Jeff never had trouble meeting people, given his gregarious nature and his line of work—he’s a snowboard instructor, drummer, and D.J. whose handle is “DJake.” But he’d found he was most compatible with black women and he wasn’t meeting many of them in his area. What’s more, Jeff was very eager to meet his match and knew that hoping for the occasional chance meeting might keep him waiting for a long time.
“I wanted someone to fill my lonely heart, and yesterday,” Jeff says. So he decided to try our site. “Within the first month, I was talking to so many ladies that I quit searching to meet new ones,” he marvels. “Several of them are now some of my best friends. I’ve been teaching one of the girls’ daughters how to do magic tricks!”
Kalama was getting plenty of attention of her own, but she had specific ideas about the kind of man she was looking for. When she found Jeff’s profile, it struck her as a bit long, but fun and genuine. She liked that Jeff knew what he wanted. His profile declared he was “Ready for Love.” Their personalities seemed compatible, and so did their relationship goals—both wanted to start a family, sooner rather than later.
There was just one wrinkle to iron out—Jeff was in Ohio and Kalama was in Africa! Undeterred, they started talking on Skype. This was enough for Jeff to learn to love Kalama’s laugh, her beautiful smile, and her witty sense of humor.
Jeff decided to go to Africa for a visit to see if their connection would work in real life. The pair met in person for the first time when Jeff got off the plane in Zambia. “When I finally met her, she was the same person as on Skype, but so beautiful,” Jeff recalls. “Her embrace felt so much warmer than a keyboard!”
The young couple felt a little anxious at first but their nerves settled down as their conversation took off. Jeff and his sweetheart would dance for hours at a local club, until they were the last people on the dance-floor. Later that night, their first kiss came in the back of the cab on their way home.
Jeff would spend seven weeks with Kalama’s family. The couple toured the area to see Africa’s wildlife in its natural habitat and visit the world-famous Victoria Falls. Along the way, they fell madly in love. By the time Jeff headed home, he was a married man. Yes, it’s true—Jeff and Kalama got hitched!
Sadly, difficulties with Kalama’s immigration are keeping the couple apart for now. But Jeff and Kalama are making plans to reunite in Africa. In fact, they hope to visit impoverished villages in Zambia, offering children entertainment, inspiration and gifts.
“Kalama’s smile, heart and love are greater than I ever could have imagined,” Jeff says. Something tells us that no government can keep this couple apart for long.
Wow! what an amazing love story
……..am betting it wont be too long before they are together wherever they want to. True love always conquers all…..

What a sweet story, I certainly hope the US immigration pull their finger out and get the ball rolling for these two.
@Edna- Honey I know where you are from but I think you are mistaken. Not all African people born, bred and living in Africa have ‘opaque, shinning, oily skin’ . I’m Zimbabwean, which is Zambia’s neighbour where Kalama lives. You’ll find fair skinned, dark skinned people everywhere even light skinned people you might think are of mixed race but aren’t. It’s not only black people living in cold weather that have lighter tones/complexions. Kalama has the same skin tone as half my Zim and South African friends who were born, live and work there. I don’t think you meant anything bad by your comment earlier but in future please try not to generalise or stereotype and use it as fact.

Hi
After reading your coment on how hard the U.S. government is to us on marrying out the country. It is truely sad because it like the car telling us that we can only marry people in our country. Now as for your little problem have you ever tried applying for a visitor pass for her to come here. Reason I said that is because I have some friends who are married to people out side the country. Have you tried the sudent visa or traveling visa.That way she can come over to visit or go to school while eveything is worked out.

I completely agree that true love can’t be separated by the government and immigration is something else. I met a beautiful girl from Uganda about 4 years ago on here and we have been back and forth which now have been married for a little over 8 months now. The first time we filed with immigration was for a fiancee visa which seemed to take for ever and decided to stop waiting. So I came back to Uganda living there for several months as we got married. Then had to come back to the states to finish up school and work. While doing all that we filed for a spousal visa which still this day we are awaiting to hear something as we approach the five month mark. We even have a congressional line helping us and even gone public but don’t understand why it seems like I am immigrating to my own country sometimes. So we our waiting to see what happens but the overall answer will not stop us from living a normal married life together. We have several friends and contacts all over Africa and even looked at moving to South Africa. Anyway don’t loose up on hope because we need to keep our faith because God will break those government doors down soon. I know regardless where we live we still want to be able to travel back and forth like civil human beings either in the states or somewhere across the world. With all of this we have formed a mission and cause to help others with immigration and even world power issues throughout poverty situations. I have a degree in law and continuing to provide help to others. Our ministry is called “Fish Bowl Ministries” Bring the water of life to both body and soul. We even have a store front on Facebook called “Hadassah UG-Beads & Jewelry” which we sell handmade jewelry to raise funds for support. Come check us out and be a part of the cause and helping others out. I hope this gets out to everyone and this site can make several people happy falling in love. I like to call it “8500 Miles” of love that God brings to people together to form one happy union of marriage. So Jeff if you need help come contact me and we will see what we can do to bring your beautiful loving wife to you. God Bless!!!

I know the feelings you guys are going through because I went through the same thing, I was frustrated, mind you we got married in uganda in March. I joined my husband December of the same year but in between it was very frustrating. I had to keep calling Nairobi because the Canadian High Commission in Kampala didn’t seem to really know why it was taking so long. These are the same people after getting them every document they requested told me it would only take them 3 months to process. So armed with prayer I called the Nairobi office and each time I made sure to talk to someone to make sure my file was moving. Am a christian so I did what the Word of the Lord says; pray without ceasing and I left the rest to Him (sometimes it was hard). But I have say that it is good to be patient because we as humans want things done right away, yet sometimes a little longer is also good. God’s timing is different from ours we look at the now, He at the future which we don’t know. Because while we where lamenting about this whole thing I now realise that God was working on me . My faith was being tested all the time. I could go on and on but I just want to say pray for God’s favour and don’t loose your cool because trust me some of those people in the imigration office are very rude and ignorant (every time I picked the phone I rebuked the devil). You are going through a season of testing. Mike Murdock says “The place of testing is always the place of trust.” The Holy Spirit will always carefully time your Season of Testing…..to qualify for your Season of Reward. The Holy Spirit does not give you rewards for surviving your test. He provides you a test to qualify you for the rewards He desires you to experince. So guys, wait on the Lord. He will renew your strengh in Him (HE’S GOT YOUR BACK). you are blessed!!!!!

@Edna – Excuse me, I meant to say ‘I do NOT know’ where you are from, it was a typo. I was merely making an observation and not ‘fighting’ any wars. Stereotypes set a precedence for the ignorant and it’s correcting them that enlightens people.

I understand you on the money part because to me I think that is what it is all about with immigration is money. Because if you ever just keep track of all the paper work you fill out and money you send. You will see how much it cost and realize that its just a money thing before you get them over here with immigration.

Having been assigned abroad, I have become more humble and understanding. I too have been handicapped by immigration issues. Met someone, fell in love , brought her to America but yet due to buracracy matters and much time and money, immigration still is not allowing her to stay. It’s under appeal. I truly feel for this couple and if it is sincere, I pray that it will work out. “Love is a terrible thing to waste’

Having married a Scotsman I know how hard it is to prove a real relationship and not an effort to fraudulently get in the country. Before I could I move to Scotland we were told not to marry in the states but to get a fiancee visa then marry in the UK. If we had married in the states it would taken me an additional 6 months to get in the UK.
It is not easy to prove to the government you’re not trying to take advantage of them.

What a wonderful story about two people from different worlds and, countries who met, came together and, fall in love over the internet and, long distance. As a man who has also, loved people from countries like africa, uganda, etc Or, who’s ancestors were brought here who, later fought in the civil war to gain their freedom from slavery, had difficulty in the years afterwards being made to use different bathrooms, forced to sit in the back of the bus, banned from voting till the law was changed, forced to sit in another section at cafe’s we’ve finally, come together so why, shouldn’t they have gotten married? I’ve got many friends who met someone of another race, fell in love and, got married and, started families. I even, went to school with a few who married someone of another race. Hey, I was even in love with a few fellow students of another race. But, as I understand the law (unless, someone can prove me different) she (kalama) now, has duel citizenship and, shouldn’t have those problems she is currently having. She was born in africa which, means she is a citizen from there and, she married an american so, she shouldn’t have any, problems getting through customs, etc because she’s an american now and any children of theirs if, she’s in the U. S. are automatically citizens of the U.S. I also, heard that if, someone from another country wants to live in the U.S. and someone from her country is trying to keep her from coming into the U. S. if, she’s on a boat and has just gotten to the U.S. all, she has to do is step off the boat into the U. S. and she’s automatically an American ciitizen or, if, she’s pregnant and, is in American waters and, her child is born in American waters her child is automatically an American citizen. I also, heard a story about a 5 year old boy who’s mother was from Mexico but, he was born here. He has to live here in the U. S. while his mom as to stay in mexico. Let’s not, forget Elian Gonzales. He was seen by a naval vessal that threw him a rope and, pulled into American waters No sooner, did he step onto American Ground he should have been declared an American citizen. Yes, Yes, I remember, his father was living in Cuba but, he had relatives here. His father, didn’t come to get him for a bit so, he went to the U.S. embasy and signed his first name to a paper makiing him an American and was forced to go back to cuba. In some ways some of these people got justice while others got none. I wish the man and his new wife luck. I hope, to meet them some day. I hope, to be as lucky as him and his wife someday and find someone on here.

If they are fleeing Cuba, once they arrive on the American manland (usually by boat) they will be allowed to stay. If the US Coast Guard stops them, however, they would have to turn back

Guys I just went through the Immigrations mess with lawyers with my wife from Ghana and it takes 10-17 months for full approval . The only thing I can say is your a beautiful couple but pls watch the hatred in the united states toward mixed marriage of our races and. Ultires. I live in Texas where my wife was taken by local laws due to an old white lady saying bad things were happening and our great god knows there was nothing and because I’m white and my wonderful wife was new here I’m fighting a legal battle to get her back. Yes it’s not all whites here it’s also a black family that has their own issues causing trouble so in closing here I say in the name of our great god almighty pls all lets get over skin color and race and understand people that have this very deep spiritual love in their hearts and soul deserve to be together till death do we part as our marriage vows state. If anyone out there has a suggestion and advise I would be soo appreciative. God bless this beautiful couple here and may we all be blessed with real love.
