Does what you want to do fall somewhere  on this list? If so and you can get a sponsor for a TN visa, that’s certainly an easier option than H1.

If the person trying to hire me and who has a long Spanish speaking clients, starts an investigation, and hires me as a bilingual physician for research purposes, do you think I would have a good chance? Or that would be more likely in a University or a Research company scenario?

I just read something about a TN NAFTA Visa, is it even harder to get it than a H1B?

1. Your friend has no idea of the requirements for a work visa.  Like most Americans, he thinks that it is easy and all a foreigner needs to do is apply directly for a work visa and get one.  The most important thing for a work visa is to have a US employer who is capable of filing for a foreign worker.  You don't have that.  Your friend not understanding this basic requirement is why he is clueless about work visas. 

 

2.  No.

 

A green card holder can petition for a spouse.  You don't need to wait for her to get US citizen.  

Waiting period for a permanent resident is between 24-36 months right ?

Knowing judges doesn’t help people do stuff here. And people can’t get visas for friends. Nothing to do with Trump, these laws have long been on the books. 

 

There is quite some demand for medical staff in the US, I suggest you look for other sponsors. Companies that are used to sponsoring work visas for medical graduates are a better bet for sure than someone who happens to know a judge. 

 

Also, you don’t have to wait till your girlfriend is a citizen to marry her.

 

(also, if “helping with carpentry issues” was paid you violated tourist status.)

I wasn’t paid, and thank you very much for the help! 

Good evening!

I’m a Mexican medical graduate visiting USA oftentimes to see my girlfriend, who is a permanent resident, and I’m preparing to get my test to apply for a medical residency program in 3 years.

While visiting my girlfriend in the States who is actually working as a medical assistant, I met her boss, and helped him with some carpentry issues he had, and we became friends. 

While talking to him, he asked me about my plans, which are marrying my girlfriend in 3 years when she becomes eligible for citizenship, and coming back and forth to Mexico. After a few months, this physician, who is a extremely wealthy person and who has a federal judge as his best friend, asked me if I was interested in getting a Work visa to work just as my girlfriend as a medical assistant, to which obviously I answered yes.

A few days after that, he called his attorney, who told him that it was practically impossible to get such thing because of Trump’s administration, even if he knew this federal judge and has a lot of money to sponsor. As far as I know, this attorney area isn’t migration, but is car wrecks and that kind of stuff.

Although I know how the law works, the actual immigration panorama, I feel like his attorney didn’t want to try at all.

1. My question is, should I look for a second opinion? 

2. Is there any other kind of sponsorship besides the Work visa that this friend of mine could get me to be legally in the USA?

Thank you very much in advance!

Is any kind of permission to live in the US while the spouse visa is in process?

I'm confused:

If she is a LPR and you are a US Citizen no visa is needed.  Get married anywhere, anytime.

 

As for citizenship, that is a math question.

I’m not a US citizen, she’s a permanent resident and I’m Mexican, living overseas 

Good evening to everyone,

I hope some of you could give me your thoughts and advice about my girlfriend's situation:

She's a permanent resident. She was born in Mexico, but her dad got a sponsored job and took them with him. She studied, elementary and middle school in the US and then came back to Mexico to finish the last year of High school and started a Bachelor's degree here. 

When she left to start University in Mexico, she had (if I'm not pretty sure) a H4 visa, being sponsored by her dad, and after a few years being enrolled in university, her dad got the green card for all his family. She usually traveled every 4-6 months back to the US for a few days in order of keeping that status. After ending university she worked a few months here in Mexico, and she moved back to the United States about a month ago, and she's actually living and working in Corpus Christi TX. We met in our career last year and we have been a couple for 19 months, and we're willing to get married ASAP. She's also being able to apply for citizenship in November of this year. She and her family have never had any kind of trouble in the border because of living abroad.

My questions are:

1. With her history of being outside the US, and not having a work history, credit history or a valid US high school diploma, is it reliable applying right now for a spouse visa?

2. If not because of her situation, how much would you recommend us to wait?

3. What kind of actions would benefit our situation (like asking her to work for a couple more months, renting an appartment for a few months)?

4. Is it safe or high risk for her applying for a citizenship by the beginning of 2020?

5. Could they know by investigating our relationship that she lived all these years in Mexico putting her at risk of loosing her Residency?

For your time and advice, Thank you in advance.
