Well, I was looking for it to be him who was seeking the green card, and for her to perhaps be someone who speaks a spattering of Russian. She can be connected to Russians if you like, or perhaps a university grad who took Russian as a language, whatever. He will have a good deal of tattoos himself, so her having tattoos could be the way they got to talking--she admired his when out somewhere, maybe?--or they could have been set up by a relative of hers who knows his situation and thinks she could help...I'm still working out the exacts, obviously! And as for any particular girlies, not really, I'm open to most!
