Asylum is an option?

[Mike20090622 45]

There is a new law for Russia refugees to enter America, and already 20000 Russia people entered America through Tijuana and more Russia people are coming everyday. I am wondering if my Russia fiancé and her kids getting into America in this way and then get married in America, not sure if there are some problems applying for their green card

There is no new law, there are millions coming through the Southern border.

I think you have a skewed view of how things are at the border for refugees. I would not want to subject my fiancé and child with the uncertainty and stress of seeking asylum at the US border when they have a legit path to obtain a visa.

 

• The Mexican/American border is insanely overcrowded.
• Health and safety concerns are constantly at risk.
• The process for them to be vetted for refugee status is tedious and will require them to be in custody of US authority for some time. Which means they could be housed somewhere without being released to you for an undetermined amount of time.
• Even if they do make it to the border, there is to guarantee that would gain entrance to the US.

The point I am trying to make here is that she will not walk up to the US border with no wait and let into the US a couple of hours later. She'd be entering into a long, uncertain, and stressful process.

 

You would subject them to that rather than file for them?

I live in Tijuana right now, I saw many Russia families with even babies and grandma, they need stay in Mexico for a month and there is a company who helps them with everything and they charge 2000$ per person after you enter America, 6 Russia families from my building entered America already, they used to be in Cancun for a month and then come to Tijuana for 3 days, I saw many successful cases myself, the K visa way May need wait years

Do you have a link for this new law?  I can't find one.   You might want to read this:

 

Biden and the Texas border: The maddening tale of how Russian refugees were treated by ICE is a big problem for the U.S. president. (slate.com)

 

" It’s about a married couple, Mariia Shemiatina and Boris Shevchuk, both practicing physicians in Russia, who faced arrest for posting criticisms of Putin’s war in Ukraine. They fled to Mexico, drove to a U.S. port of entry, turned over their passports, requested asylum—and found themselves handcuffed, shackled, sent to separate immigration detention centers, treated horribly by guards, and hit up by a judge for a $30,000 bond as a condition for their release."

OP, you're either engaged or you've broken up.  If you're engaged, follow through with the legal process.  If you're not, this is not a family-based immigration issue that pertains to this site.
