Papers, papers, papers

by Joseph
(La Paz, Bolivia)

I'm getting married in Bolivia to a beautiful Bolivian woman. We hope! Trying to do things the leagle way. The frustration level has reached an all time high, and we are hoping we can still manage to get married by the end of the month. We have been through a nightmare of papers, papers, papers, leagalization, authintification, certification, noterization, money, money, money, certified, leagalized, lobotamized....is there anyone else going through all this? I thought we had only one more paper, but each step reveals five more steps, and ten more signatures...and I am not one of the rich americans who can afford to fly back and forth to DC to meet with this person at the state dept, and this person at the Bolivian counsular....

Ok, sorry, just needed to vent. Any advice? Any way to streamline this process.

Thanks for the good website

by: Tom

I also fell in love witha bolivian woman. We ended up marrying in the U.S. but there were many complications and paperwork and fees but I am happy to say that after 2 years my wife now has her green card. we are getting our paperwork together now so we can get married in La Paz but everything is way too complicated... My sympathy for you and your fiance. My email is tfl0049@optonline.net if I can help you please contact me
