This whole visa thing is kind of retarded. I don't know anything about green cards or w/e, so...I can only guess it was never an option?

Well... I guess if she is a really really really good friend you could make something work out ;P

Edit: I remember hearing that the interview consists of questions like where is the toilet paper, and lots of other 'trivia' to make sure that you are actually married.

The interview depends entirely on how much they believe you. If you submit convincing evidence during your application the interview is just a formality. My wife got just about every question wrong including her address and name.

Do they send someone and check your house as well?

Fake-marriage-into-citizenships is kinda common in China. I was talking to a friend recently and he was telling me that they pay you a good amount. I don't remember the exact number... but it was a good chunk of a year's salary... (like 20-40k?) but you could only do it like once or twice or else you're going to get busted by the gov't.

Also when I was young, I had a uncle who used my family address as a place of residence for him and his 'wife' (he didn't live with us and i've never seen her). The only thing I remember was him rearranging his things in one of the rooms and taking some government official around the house to prove/show the official that he lived there with his 'wife'.
