A Chinese girl I know is paying someone 40k to marry her for a marriage visa. She's 22 years old and she's not bad looking a tall.
I don't know the whole story but basically she needs a green card. I guess she doesn't wanna go back to China with all the shit going on over there. No, I don't know her personally but have met her before and she's cute and dresses very well. One thing that stood out was when she answered her phone and she said, "This is she." Nobody answers like that anymore. Very proper English.
No, I don't have a picture. I wish I can look her up on Facebook.
Also, this is not uncommon. I work in a casino with a lot of Chinese people so this happens regularly and they always pay up and pay in cash.
