Thanks for the response. My handle is creativelightning. Supposedly the 500 included - English course, Passport, Visa, Medical exam. and help processing papers.
I had asked her to check on it. She had said she was going to pay it and it would take about 3 months.
When the war started with iraq she ask me if I was concerned and offered for me and my daughter to come live with her if I wanted. She told me how beautiful Kiev is. (I already knew because I have saw many, many pictures).
She has also said if it would save money for me to just wait until I could come see her and then I could apply for the visa here since we would have met and she would only have to take care of an appointment with the embassy in Ukraine, medical visit and consent from her son's father.
She has never asked me for money and seems sincere in her writing. I offered to send a laptop because she uses the Internet Cafe or coffee house to email me. I wanted to be able to instant message her. When I told her I would send a laptop to her I asked if she would be able to get internet access and she told me yes, that it would not be too expensive for her to pay for it.
Is it possible that maybe she is referring to a package offered by someone that helps with visa's? As of now the laptop came back and I have sent her no money. We've been communicating for 10 months. Do you think she would give up by now? Or am I just gullable.
