For every bit of love you show these women, you get literally double back! Lay everything out on the table for her to see and she will be quick to accept you. Svetlana even had bad experiences with men on other sites, which did not make it any easier to say the least. Don't push or be harsh, just let them come to you and answer all their questions fairly quickly. If it is meant to be it will work out fairly quickly. It has been just under 6 months, start to now for me and I am engaged to a beautiful and wonderful woman already. Thank you Elena's Models! Paul (Australia) and Svetlana (Ukraine)
