Frequently Asked Questions
About Book "Chinese Women in Love and Marriage"
Why AsianPromise?
Please refer to our page: Why
AsianPromise?
IMBRA is a controversial United States federal statute that requires background checks for all marriage visa sponsors. It was signed into law on January 5, 2006. The IMBRA Act targets US citizens with criminal histories. Please see its relevant website for the details of IMBRA.
We do not sell wives and husbands, we help people by offering AsianPromise as a platform for them to meet themselves and by offering them supporting information to achieve happiness themselves. If you want a "mail order bride", then Asian Promise is not the right service for you.
Why are your ladies
special?
Please refer to our page: Why are AsianPromise Ladies Special?
Do you actually meet and interview your women all in person?
We do not meet and interview every member of Asian Promise, but we do go to China to have "members' meetings" from time to time. Please see our page: Meetings. Through these meetings, we answer questions, gain trust and become friends with our members. Apart from these meetings, we also have very close contact with our lady members at all times by email and telephone. Just like you, they share with us their concerns and seek help from us by mail and telephone.
However as with building any relationship, those involved should take time to get to know each other to be sure that you are both sincere to make a lifelong commitment.
Do you ladies all can write or speak English and contact me directly?
Most of our ladies can, with varying skills, write or speak English. Since good Communication is crucial for a happy relationship, we encourage all our ladies to learn and improve their English by talking to you directly. If the lady is not willing to learn English and wants to depend on a translator or agent, we don't welcome her to join AsianPromise. We guarantee that more than 95% of our ladies can contact you directly. We have published her English level on her profile for your reference. The most important thing after all is her attitude to English learning, not her current English level.
Some of your ladies' profiles have been there for one year, are they still valid?
If her profile is longer than six months, she is our paid member (we only offer 6 months period for free membership). During her paid membership with AsianPromise, she can update her profile, turn off or on her profile and contact us at any time. Therefore all Our Ladies profiles are valid and up to date.
Since all our ladies are looking for a true love and a long term relationship, which needs effort and time as we all know, it is quite usual to see some of our ladies who have been on AsianPromise for one year or even longer than one year.

AsianPromise offers a quality service, which is monitored and updated every day. We review each Asian lady member profile individually and non free member's profile is longer than 6 months old. All our Chinese ladies are paid members. We provide online support for all our paid members. We are also IMBRA compliant.

How do I choose Between Ladies?
We understand your concerns very much. Most of the time our men start with more than one lady. After 2-3 months of corresponding, you should work out which ones you would like to meet. The relationship should be confirmed after you meet them in person and you should stop contacting others for marriage purposes after then (we prefer to publish a photo of you and your lover on our website in order to increase the transparency among our customers, see Our Lovers ). If you decide to start with more than one lady, we suggest you to tell her the truth. Our ladies would understand this and in fact most of time they do the same things as you do.
I want to call my lady by telephone. What is the time difference?
Unfortunately this is going to vary depending on which country you are calling from and any seasonal adjustments that exist there. Most telephone directories will list the time difference for you. It is worth noting, however, that is no time difference across China and Hong Kong and no seasonal adjustments. Use the following as a rough guide
UK: Call at lunchtime and it is
evening in China (+7-8 hours difference)
USA: Call in the evening and it is daytime in China (+13 to 18 hours difference) Australia: Call during the evening and it is daytime in China (0 to -3 hours difference) For other countries, please see The World Clock.
Is the postal service in China reliable and secure? How long it will take?
The postal service in China is reasonably reliable, although as always it is unwise to send items of value in the post without using compensation paid or registered post. An alternative in large cities is to use a service like UPS. Allow a week for Airmail, maybe longer to rural parts of China.
Do I need to visit the lady in China or can she join me here?
From our experience, most men go
to China to see their lady after
first corresponding with each
other by email or phone for at
least 2-3 months. By doing this,
the man not only shows his
sincerity, but also gets the
real feeling of being together.
It is usually easier for men
from overseas to travel to China
than for Chinese ladies to
travel overseas because of visa
problems. In addition, most
Chinese ladies still enjoy
traditional dating. They like a
man to chase her to prove his
interest.
How can I get married with her?
Please refer to our page: Getting Married
Can you give me more advice on culture and dating, e,g. communication, sex, money...?
