Has now for 2 years, always goes back in time.. Is there a way for her to stay? Start a full time life here? Please help me find the answer...

What kind of work does she do? Some work visas offer a path to greencard after a few years of continuous work.

Other than that, unless she has relatives in the USA that can petition for her, there is nothing.

She ought to consult a good immigration attorney. Here are the employment-based immigrant visa categories - but be aware that a good lawyer can often get someone in under a category that at first glance appears unlikely to the layperson. Maybe she qualifies as a "person of extraordinary ability"

Spouse-based AOS from out-of-status H-1B, May - Aug 2012

so she's coming in on a J-1 visa, each time? there's no adjustment from a J-1 visa, a path to a greencard, without marrying a USCitizen.

She has B-2 visa i believe.. If thats the correct name

A B-2 visa holder is not authorize to work in the US.

So it's either not a B-2 visa or she has been working illegally in violation of her B-2 visa.

There is no path to a Green Card for her from her current visa (except for marriage to a USC).
