She is at the airport and needs to show that she can provide for herself while in America.


Bob's Answer:

Yes, a Russian woman needs to show evidence that she can provide for herself during a trip to America... AT THE U.S. CONSULATE WEEKS OR MONTHS BEFORE THE TRIP, not at the airport on the day of the flight! USCIS (U.S. Customs and Immigration Services) does not work at Russian airports. They work at the U.S. Consulate.

It's a scam.
