I don't know all the details -- my wife knows a family member of theirs and so got the story secondhand -- but as I understand it: the dad, a specialist, had decided to try his luck in the States, even though that required him to redo a bunch of training, including his residency.

But he did it, and became a well-known specialist running a well-regarded clinic in Kentucky. Not a lot of Asian immigrant doctors in Kentucky then (this was a few decades ago). So where to get a son-in-law? He and his wife put their heads together. Hatched a diabolical plan.

The dad set up a year-long fellowship at his clinic *and advertised it in the old country.* Whaddya know: his mailbox filled up with resumes from hopeful young fellow-countrymen doctors in his specialty, many of whom were eligible bachelors.
