How NOT to get a Green Card ;-)

A 24-year Russian Girl, Yuliya Kalinina, who was caught by the cops for placing a ad on Craglist.com which went like this:

"Green Card Marriage -- Will pay $300/month. Total $15,000. This is strictly platonic business offer, sex not involved. NOT required to live together. "

LOL. She was obviously unaware that marrying only with the intent of securing a Green Card is illegal and that Cyber detectives are always surveying Craigslist for sex offender, illegal buying-selling and sexual predators

An immigrant with legal marriage to a US Citizen can get a Green Card within as less as 6 months to a year.

Note that an IMG on J1-visa who marries a US Citizen is not exempt from the 2-year home country rule and must still complete the J1-waiver job if he/she wishes to continue to stay in the USA after completing the J1 visa term
