What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Virginia

I am currently in process of receiving my green card. I have loaned money to someone in Korea who is of US citizenship. I have a contract written in Korean with how much he is suppose to give back when. He has lost all the money and he is trying to flee to US. (He has borrowed from multiple people in Korea) I have his US address which is in Virginia.

I would like to sue him here if he comes here. What can I do? How can I make this contract legit in the US?

Sure sue the guy if it makes you feel better. It is your right. Don't expect to collect, though.

Unless the contract has certain US ties, law generally requires a judgment be issued by a court in the foreign country, then filed for enforcement with a US court.
