How do I get a US working VISA for for my girlfriend?
How do we get a working VISA for her? Would she automatically get one if married to me? At least, I assume that if married she could come with me with no threat of having to leave. When in the country, could she then apply to work legally? Is this easy?
I am interested in your own experiences.
Answer:
Actually, if this is a "common law" marriage by your country's standards, you can bring her over, even if you don't have a marriage certificate. However, that can get complicated, and if you're planning to get married anyway, it would save you a big headache.
Also, if she comes over as your dependent (H-4 visa), she will not be able to work. Period. And no, she does not automatically get a working visa.
What she can do is come over as an H-1 like you, or come over as an H-4 and change to an H-1 after she gets a job. No matter what, she will not be able to work unless she changes visa types.
no 1 of you have 2 be a citizen of the US if you get your 1st then you can marry her for hers
She has to apply for a visa on her own merit.
I have just moved from the UK to the US with my husband. He got a visa through his work but if I want to work I have to apply on my own.
You have to get interviewed etc at the US embassy.I was asked questions even though I didn't not apply for a working visa.
Good luck
1.) if your getting a H1B Visa you can bring your spouse not girlfriend to USA?
2.) for her to work in USA she need go to INS and apply for a INS Work Authorization!!
hi andrew from uk i m in the process in getting my wife over here shes from the philipines but anyways i tthink from what u said on your question is that i believe u have to be an american citizen first to bring her here as your wife but also as a working visa for her chinese americans bring alot of asians women here as working visa but there only here for 6 months then they have to try to extend there visa for another 6 months but i believe your best way of doing it is how u going to come to the us im not sure if she works with u or she is just your wife but why dont u ask ur boss here in the states to get a work visa also well but in the meantime why dont u look up this site at ins then click search it should get u to sites in getting visas for the us or go to a us consulate in the uk good luck and hope i helped u in any way bye
you can't. she has to get permission by herself from her government. She needs to already have a job ready for her in the U.S. Unless the company wants her to come to the U.S., her country's government would least likely to give her a working VISA. The company also needs to be a major company. If her work is promoting her immigration, she is more likely to get a working visa
