Q: Should I send money to the women I correspond with to help with their expenses?
A. WE DON'T RECOMMEND THAT. If the woman with whom you are corresponding is really interested in you then she will certainly respond without any financial incentive. We kindly ask you to inform us about ANY money request initiated by a female candidate, for any purpose. Please, forward that part of the letter with the request of money to our agency.
BACK TO QUESTIONS
Q: I am 55, does this matter?
A: This is where Uzbek ladies differ from European and American women - the age of the partner they prefer. Family is very important to Uzbek ladies. They often marry men who are many years older than themselves. They look for stability and for someone who will be a good father and would be able to provide for the family. Many ladies don't mind to marry men much older than themselves. Also, public opinion in Uzbekistan is very liberal to the age difference. People don't see anything wrong with the 10-15 years age difference. Whilst this may appear very attractive, having too large an age gap may mean you don't have much in common or the activities the two of you wish to do are very different. Though in most cases age doesn't matter.
BACK TO QUESTIONS
Q: Why would Uzbek ladies be interested in marrying foreigners? Are they just looking for a "free ticket" out of the country?
A: There are several reasons why Uzbek women want to marry foreign men. First, they see men from developed countries as making much better husbands than men in their own country. In addition, Americans and other Westerners for instance, are perceived as more sensitive and caring than the local men. It's certainly true that feminism has affected Uzbekistan much less that it has Western countries.
The second reason why these women are interested in foreign husbands is because of poor economic conditions in their homeland. Though most of them do not live in hopeless poverty, they lack many of the modern conveniences that we now take for granted. For example, most live without the aid of dishwashers, microwave ovens, vacuum cleaners, electric can openers, or even washing and drying machines (they wash all their clothes by hand and hang them outside to dry, even in the winter). "American housewives don't have to do anything but push buttons," was the comment one awed Uzbek lady made after visiting the United States. The vast majority of these women live in cramped 1, 2 and 3 room apartments with other family members, and very few of these families possess automobiles. To many of them, the life of an average, middle class American or Englishman is that of a fairy tale.
Also, many women in this country are highly educated, but due to the poor economy, can do very little with their degrees. Though most of the women are not career-oriented, they are accustomed to work (under the communist regime, both women and men were expected to work full time), and most want to work at least part-time after their children are in school. They see very little opportunity for challenging work in their own country and feel that they will have a much better chance in America, Europe, and elsewhere.
The third reason is political instability. Even the ladies in the tiny upper-class strata of this country have a dim view of their future. Revolutions and military coups are an integral part of their culture, and most of them feel that the new "free market" economy will undergo tremendous upheaval before everything settles down, if ever. Thus, moving to a country with a stable economic and political environment is very attractive to them.
However, having said all this, it is important to remember that all of these ladies do not view themselves as "desperate" and would only marry a man with whom they were deeply in love and with whom they believed they had the highest chances of building a happy marriage and family. People in this country have been living in more or less the same way for centuries, and they do not view themselves as living under tremendous hardship, as someone might think. As mentioned previously, the vast majority of these ladies are not living in poverty: they lead comfortable but meager lives. They are proud of their cultures, and they have every right to be. Few of them would uproot themselves from their family and their lifelong friends and move to the other side of the world unless they truly believed that had a chance of lasting happiness.
BACK TO QUESTIONS
Q: What are the advantages of marrying an Uzbek lady?
A: Women from Uzbekistan are more old-fashioned and family-oriented than their Western counterparts. Families in this culture do seem to be more closely connected and interdependent that those in the West, probably because they've been forced to be. Unable to depend on an oppressive communist regime, they have only been able to depend on each other. And because both the mother and father traditionally work, it's not uncommon for an Uzbek girl to begin running the entire household at an age of 12 or 14, taking care of a younger brothers and sisters (families are usually big here), preparing meals, washing clothes, etc. Women mature very quickly in this county - they have to.
However, it should be pointed out that ladies from this culture are far from "submissive" and do not view themselves as such. They simply consider their role as mother and caretaker of the home as a natural part of being a woman, and they expect the husband to have a similar degree of comfort about his role of being the primary breadwinner for the family. Foreign brides are popular because many men would like to marry a woman a good deal younger than they are, and the Western cultures are not as receptive to age differentials. In Uzbekistan, it is considered perfectly normal for a woman to marry a man 10-15 years (or even more) older.
One final point in favor of marrying an Uzbek woman is inherent in the relationship itself. The differences in culture provide a fertile ground for a rich and varied marriage. Many mix-cultured families say that the non-stop process of learning about each other's cultures and traditions adds a crucial spark to their relationship.

Q: What about the disadvantages? Isn't the language barrier a problem?
A: Naturally, the cultural differences mentioned above that can add the "spark" can also be a source of friction in a marriage. There can be major differences regarding everything from the marriage ceremony itself to how the children are raised. However, like most problems in life between people, they can be solved if both parties are truly committed to the overall relationship.
Generally, foreign brides-to-be learn the language of the country in which they'll be living, because they'll need it not only to communicate with their new husbands, but also to survive on a daily basis. This is usually not a problem, because the women who are serious about finding husbands abroad prepare themselves by studying the language of the country they're most interested in residing. English has been taught to all students in Uzbekistan as a second language for the past few years, so just about everyone who needs to speak fluent English has a solid base from which to start. Many women represented by our agency speak, write, and understand English.
BACK TO QUESTIONS
Q: What about testing the waters? Is it possible to invite a lady to the United States to see what it's like to live together on a daily basis?
A: Yes. The U.S. Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services offers a special visa, the K-1 Fiancee Visa, which is designed specifically for this purpose. It allows your lady to come to America for a three month "trial period." At the end of this period, you have the option of marrying her; otherwise, she must return to her home country.
This is not only a convenient way of entering into marriage with a foreigner, but also the best way with regard to U.S. immigration laws. If things do not work out between you and your fiancee, you will not be precluded from making a future fiancee visa application, nor will she. And if things do work out and you get married, the visa can be easily converted to a green card. Later, she can apply for citizenship as well.
Other countries have different laws on this matter, but there is always an opportunity to bring your bride home for so called "trial period". Please, be sure to check your country's legislation on this matter.
