What work visa?

The employer sponsoring her for the work visa will take care of all of that, unless she has an employer already lined up willing to sponsor her, then she must leave.

Does she already have a tourist visa?

Why does she want to stay so desperately? What country is your friend from?

good luck

Work visas are sponsored by the employer. The employer must demonstrate a need for a foreign employee. The employer obtains the work visa for the employee.

There are no general work visas that allows a foreigner to come to the US to look for a job since it's bad public policy to let foreign labor complete with US residents for jobs.
