What could happen if a legal foreign citizen without a visa and US citizen get married on paper to speed up the immigration process but will not live together until next year?

They will usually check to see if the marriage is bona fide by visiting at random times to ensure that the two parties are living together (and sleeping in the same room). It *could* scuttle the alien's chances at getting a green card.

What is the effect of marriage of a citizen to an alien?
The immediate effect is that the married couple now have no place in the world where they can legally live together. The solution is for one spouse to obtain legal immigration status in the other spouse's home country. Foreign spouses of citizens are usually given preferential treatment for immigration. That is to say, it is usually easier for someone married to a citizen to obtain citizenship, than for someone who is not married to a citizen.

A marriage immigration visa, also known as a spouse visa or a marriage-based visa, is a type of visa that allows a foreign national to enter and live in a country based on their marriage to a citizen or a permanent resident of that country. This visa is granted to individuals who are married to someone who is already a citizen or permanent resident of the country they wish to immigrate to. The purpose of this visa is to enable spouses to reunite and live together in the same country.
