Questions

Direct answers, including the unflattering ones.

If a concern is missing, please put it in your application. We would rather retire a file than enroll a man who is surprised by the terms of the arrangement. We do not hold consultations before a completed application.

How do I know this is not a scam?

LHS LLC is a limited liability company registered in the Commonwealth of Virginia since January 2016. Entity ID S5969821. Anyone can look it up on the State Corporation Commission site (cis.scc.virginia.gov). The Spanish-speaking American who will be with you in Cali is the same person who reads your application, gets on the consultation if we invite you to one, and sits with you at sign-up. There is no setter and no closer. Upon agreement, you receive a legally enforceable document. It states that the individual who signed you up, or LHS LLC, will repay 100% of what you paid plus any transaction fees if we fail to render the matchmaking services and, for example, only arrange travel and lodging to Cali. You will not be left chasing an offshore shell.

Why is this the safest way for me to access these beautiful women?

Although the women are truly exceptional in their world-renowned attractiveness, making tourism appealing, dating in Colombia is extremely dangerous to the naive, inexperienced or unconnected foreigner. Drugging (including scopolamine attacks), elaborate kidnapping schemes, and robbery are all well-documented and ever-present risks. Our service exists because those risks are very much real. It is both unsafe and ultimately more expensive to go about meeting women in Colombia in a less deliberate fashion; our service is unique in the market as to the reasonable level of safety we can provide.

Can I skip the application and just get on a call?

No. We do not hold consultations for men who have not completed an application, including a recent photo. The written file is the entry door.

How soon will I hear back?

Every application receives a follow-up by phone or email within 24 to 48 hours. That contact is brief. It will not take much of your time. It only states whether we are interested in moving forward with a 20-minute consultation. Questions about the search, the week in Cali, and enrollment are answered on that consultation, not on the first callback.

Who do you work with?

Adult, heterosexual men seeking a wife or a serious partner, who can travel to Santiago de Cali, Colombia; complete a background check; and keep our conduct rules. We do not accept all potential or interested clients.

Do you also represent the women as paying clients?

The men we enroll pay for the search. The women we introduce are not a product, nor do they pay for your access to them. They agree to meet because the introduction is serious and screened.

Why Santiago de Cali?

Because that is where we've been on the ground since 2018, building relationships worthy of our clients' trust. We are not a pan-regional dating app with a Cali filter.

What does caleña mean?

A woman from Cali. Some women we introduce were born in other parts or regions of Colombia and live in Cali now. We will say so, and we do not use broad labels that erase place and person.

Are the women in the photographs available?

No. Those images are selected success stories and community members who authorized their portraits. Most of those women have already found partners through our service.

Can I pick someone from the gallery?

No. This is not a catalog. Matching is done by your matchmaker against your application and against what and who we know in the city.

Why show portraits at all?

Because clients ask for a plain look at the baseline physical standard of the women we can introduce. We know a gallery of attractive women, shown alone, can make a serious matchmaking operation like ours look like an escort shop or a recruitment site. The pictures are still not a menu, and we are not a forwarding service.

How is this different from using a dating app, pickup, or cold approach?

Cold approach, pickup, and online dating in Colombia are unwise, often dangerous, and usually more expensive after considering the substantial risks. Women worth meeting have their defenses up with foreign strangers who might be (and often are) sex tourists. The usual serious introduction here is still by way of "ven le presento una amiga": let me introduce you to a lady friend. You are paying for a fluent Spanish-speaking American on the ground in Cali since 2018, and for the coaching and logistics that make a successful first date with a high-quality match possible.

What does the fee include?

The six-month Private Partner Search: intake, dedicated matchmaker, sourcing, a minimum of three mediated dinners, coaching before and after, up to three one-hour virtual consultations per week, and the first 4-5 day Hosted Matchmaking Visit. Round-trip from the continental U.S. and a 5-star hotel are included up to $2,000, booked by us. Private cars, security, and translation services are included. Paid in full, the fee is $20,000. Paid across six months, the total is $22,500.

Can I pay over six months?

Yes. If you pay across the six-month term, the total is $22,500. Paid in full, it is $20,000. The work does not change. Payment terms are written into the enrollment agreement. Spreading the fee does not create a right to a refund.

Are there extra fees?

Not for introductions, events we arrange, or the first Hosted Matchmaking Visit’s travel and hotel inside the $2,000 cap. Your meals, personal purchases, extra hotel nights, upgrades above the cap, and a second Hosted Matchmaking Visit’s travel and lodging are separate.

Why this price?

Because the work is high-touch, capped at one or two Hosted Matchmaking Visits a month on average, and includes a funded trip plus months of pre- and after-care. A premium label without that substance would not justify the figure.

How many clients do you take?

One or two Hosted Matchmaking Visits a month, on average. We do not accept more than three in a calendar month. Current openings are on the home page calendar.

How long is the service period?

Six months from enrollment, with a possible extension to twelve.

What if I am not satisfied after six months?

We extend to twelve months and arrange a second Hosted Matchmaking Visit. You pay travel and lodging for the second trip only. To date, no second visit has been requested: every first visit has resulted in a relationship. That is past performance, not a promise of future results.

Do you guarantee a wife, an approved visa, or a particular match?

No, we will not. People have free will. They can decline or change their minds. Anyone who sells you a guaranteed spouse or "mail-order bride" is invariably selling theatre.

Will she meet every item on my checklist?

Unlikely. People are unique and imperfect. We look for a serious partner rather than a specification sheet.

I think of myself as a catch. Does that help?

It does not change the terms. You are not a fish, and neither is she. We work on fit and character, not on rating human beings as we would material products.

How many introductions should I expect?

A minimum of three mediated dinners on the first Hosted Matchmaking Visit, prepared in advance, usually across more than one day. Never a token meal. They may not all be with different women if an earlier date goes particularly well and both of you want another evening or outing.

Who is my matchmaker?

The Spanish-speaking American who reads your application, conducts the consultation if we invite you to one, signs you up, and stays with you on the Hosted Matchmaking Visit. You are not handed to a rotating sales desk.

How often do we meet during the six months?

Virtually up to to three times a week, one hour each, for detailed coaching and Q&A, including once you are at home; in addition to daily, direct, verbal advocacy on your behalf with your chosen match after a Hosted Matchmaking Visit and once you have decided to pursue a particular relationship.

What happens before I fly?

Intake, criteria refinement, image and first-impression coaching, messaging and conversation work, logistics, and a briefing on Cali, conduct, and the people you will meet. Wardrobe and personal hygiene are checked again when the week in Cali begins.

What happens during the week in Cali?

Four or five days of planned dinners and accompanied introductions, with your translator serving as your wingman, private cars, security, and debriefs. See the Cali Week page.

Who translates?

A Spanish-speaking American on the ground in Cali since 2018. That person is also responsible for your security and transportation while you are a client physically in the city. Translation will be as true to the original message as possible, so long as it protects and serves your best interests.

Can you eliminate all danger?

No. We dramatically reduce the usual patterns of harm by controlling transport, venues, and company. Travel always retains residual risk.

May I go to meetings alone?

Not as part of this service. Your translator-security lead is responsible for your movements.

May I give money or "help" to women I meet?

No. Offering money to the women you are introduced to is forbidden. It collapses the introduction into a transaction and violates the anti-human-trafficking and anti-prostitution disclosure you will sign after enrollment.

What about gifts?

Keep anything you offer modest, public, and non-coercive. If you are unsure, ask us before you buy. Cash, rent, cellular devices, and "help with a problem" are not acceptable gifts.

What is the policy on sex during a Hosted Matchmaking Visit?

Sexual liaisons are strongly discouraged. If they occur, we may suspend the service with no refund. The week in Cali is for evaluating a possible partnership.

What is the anti-trafficking rule?

After enrollment, you sign an anti-human-trafficking and anti-prostitution disclosure. You will not engage in prostitution or trafficking, and you will not pay for companionship. We will end the relationship with you if that line is crossed.

Do the women pay you to be introduced to American men?

Treat every person we introduce as a private individual, not as staff. They do not pay us to be introduced to you, are not commissioned to extract money from you in any way, and have free will as to entering a relationship with you.

How do you screen the women?

Through long-standing local relationships, direct conversation, background checks, family and work references where available, and our judgment as to their intent. We do not claim omniscience. We do claim that we will not send you into a situation unsuitable for a personal friend.

How do you screen clients?

Application, photo, interview if we invite you to one, background check, and the right to decline. We will not introduce a man who we would not defend to the family of a woman in Cali.

Why a background check?

Because the women, and in some cases U.S. law around international introductions, deserve more than a phone screen. Past conduct matters.

What might the background check include?

Identity verification, criminal records, sex-offender registries, and other public records. The authorization on the application is the controlling text.

Will you share my information?

With background check vendors, with our team, and as required by law with people you may be introduced to. We will never sell your data, under any circumstances. See the disclaimer page.

What is IMBRA?

The International Marriage Broker Regulation Act is a U.S. statute that can apply to services that introduce Americans to people abroad for dating or marriage. Where it applies, we collect required background information and make required disclosures. By applying, you agree to provide complete, truthful information for that purpose.

Do you file visa petitions or act as immigration counsel?

No. If a relationship moves toward a fiancée or spousal visa, hire a qualified immigration attorney (we may refer you to one if you wish). We can discuss timeline in practical terms. We will not pretend to be your lawyer.

Can the relationship stay in Colombia?

Yes, if that is what both you and your match want. Many clients hope the woman will eventually live in the United States. That is a joint decision, not a guaranteed deliverable we can ship.

I do not speak Spanish.

That is why a translator will be with you during the Hosted Matchmaking Visit and why after-care includes us as an ongoing bridge. You should still attempt to learn. A serious partnership cannot be carried by an interpreter forever.

Are large age differences a problem?

Sometimes. We will be frank if the gap you want leaves almost no one who also wants a sincere peer relationship. We will not not pretend age is meaningless, but we may be able to accommodate age gap requests of up to 20-25 years.

I am divorced or have children.

Say so early. It changes matching criteria and how a woman in Cali may weigh a future with you. Hiding this detail wastes everyone’s week.

What about religion and family?

Family opinion carries weight for many or most women we would introduce. If faith, Sunday lunches, or establishing a relationship with your partner's family are of particular concern to you, we should know that before the week in Cali begins.

What mistakes do you see men make?

Treating the trip like a test drive. Leading with money. Under-sharing marital history. Performing instead of listening. Pushing physical intimacy to "see if there is chemistry." Negotiating a woman’s life as if it were a relocation package. All of the above may contribute to losing a potential match.

What happens after I go home?

If there is a relationship to tend, we stay in the conversation: with you up to three times a week, and in direct contact with her daily, for the rest of the term. Long distance is work; we are there so it does not languish in a WhatsApp thread.

What if she changes her mind?

Then the search continues within the term, including the extension path if you qualify. We will not harass your match, nor will we invent a story to spare your feelings.

What if I change my mind?

Tell us, and we can redirect sourcing inside the term. Walking away from the service does not create an obligation to a refund.

Do you offer cash refunds?

If we fail to render the matchmaking services and only, for example, arrange travel and lodging, the enrollment agreement requires a 100% repayment plus transaction fees, from the individual who signs you up or from LHS LLC. If we do the work and you dislike the romantic result, the standing remedy is more work: twelve months and a second Hosted Matchmaking Visit, with you covering travel and lodging the second time. Conduct violations end the service without a refund.

May I speak with a past client?

Not as a public listing. After we have your completed application, and only given that person’s express permission, we will provide at least one complete past-client reference you can call.

Can I pause?

For a documented medical or family emergency we will try to freeze the calendar. Vacations and indecision are not pretexts to pause.

How confidential is this?

We do not publish client names or use your story as marketing without written permission. You will see other people in restaurants. Discretion is a strict and standard practice.

Why is there no phone number on the site?

We do not publish a number because U.S. lines are a primary target of scrapers and scammers, not because this is an offshore shop. Enrolled clients receive the personal, iMessage- and WhatsApp-enabled, Virginia-based number of the person who will do the work for them throughout the engagement. Until then, submit an application. We reply within 24 to 48 hours.

Who authorized the photographs?

The women depicted. We were given permission to publish them for the purposes of marketing this service.

How do I start?

Submit the full application, including a recent photo or selfie. Completing it does not automatically admit you. Within 24 to 48 hours we will call or email, briefly, to say whether we wish to hold a 20-minute consultation. That consultation is where your questions get answered.

How soon can I travel?

After enrollment, coaching, screening and sourcing. We will not put you on a plane to simply vacation. The Hosted Matchmaking Visit happens when the roster of introductions is set.

Do you require medical tests?

We require honesty about health insofar as what a partner would need to know. Specific testing may be discussed with your match on a case by case basis. Lying about contagious illness is grounds to end the service.

I have a criminal record.

Disclose it. Some histories we cannot introduce. Hiding one is worse than the record itself.

Is this an escort service, a dating site, or a mail-order arrangement?

No. It is a private matchmaking search with a Hosted Matchmaking Visit and a long follow-up service period.

Where is the legal disclaimer?

On the Disclaimer and terms page. Read it before you apply. Submitting a form means you have had a chance to read it.

What age do I have to be?

You must be at least 18 years of age and legally able to enter a contract. We introduce only adults. We do not serve or depict minors.

How old are the women you introduce?

Every woman we introduce is 18 years of age or older. That is a condition of the work. The anti-human-trafficking and anti-prostitution disclosure you sign after enrollment documents this. We do not serve, depict, or arrange meetings with minors.

Can I reuse photos from this site?

No. The images belong to the women and to this service to the extent that their use is authorized. Do not download, share, or reverse-search them to contact anyone.
