A Volga Girl owner Craig Rich was contacted for comment about
pending legislation that would require all users of Russian bride sites
to undergo a background check before they ever utilized the services of
companies like ours at volgagirl.com. Our sentiment is that background
checks on male relationships counterparts are fine, but such checks should
be conducted only at the time that a couple becomes engaged and specifically
at that time when the man is applying for his fiancee's visa status in
his home country. The detailed article/release appeared across all major

A Volga Girl principal Craig Jay Rich was recently contacted for comment on pending legislation in Washington State requiring their residents using Internet sites like A Volga Girl to submit to background checks before they are permitted access any type of offered services. There are thousands of American and other western-oriented men searching for Russian mail order brides. The legislation has since passed in an amended form, requiring such checks at the time the Washington resident applies for his K-1 Visa to bring his foreign Fiancée to the United States with the intention of marrying within 90 days. The legislation is intended to protect these future brides from abuse.

While the media has historically been less than kind in providing an overview of Internet-based relationships, this cover article of the New York Daily News weekly women's section did provided a somewhat balanced view, though the isolated incidence of abuse & violence within such relationships are commonly presented for the "shock value" it creates among the readers. In fact, there are no statistics indicating that there is any higher incidence of abuse or neglect in American-Russian marriages than in the general American population at large.
