if I fly to russia and married her would most of the problems go away?

Answer 1

she can't immigrate to the US unless she has an immediate family member who's a US citizen, but she can come to the US temporarily by a visitor visa or a student visa, the easiest way to immigrate is to immigrate through marriage to a US citizen.

Answer 2

easiest is for you to travel to Russia and get married then sponsor her as alien relative /spouse filing fees around 300 USD it will take from 6 mo to 1 yr for visa, In your place i would do a backround investigation on her first prostitution is rampant there so are fraudulent marriages good friend just did that and forgot all about Russia and marriages there try to bring her a tourist

Answer 5

THINK HARD ON THIS - OR YOU MIGHT FIND YOURSELF SLEEPING WITH A POLAR BEAR:
Ever since the iron curtain fell, criminals have been pouring out of the countries of the former soviet union, to plunder and infect the rest of the world with their criminal minds and conduct. Theft, scams, and every illegal method of cheating and robbing is a way of life for them, the word is out all over Russia that when stores close in America, there is still stuff on the store shelves that has not been sold or shoplifted. This is an incredible thing for anyone in Russia to believe, and the petty thief element has seized on that rumor and, (500,000 to date), have come to the USA to steal or grab whatever they can get

In the old soviet union, the word and the way was, to cheat the government; there was no private industry to cheat, so they cheated the state. It has become engrained in their mentality and thought. This mentality to cheat the government, they carry to the rest of the world. Tax fraud ,welfare and healthcare fraud are the passwords to riches for them here in America.

The particulars of the methods used:

1.SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS
The social security law provides for benefits to a married couple entitled by right to social security. However, if the couple divorces, each gets individually the same amount the two of them got together, or almost that sum. So the scheme is to go thru a divorce case, get a divorce judgment, pretend to live apart but actually continue on, collecting double what they had before. They get separate addresses, but one of them gives a false address where other Russians live, gets his or her social security check there, and goes on living with his “former” spouse.

2.MEDICARE BENEFITS
Russian-Ukranian immigrants are particularly adept at this scheme. They set up medical clinics, and put in them one licensed doctor, but the rest are all Russian or Ukranian doctors who are unlicensed in the USA. The clinics are super fraud schemes – all their patients are immigrants from the former soviet union – so that the scheme is protected from outside introspection. How it works? False claims for these persons for medical benefits allegedly provided are submitted. The social security administration tries to verify if these services were really rendered and they face a language barrier and a fear barrier. The language barrier is obvious – these older people cant speak English. The fear barrier is much less apparent – these people are inculcated with the sense that the government is a punishing force, having lived thru it during the soviet years. Consequently, they shut up when approached by any investigator, and spread the word to the clinic operators. These people know the scheme as well as the Russians operating the clinic. Its phony services to people who wont talk and wouldn’t talk even if they could talk. Millions are raked in all over the US as the word has spread that this is an untouchable scheme. They’re right, it is. The old people who go to these clinics wouldn’t talk if they could speak English.

3.PHONY DISABILITY BENEFITS

The word is out all over the former soviet union, that in America, all you have to do is claim you are unable to work and the government supports you and gives you free medical care. This attracts the parasite class, whose main ambition is to live off of what others provide them and the prostitution clique of the old soviet union – women with no scruples, the type whose underhanded life style plagues the innocent. These scam artists get phony medical certificates in Russia from corrupted doctors, don’t show them when they apply for visas to come here, but on arrival go to the social security administration, show the documents and claim disability benefits under the social security system. They bring with them whatever pills are needed to create the symptoms of the condition if they are examined by American doctors, and a hundred thousand are claiming they have heart disease and getting free medical care and benefits by showing bad heart beat arrhythmias, when they apply and get away with it. All thru pills they know cause heart beat irregularities or other symptoms of conditions that will lead an examining doctor to conclude the disabling condition really exists.

4.SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS TO DECEASED PERSONS

When one of them dies, they bury the body secretly in some isolated area, and keep collecting social security benefits, and let some other illegal immigrant use the medical card of the deceased person and take the deceased’s person name, benefits and place. The death is not reported to local authorities or to anyone else. They find some person of the same age and gender to acquire the identity of the deceased person and keep collecting the benefits, while still another person adopts and uses the deceased person’s medical card. If investigators come around to check up, and the scheme participants are contacted, the story is that they don’t know the person, or the person moved away, or the person is in Russia on a trip and they know nothing more. This scheme usually succeeds until the deceased person, had they really been still alive, would be in his or her late 80s. Since all the persons in on the scheme are closely knit, usually the relatives of the deceased, breaking into it is impossible.
