For you guys wanting to bring a chica to the USA,
READ AND REREAD all of the above. Leave well enough alone. Use the money you will be wasting to make 3-4 extra trips here to see her(if you must see just one). Getting a visa to the USA for a single chica with no very strong family ties, a home, a good job, money in the bank, and or a lot of political and fianicial influence, AIN'T GOING TO HAPPEN!
I know one Tica, 40 yo with a daughter here, a very good job and a house. She works as an adminstratora with the CR council on womens rights. She wanted to go to NY shopping and then to DC for an international confrence on womens rights. SHE WAS TURNED DOWN! Why you ask??? Seems that somehow they found out she had dated a Gringo. Duh
As for fiance or spousa visa, be prepared to spend a lot of time, money and effort. I am under the impression that the embassay her is pretty much OK, but believe it or not All US embassy personal are not honest, jejeje. When I was trying to get my ex wife to the states, it took 11 months(we were married), several thousands of $$$ $100 aplication fees became $300 to get them done in less than 6 months???? And a squicky clean past on my part to say nothing of how clean her past had to be. Hundreds of forms, everyone of which have to be in english and in spanish and noterized by the state department of the state where issued and within 30 days of use. Hell I became a certified translator just to save several hundred $$$ in translation fees--one of the crazy things with governments--They would accept me translating my own papers, go figure!
