I recently found this article on NY times called Law on Overseas Brides Is Keeping Couples Apart by EDUARDO PORTER Published: October 17, 2006; here’s the link if you want to read more about it. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/17/us/17brides.html?_r=1&. This article didn’t get my answer to how much they cost but was a very interesting to read. I guess there is some men that have a harder time to get their wives to the America than most places. In this article Mr. Weaver found the woman of his dream and he did all he could to get her back but the government in Colombia where she’s from froze her visa application. The reason they did it was to her soon to be husband was being investigated. To me that’s just a bit far but I understand where they are coming from they are trying to protect the ladies. As for this guy he sends her money to learn English and start learning to drive and he cared for her.  In my opinion I think that marrying someone from another country when you have to buy them is odd to me plus if they stop or put a hold the visa it makes you question I’m I doing the right thing. For him it’s out of love since he went to see her a few times before he knew she was the one. I guess for her is love too other than just get to get America and leave him but it’s not she cared for him and seen something different in him to wait that long to be with him. What do you guys think, would you wait if you were in his solution?
