sps- are the pickings that slim in MN? Not trying to make light, but I always wonder why people go that route, are american women that awful (be nice guys!). My husbands Uncle got a mail order bride Peru, she actually came from a very wealthy family in peru and was looking for a way to get to the US, and she was expecting for her American Husband to be wealthy also (because most foreigners think all Americans are rich). He was the farthest thing from rich and it didn't last very long. I am sure some of those arrangements work out, but many many of those women are just looking for a way to get to the US and for a green card, they are not necessarily looking for a happily ever after.
Good luck with what ever you do.
