She could visit you.

Find a job with and employer to sponsor you an H1B visa.

Get a B2 visa and visit for six months without working.

The USA doesn't have a visa designed for a couple to get to know each other better while the foreigner works in the USA.

The only way to come here to visit and to work you must have a work visa. These are pretty hard to get.

Unfortunately there isn't an easy way to spend time together when living in different countries.

Sorry! I'm sure someone on here will have some ideas for you though, this is a great site!

Are you interested in becoming a student perhaps?
colinjess
thanks!!

how would i go about finding an employer... surely it would be eaiser for them to find a us citizen for the jobs that i could work as ( im not a specialist in any field , as i have read about)

also the student idea how could i do this? does it involve sponsers and visas ?

thanks
