Crashed marriages is something that happens, and is not  something that should be hold against any part. But this is also a two way steet! The biggest concernes with my girl has been about my ex wife. I can understand her worries but I think I could convince her about that it is over.

This is true and a very good point. Although I was never married and my wife was never married. As a matter of fact I dont think my wife had ever held hands before and I'm totally serious about that statement. Anyways, I've heard that the ex can be a problem for the RW/UW especially when there are kids involved. From all indications in which I've heard and read about over the years, the typical RW/UW has a tendency to be more than a little jealous in this regard. If Ambach123 has never been married then I can see where he might want a girl that has never been married. Now if he's been married,well it's a 2 way street and he shouldnt alienate a possible good woman and there will be thousands and thousands that fit that criteria.

Greg, as you know in USA the divorce rate for first marriages is about 50%, for the second marriages it is about 80%.
It is most often the woman who asks for a divorce, you stack the odds agains a long lasting marriage if you marry a divorced woman. If she did not care for her marital vows the first time, why would she care for it a second time?

Besides that, I am trying to keep the number of meetings on my visit to no more than 20; and that would not be possible unless I use some filtering criteria.

For me the choices of women is not the problem, the selection of the right one is.  As for the reason for such vast choices, because I am willing to pay for personalized services. Whether such services would culminate in a successful marriage, that is another matter.

There is just so much wrong about this statement I'm actually speechless.

Anyways, I've heard that the ex can be a problem for the RW/UW especially when there are kids involved.

In Russia, they COULD stop the their child leaving -for up to a year -  but if one is patient, and your relationship is still together, after a year , the ex-husband is going to have a BIG problem - stopping the child moving to another country.. especially, if the woman promises ensure contact by phone / email.. If my ex-wife had decided to emigrate to Australia from the UK their would be very little I could do !

Anyway, older children, can normally express an opinion, and they count, too ..

From all indications in which I've heard and read about over the years, the typical RW/UW has a tendency to be more than a little jealous in this regard.

??! Sorry, Greg .. absolutely NOT my experience...

  another classic "ambach".... Can someone point me in the direction of where he finds his data ?! If I was him, I'd bump up the numbers of ladies he meets as with this attitude they're going to be filtering HIM at a rate of knots

Only the US is insane enough to even have a concept of a "diversity lottery" for green card. This is certainly nothing most Americans even know about, and if voted up or down, would be voted down soundly. We give out 100,000 green cards a year! On what basis? ??? Diversity! WE are doomed.

I don't have a problem with the legal immigration into the US. I do however have a problem that the US doesn't enforce the laws that we do have or secure our borders.


Just my two kopecks,

The green card lottery to me still is a weired thing, too!

Actually, I'm a defender of the Diversity Visa lottery.  I hate the word "diversity" as it's applied lately..it's really a relabeling of affirmative action just as liberals now prefer the label "progressive"

Why do I like the DV lottery?  Because it is designed to balance immigration.  Without it, we would not have offsets against the flood immigrants from China, India, Phillipines and Latin America.  A country becomes ineligible when it has sent more than 50,000 people over the previous 5 years.

I detest the importation of foreign labor for the purposes of making America more "competitive".  What does that mean?  It means, we need to keep down the cost of labor in America which will keep businesses home and attract foreign investment.  Poppycock!

American lifestyles and future hopes are not based on her being a place where cheap labor can be found.  Cheap labor aka low wages will destroy America and the American lifestyle which is fueled by higher wages than can be found elsewhere.

People who come to America on work visas, generally don't expect to stay.  Therefore, they set up enclaves and refuse to adapt to American culture.  On the other hand, I'm all for people coming to America for the purpose of becoming Americans and I prefer they don't look back.  The diversity visa does just that and since it avoids bringing large numbers from any single country, they more readily adapt and assimilate.

In 1965, the direction of American history was changed forever. Little known to most, in 1965 radical surgery was performed on our nation. Until that time, legal immigration was held almost exclusively to people from Europe. Historically this was a conscious decision that we, the US, are people of European ancestry - that was our identity. However, after the civil rights act of 1964, there were groups of liberal lobbyists outraged that we had a "racist" immigration policy. Which we certainly did have - for very good reasons. However, at the direction of Ted Kennedy, almost 200 years of immigration policy was thrown out the door, and the door to substantial 3rd world immigration was opened. There was very little public knowledge or debate on this measure to so alter the future landscape of this nation. America today is becoming unrecognizable in many ways to what it was just 40 years ago. In 1965, American was 88% people of European ancestry. Today it is down to 62% and falling. There has never been such a radical transformation of demographics in history except in times of major famines, invasions and wars.

What is wrong with interracial country?   If those races can live together in peace then they enrich each other, I believe.

I wish they'd put a top to this insane practice and think of a better way to handle other forms of immigration instead.. Great, talented people have to wait for years for their applications to go through while thousands of no good deadbeats, who have no business going to America, win their "free ride" in a lottery every year.. How ridiculous is that, and what a travesty!.

You have a great misunderstanding of the means by which the "deadbeats" enter this country.  Hint: it ain't through the diversity visa lottery.   Half of them come without visas of any kind.  The others come in on student visas with no intention of studying, work visas with no intention of working, tourists with no intention of touring, and as relatives of immigrants (chain immigration).

That's a mighty big "if" ooopsie...mighty big. 

In my recently "diversified" neighborhood, I have had to call the cops at 3AM at least 4 times in the past 4 weeks. 
 
In college, years ago, my biochem lab partner was Asian and a bright black fellow and I did our stat homework together. Nobody told us we needed to do that.   If only we could all have that kind of appreciation for each other with so called leaders telling us we have to.

I am already hearing threats from Latino leaders, that when they have the political power in America (and they will) whites will learn what it means to be discriminated against.   Ain't diversity just grand?

Ronnichka, like you've never seen purely white trailer parks with exact same problems?   

[Ronnie]

Where I live there are a lot of "mobile home" parks occupied exclusively by people 55+.  If you dragged a hundred dollar bill through one of those parks, you'd have people calling the cops about the clatter outside.   

I keep telling my wife we need to move into one of those for the peace and quiet, but predictably, she's appalled at the idea.   :hairraising:

You know that's not what I was talking about.     Crime has nothing to do with color of the skin, if you ask me.   It's not like some races are born bad or something.

No, I do not.. All I'm saying is that the perversity visa lottery is a great way for the people I described in my post to enter the US.. there are other ways, of course, but the PV is IMO the easiest of them all, and that's precisely the reason it attracts the kind of people you do not want in the country in the first place..

What Occupations will Qualify for the Diversity Visa Program (eDV)?

The Department of Labor (DOL) O*Net Online database groups job experience into five "job zones."     While many occupations are listed on the DOL Website, only certain specified occupations qualify for the Diversity Visa Program. To qualify for a Diversity Visa on the basis of your work experience, you must, within the past five years, have two years of experience in an occupation that is designated as Job Zone 4 or 5, classified in a Specific Vocational Preparation (SVP) range of 7.0 or higher.

Nah, the lottery is for losers.. I haven't played any kind of lottery since I was a teenager..

[Ronnie]

Possum, Possum..straighten out that tail.  Do you know someone who won the lottery and is now freeloading?  I know several winners who are ideal citizens, all from Eastern Europe.. so I'm not feelin' your pain in this issue.  The odds against winning are great and then, after you get picked you have to pass interviews.  I think it's one of the better programs for reasons I stated earlier.  On the other hand I do know free-loading asylum grantees and parents of immigrants and illegal aliens who support their children with AFDC (aid to families with dependent children) and foodstamps not to mention getting a taxpayer supported free education with lunch thrown in.

And who pays for the the police salaries that have to deal with these guys http://www.lapdonline.org/most_wanted_recent_additions and the court interpreters and public defenders when they do happen to catch them?

Yes, I do know a family like that and they are from Eastern Europe.. there are many more, I'm sure, although probably not as many as there are illegal alien families doing the same.. But this isn't a debate about illegal immigration vs. DV lottery, rather it's DV vs. other forms of legal immigration..

Did you see the URL I've posted?    DV lottery invites specific professions into the country, versus "family reunion" brings anybody and everybody.   See the difference?
