I am French and i graduated from Engineering school. I have been working as an Engineer for the past 3 years, and now I would like to work in USA, in Arkansas.

The third option doesn't exist- to get a work visa you would need an employer to sponsor you.

There is another option, which is to marry the girlfriend first, then go for a CR-1 spousal visa- it is a bit cheaper and you can work right away when you arrive in the USA.

Arkansas is lovely, we live in NorthWest Arkansas

Yes but i want to marry my fiancée the day ill decide it. i don't want to get married just because i want to live and work in USA.

I think i am going to look for a company in arkansas which will accept to sponsor me.

Thanks for the answers
