Russian - American marriages

so may dating sites and marriage agencies tout that American -Russian marriages have very low divorce rates. These statements are worthless. There have not been enough marriages over time to determine this.

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services report that "...marriages arranged through these services would appear to have a lower divorce rate than the nation as a whole, fully 80 percent of these marriages having lasted over the years for which reports are available." The USCIS also reports that "... mail-order bride and e-mail correspondence services result in 4,000 to 6,000 marriages between U.S. men and foreign brides each year."

In about 10-15 years we can have some valid statistics.
