Hankkh,
I believe they have enough immigration problems without worrying about your fiancee splitting.

The biggest problems for you would be:

1. PROVING she split on her own and that it wasn't planned (like she paid you to bring her here).
You are legally and financially obligated to take care of her only while she is in your company. Once the 90 days on her visa expires she's illegal anyway.
Also you had better hope she doesn't commit any crime while she is here.

2. Good luck on getting another K-1 visa approved in the next 10 years.

V Bob,
I respectfully disagree with you on your point of view.
IMHO and I could very well be wrong, it appears to reflect a part of your own experience and seems somewhat self serving.
Please do give some of the long time CRTs who have chosen to become MMen a little credit.
Although it may be a very low percentage, diamonds in the rough can sometimes be found among the many rocks and pebbles we may have stepped on.
And perhaps we are generalizing too much when it comes to women from third world countries.

It looks to me like the fiance visa requirements set things up for us to fail for the most part. Once you bring them here, you have to marry them in the ninety day time frame.
Most successful relationships work well when the two people have taken the time to get to know each other while living thru many varied situations and circumstances. This gives both parties the opportunity to see how each other reacts in many different situations and whether they can tolerate each other. Ninety days is not long enough for that to happen for a person who has a job to tend to.
As far as the fiance remaining here or the extent of the resonsibility that is on our shoulders, all we have to do is notify the INS in writing that we are withdrawing our support from the lady and she is set to be illegal. THe INS does say however that this does not mean they will come and get her and deport her. They leave it up to her to return without forcing her.
It is real easy to come up with the reason for withdrawing support. All you have to do is say that you discovered that she was selling her body to men before.
I don't know how the limitations work on the tourist visas but perhaps one would have the opportunity for repeated visits over some period of time, allowing one to get to know the girl at a much deeper level.

Well TP, it depends on how you define success. As an immigrant myself, I can tell you that "where there's a will, there's a way", and finding what you need in this country is just a matter of finding to another Latino, pretty hard, eh?
Yes, Scubabum is underestimating his girl, she can compensate for what she doesn't have very easy. How hard could it be for a good looking Latina to find somebody who will take care of her?

As something of an insider to/in this story, I cannot imagine for the life of me A jumping ship in the US and disapearing into amber waves of grain. Now, I am certain that there will be drama, heart ache, extacy, loonacy, childish rants, treats, jelousy, and she might even dissapear for a few hours (lets see how I do on these predictions, eh Scuba?), but she will not be back in Costa Rica/Nicaragua as planned. The trip should be excactly as you would expect, my freind, on all levels (stap in, hold on, and away you go).

I think what is importnat to note here, is that some of us are VERY skilled at getting the types of experience we want; Scuba is a master. I would not want the level of invovlment and "intaimacy" he shares with this young working women, but he clearly does, and is willing to accept the emotional (and other) consequences, and understands them well..

Now, if you DO start to consider the M word, I prey your freind goes through with his obligation...

Have fun..

PS..I will remind you Scuba of something you said to Nature boy and I on our last trip, in case you do start to get serious: "I don't care about all that deep shit, I just wan to bang putas."

From your mouth to G-Ds ears....

I say Phuck it all!!!!!!!! You only live once. Why not bring the chica over? HOw many trips have we all made to Costa Rica to meet up with our favoritas? It's about time some of them make the trip north. I would say if you are already worried about her possibly taking off on you once you get her, then why bother bringing her here? But if feel she won't take off on you... go for it and keep a blog for the rest of us.

What's three months of drama? It's good life experience, good or bad, and you will always have a story to tell your friends.

DO IT!!!

Scuba Baby

It would be easier and cheaper to bring your family to San Jose to meet her. I went thorugh that once with a Mexican. Threw away all pictures I had and tried to change my life.

Beside your being responsible for her she will have to show how she supported herself for the last five years and they will also want to know your source of income. Both not a good idea

Good Luck
