The US immigration system is based around family and employment. Without either, there aren't really any options other than asylum.

I was thinking DV, unless she has loads of money for an investment visa.

Or match.com.

She has been pushing for a "fiancee" way to entry but I have been dissuading her. Telling her those sometimes don't end up good. Asylum is an option but how to go about it is the question when she is there & not here to seek asylum.

Asylum is an option though how to go about it since she is there and not here to seek asylum is the question. Her brother made the journey and sought asylum in the Netherlands but that is too dangerous a journey for a woman. Took him two months via Turkey, Greece etc.

She has been pushing for a marriage or "fiancee" way of entry but I have been dissuading her from that route. Told her that could end up bad etc.

You will see that UNHCR referrals fall into the highest category.

She may want to see if she can join her brother then, at least in the short term.

If she has experience as a biologist, a work visa MAY be an option.

What about a student visa? Is she interested in continuing her studies? Most Iranians I've seen in the U.S. came on a student visa.

And if she already has her bachelor's degree, she can find a master's or PhD program and those are way more likely to offer a scholarship/stipend therefore bypassing the problem of ridiculously expensive undergraduate education in the U.S....

But I digress...
