    You have English language skills.

    Seems she would fail this
  • Sounds like a very bad idea. Its not like you will really know this 'imported' woman.., and yet you seem to feel a marriage will work out.

    Then you aren't earning a great deal.., but still think it is a valid to consider this kind of idea.

    Maybe it might be an idea to put your energies into training or something else to improve your circumstances before you consider importing a woman. Marriage won't necessarily improve things for you, it won't solve problems, it can often increase them. And it looks like it would be a fairly long and laborious process.
  • I'm beginning to think that the OP might be a troll. He says he is from Greece, and arrived in the UK around September this year. He has made 121 posts, and his command of English is very varied from post to post. Many of his requests are hyperthetical and this one is just weird!
  • OP, are you going to be paid to marry this woman? Are you aware that this is illegal?

    It seems as if this person 'can't find a British girl' so is planning to 'import one'. Well, you don't import a human being as if she was a commodity, a box of Belgian chocolates or some French cheese!

    Maybe you can't find a British girl because you've been sussed! Who in her right mind would marry you just so that you could use her to claim benefits? On yer bike!

    If she can't speak English presumably you will learn her language? Otherwise it's going to be a very silent household!
    :D I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe :D

    I don't think conversation is the main thing on the OP's mind - he wants to be making babies ;)
