plus a lump sum payment upon her successful immigration here to the U.S.
She would get half the lump sum paid to him as soon as she leaves him. And everything else they accumulate during the marriage.
I wouldn't do it.

Would you marry not for love but for a visa?

Don't forget about the possibility of being scammed by the "innocent little foreign girl" ...
I have read news articles about how a woman will marry an American, get her citizenship... and then murder the man - inheriting all of his assets... then the woman's (REAL) boyfriend moves to America and they are both setup by the dead "husband's" assets.
The perfect scam!

The Russian mafia in particular has been very good at organizing mail-order brides to scam american men. The suitors usually turn to Russia because I supose they have a racial preference. Also the woemn are quite often well educated, speak a little English, and so might seem easier to integrate into white American domestic life. Plus pretty women speaking with a Russian accent are just so darned sexy. (until the effects of smoking 3 packs of Belomor Kanal a day catches up)
I digress. A lot of them are high class hookers, etcetera with mob connections. The mafia owned front companies, or else has relationships with them, that organize parties in Moscow or wherever, where visiting Americans can mingle, pick and choose who they want. And we thought Muslim's had it easy! But of course the women are well trained in the art of getting ahold of assets. If nothing else, there will always be some poor relative in Vladivostok who just needs a few thousand rubles to feed his family, pretty please. I guess the people that marry these broads deserve what they are getting into. I find it fascinating. Maybe, in the end, it's what marriage is really all about, and these relationships are just more honest about it.

Sure! Plenty of people do it. It's a business arrangement in which both parties benefit when it's all said and done.
In order for me to go through with it, there must be at least $10,000 free and clear for me. Business is business!

That would depend on what country I want to go into. However, since I was born in the greatest country, in the greatest state, and in the greatest city on Jeeeeeee-hobah's green earth, the girl better be loaded.

sheesh.. I wish I had gotten 10,000 (which I hear is actually a pretty common payoff)
Instead I was out 5,000 paying for his attorney and green card!!!!!!!!!!
