IMPORTANT NOTICE

This part of my web site is on the move.

Due to circumstances unexpected, if not unforseen, this part of the website is moving. It is now hosted on a new domain at www.jpoc.net so please, update your book marks or whatever. The Eastern Women pages that are here will remain for the timebeing but they will not be as up to date as on the new site. Thanks for reading this and good luck.

Women from the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe
If you are here, you probably know that I recently married a woman from the Russian city of St.Petersburg.

I do not intend to tell my story here or to post details of other women from Russia who wish to contact men from the West.

Rather, I am posting a few pages of advice and information on the practicalities that are involved in such a relationship.

As a result of some of my postings on the RWL, I have been asked to write about some of my experiences in the matter of visas etc and that is what I intend to use these pages for. While the first batch of information was specific to Germany, I am now adding information of a more general nature.

The information here should help you to bring your fiancee into Germany and then to marry her.

These pages will be a continuous work in progress so check back every so often. I've done the promised page on jobs to be done after the marriage and also, if you are looking here, you might be interested in my pages about living and working in Germany. See the link below for that!

The next addition here will be some material on the subject of learning English.

If you have any comments or questions, just email me.
