sort of visa question
i have a friend who came into the USA under a 1 year tourist visa, got marriewd within 2 months.
Now they say they have their work viisa without first getting their ssn.
They also say that their greencard will be there in a month (as informed by a lawyer)
can all this be true?

Shes from australia, he USA.
it could have beena 6 month tourist thing, not sure.
and think she has been here a total of 6 months, maybe only 5.
Just seems wrong to me that someone, even though i count them as a friend can go through this process so quickly
