otherwise, good luck getting a company to sponsor her H1-B visa

I think the guy's trying to avoid a long distance relationship and apparently he'd do anything to keep her close to him. So moving back to her homeland isn't an option he's looking for, optimistically for her career or not. :P

All I can say is, it's a real bear these days to go from F1 (student visa) to H1B (work visa) status. I know because I've been through it. The biggest obstacle is usually the prevailing wage that needs to be met by the prospective employer. Google it and see for yourself, it's part of the labor certification needed from the EDD in order to start the petition with the INS; the prevailing wage is set impossibly high in most fields in order to give U.S. citizens an advantage when applying for the same position. My recommendation is for her to consult a good immigration attorney because chances are, she will need some help tweaking her job description to meet the requirements once she finds an employer willing to sponsor her. I don't think I could've done it without my attorney, she was a HUGE help.
Oh ya, and don't run out and marry her right away if things happen to fall through. Keep in mind that you'll be financially responsible for her for a full 10 years if you marry her, even if you end up getting divorced.

if you want her around that bad .... marriage.
If you arent willing to marry her then let her go. Stop wasting your time and her time, she would be able to make a mint in china with a degree from here.. your being a selfish little beoch.. you want her around but you dont want to sack up and do the right thing to keep her around..

H1-B quota for the 2004/2005 year has already run out. Earliest to start is Oct 05 and earliest application date is Apr-Jun 05 I think. I'm not sure any company will agree to hire a person and wait until Oct 05 to start, for someone with just a marketing degree and with the current economy.

Thanks guys for all the comments. All I can say is, not that I don't want to marry her, but I'm in financial problem myself. We both know that it couldn't happen at the moment. We will keep looking for a job. Thanks so much guys.
