Hi all,

First of all, let me apologize if my question has been asked before...

I have been through the USCIS website quite a number of times and I am sooo lost in all these different visa and forms. I could sure use some tips in the right direction.

My girlfriend is a US citizen, living and working in Virginia. I live in the Netherlands. We have reached a point that we have made a decision that we want to live together in Virginia as soon as possible. Being separated like this is getting harder each time.

Because my girlfriend is still in a divorce process, we can't be married for another year, so we have no option to use the K1 visa.
When I visited her two weeks ago, I was offered a job as a teacher. ( not in writing )
I know I could do this and I would have accepted gladly, but was in the US on the Visa Waiver Programm.
My last profession was a sales manager and prior to that, account manager and prior to that Team Leader.
I have no bachelor degree, only my work experience.

Is there any kind of visa that allows me to travel to the United States, live together with my girlfriend, accept a job until we could be married ?:confused:

Thank you so much for your help !

George

The problem is that without a degree, you're unlikely to qualify for a work visa.

So, my diploma which is equivalent to a US associate Degree would be useless, even if I have qualities like speaking foreign languages...?
Suppose I would apply for a visa, would I need to provemy diploma to be equivalent ?

You won't qualify for an H visa with only the equivalent of an Associate's Degree, and foreign language fluency cannot be used to qualify for a work visa in absence of the educational qualifications. I'm afraid you have a year to wait.

Thanks for the reply.
I looked into this J1 visa, but I don't think this is a possibility either. I'm not sure what made you make this suggestion ?
Thanks for trying to find a solution though.
