How a LPR gets the girlfriend come to USA???
I'm a LPR and I have a girlfriend in China, could anyone offer solutions on how to get her come to the USA to join me? Thanks a lot in advance!
The possible solutions are as below but neither one is easy:
[Not married now, then she has a chance to apply visa by herself]
1. F1 visa through TOEFL/GRE (but it's hard a single woman who is working and approaching 30 years old to get a F1 visa)
2. B1 visa (when she arrives in USA we can get married and file her I-485 right away so that she can stay in US and wait for green card)
3. L1/H1 visa (try to transfer her job to the US office of her employer which is a US company, but it's hard to pursuade her boss for an approval)
[Married now, then she couldn't come to USA before she obtain her LPR through me. Maybe I'm wrong on this?]
4. LPR (when I obtain my citizenship in USA which is 2.5 years away from now I can apply LPR for her, but it's too long to wait. To apply her LPR now based on my LPR will hold her from coming to the US for 6~7 years due to the big backlog)
So I don't know when we should get married and how to move her to the USA. Please help!!! Thank you so much!
