It's a SCAM
You never send money to anyone you meet online and anybody asking is a scammer. You cannot pay for a flight ticket if you want her to get a visa. If she cannot even afford a plane ticket then there is no way she will ever get a visa. Sending money is the worst thing you can do as it will guarantee she never gets a visa and you can never met her
To qualify for a US visa the person needs to prove they have enough money for ALL travel expenses without any assistance. If you have sent money they won't get a visa as that shows they are not financially stable and too high a risk of overstaying or attempting to work illegally. If you want to pay for anything you reimburse the person IN CASH after they have arrived at your home
There is no such travel agency in Russia and no travel agency would use a free @mail.ru address, they would have their own domain

That girl is the girlfriend of some mafiya member or some prostitute hired by these guys who is conning men into sending money. That's why you saw the picture. The girl exists
Tell her you have spoken to the US Embassy who said there is NO such travel agency and you cannot pay for her ticket. She has to buy it herself in order to get a visa.
If she says she already has a visa, ask her to send you a copy then email it to the US Embassy in Moscow who will verify if it's legit or not
"If you would like to verify whether someone has received a visa, you may contact us at fpmm@state.gov"
EDIT -- if she claims she has a visa, you can email the US Embassy at the address above and they will verify if she has a visa or not. She cannot get a visa to begin with if she has not provided proof she has enough money to cover all travel expenses, and that requires showing both bank statements and pay stubs.
theres more to this story than what I asked. I even have a picture of this woman holding a card with my name on it . this lady is real. but this is the e mail that I asked her for the travel agency and trying to see if it exists. but just recently a friend of mine had found another inquiry of another guy asking on here last march about the same question of this travel agency. I have fallin in love and iv ben writing and swapping pictures for over a month and a half and this really hurts. iv ben single for years. and its the same agents name [ yan shustov ] on this fictional travel agency. she went by tatyana chernysheva. from the Nizhniy Novgorod area. I feel awful and for the next guy that may fall for this person. who ever she really is.
DO NOT send the money. This is a well-known scam.
EDIT: Of course the woman exists, but I can guarantee she will disappear from your life as soon as she receives your money. You are better off looking for a partner in your own country. At least you can meet, you will understand her culture, and get to know one another in person.
This question has been asked before about a couple months ago and the answer is still no.
Were not you ever told that "spam" folder exists for a reason? Or you are really that na?ve, don't you?
