I'm curious, did you find her, or did she find you? Regardless, it is very doubtful that a single, 26 year old woman who lives with her parents would ever be issued a US visa. And if she doesn't aleady have a visa, I guarantee you that there is no way she could be issued one in the next two weeks, even if her paperwork was impeccable. Has she asked for money for a passport/visa/tickets/travel funds/ yet? As soon as she does, you will know it is, sadly, a scam. If by some long shot, she does come to the US to see you, be very careful where you keep your checkbook/bank account/credit card/personal information. Also, do not be surprised if you go out on a date with her, only to come back to find your house robbed by her accomplices. One way or another, based on the information you have provided, you will be set up.

Soulmate after 2 weeks on internet?!
No way.
Firstly, it is next to impossible for a single russian girl living at home to visit USA, UK, Aus, Can etc on a tourist visa. They don't give tourist visas to these russian women because the department of immigration (in your country) fear they will become illegal immigrants (overstay their visa).
I have only heard of a tourist visa to the USA being approved once and it was only because she had kids and a house that she left in Russia and therefore had a reason to return.
Often scammers will ask for money for visa and plane fare, but this is just a scam. Heed the warnings from the posters above and DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY.
Of course I am assuming you live in a Western country .. if you live somewhere like Korea or Thailand then perhaps she really can visit you, but again, DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY.
If you are serious about meeting a nice Russian girl .. then post another question like 'How do I meet a nice, genuine Russian girl?'.
To me this correspondence you are having has 'scammer' written all over it, or it is someone just trying to leave russia by any means.
but it's possible Im wrong! :)

Yes, too good to be true. DON'T SEND NO MONEY. It is virtually impossible for a single Russian woman to get a visa to the US. If you google Russian scams, you will find a lot of antiscam sites there with the scams women pull. If I get the 10, I will send you the antiscam sites worth looking at. I had this problem a couple of years ago and find out all the women wanting to come here were scammers. Of course some of the women were guys writing. LOL Any woman on the internet that wants money is usally a scammer. I met one from Nigeria, who said she was from USA, working there. Well I googled her name and her company which were nonexistent. Then she said she did not need my money as she was honest. Then a month later when she go ready to buy her airline ticket to come back to the states, she was short $200, cuz she had problems with her company on getting her check. I did not send it and she said that I did not love her then. I never said I loved her either. Just another scam. They sound so good till you get burnt. Remember, if the woman EVER asks for money, drop them like a hot potato.

Be careful. Many of the Russian women you meet online are either scam artist, trying to get you to pay their way, or are only looking for someone to marry so they can get citizenship and then take off with half of everything. I have a friend who was in the same situation. He spent almost $40K on trying to get a Russian woman to the states. In the end it was just a scam.
He's a slow learner too. He tried it again with a mail order bride service, and was again taken.
Remember, you just got out of a relationship. You are at a very vulnerable stage. She may be your "soul mate". I'm not saying that you should not follow through with meeting her. Just be careful. If at any time the mention of money comes up, be aware. If she is able to make it here on her own, you have a better chance.
Some things to look out for are requests for airfare, needing money for family, a place to stay, and claims that the government wants a large amount of money for a visa.
I hope, for your sake, that I'm just over cautions. But that's just how you should be, over cautions. Especially if you have only know this person 2 weeks, and you have met over the net. I hope this helps.

How do you become soulmates in just two weeks- especially with only internet correspondence. Do not invite this lady to your house. You need to meet with her in a public place. As the old saying goes: You never know someone till you live with them. But I think 2 weeks is just a tad too early to choose someone as a "soul mate".

Good luck.
Statistics say that she is most likely very hungry and looking for any opportunity to get out of Russia.
She will do anything to win your trust in order to secure a better lifestyle than present day Russia offers.
I'm not knocking it.
A lot of relationships are built on a lot less.
At least you will have the advantage in the beginning.
I would advise you to not let her hook up with other Russian people when she moves here.

I wouldn't do it if I were you. Too many risks involved. (Mind you, I, myself, is a Russian woman who ended up in the US through marriage, 15 years ago.) Although, I do have a friend who's gone to Russia and met a woman there through an agency; they've been married for 10 years now, with two kids, 23 year age difference between them. It CAN work - but IMO it is an expensive and risky route to take unless you're absolutely desperate.

Watch out about meeting Russian women online. They usually will plan to visit with you and ask for some money from you to help them pay their flight or visa or anything else. The women like that are scam artists. I had one try that on me but luckily I didn't fall for it.

I agree, there are a lot of scams out there. Be VERY careful. Do a search of the Internet if you don't believe myself and others. There are lots of websites that cataloged these scam artists. I think something smells very fishy in the situation you've described. Hopefully you haven't sent any money yet.
