How long does it normally take for someone in Russia to get a visa to visit the USA?

Question

I think my friend may be caught up in a scam because a girl is telling him she can get a visa in 8 days but she needs help ($300) with the agency. Sounds a little suspicious to me and I do not want to see him waste his money. Next, if it is a scam what is the best way to tell him?

Answer 1

Mail Order Bride Scheme

Subjects post advertisements purportedly from women living in another country, looking for relationships with men from the United States. Individuals who reply receive emails from the women initiating a relationship, which usually develops very quickly. The woman explains that she wants to come to the country where the individual resides, but she has no money and does not know the procedures or paperwork to complete. A dating agency that is willing to take care of all the necessary paperwork and coordination for a small fee corresponds with the individual.

The individual sends the money and are told that the woman is arriving on a certain date; however, before the date of arrival, the individual receives an urgent email or telephone call regarding a new problem requiring more funds. Regardless of whether the individual sends money or not, he never hears from the woman or agency again.

Answer 2

this is a scam. russia doesn't just let their women go for $300.00. If you send her anything she'll vanish with your money and you'll be out $300.00 and have no woman. Take some advice from someone who's been in the same situation.....it is a 100% pure scam. If she wants you for real, she'll find a way to be here without digging in your wallet. Trust me on this.
