I was talking to one who I decided was a scam, posted a model's picture, sent me a supposed scan of her passport. I talked to her on the phone too, thought the voice didn't match the picture. She professed to want to be my slave for life. And so quickly wanted to come here. Some of her glicthes I couldn't quite catch her on because of the language issue and not being sure she understood. But then there was the sending money to her part and things not adding up. She was pretty good at what she was doing though. It was interesting how I could get kind of caught up in believing it. I wonder if there are books on the psychology involved in scams. This might not be relevant in your case, but I think for anyone making contact over the internet verifying is an issue. Of course I also had the same concerns you do about her needing to learn English better, how I care for her, how it all would be for her, how she would react (homesickness?, culture shock?)and what problems I might have on my hands if she turned out to be uncontrollable or a bad person. Anyway checking out her stories I looked a little at the immigration laws and that seems to be quite a challenge. Short of marrying within 90 days on a fiance visa which requires you've already met, there are visitor visas, student visas, and work visas. For a student visa, there needs to be an approved school and course of study or goal I think. For a work visa there needs to be an employer. If I employed her in any way, I can just imagine the possibilities of sexual harrassment and slavery alegations I might be at risk for. I think it would be a nice to have a wider range of possibilities by including overseas persons, but it seems really complicated to actually have them stay here long term, other than marrying them. And I personally would want to know someone a while before I considered that, not 90 days. I'm no expert. I would be curious to know how one would bring someone over here in that kind of situation, so I could consider overseas persons. Maybe you could share your situation in regard to that, since obviously marrying her was not on your agenda. Also maybe how you handled verification if you don't have mutual friends, and how you assess compatibility and test her sincerity and submissiveness to you? Maybe it would be easier if an overseas slave could just be locked in a cage for the first few months, as I've seen posted some slaves have experienced. I appreciated plantlady64's comments. My only experiences were knowing a Burmese girl friend's friends here from Burma, who were hard to converse with at all except basic things, because they just were not familiar with this culture. It would be nice to hear what happens and good luck.
