Brad asks: Does it make sense that my Ukrainian girlfriend is paying a service for attaining her Visa and should I pay for her airfare to come visit me in the United States?
Expert's answer:
The embassy of the US to Ukraine doesn't provide any visa services at the moment. Ukrainian citizens can only obtain US visas in another countries. There are no civilian flights in Ukraine as well, so again Ukrainian citizens have to leave the country by car/bus/train at first. So if someone asks you to help with these services in Ukraine, then this is 100% scam.
