Canadian citizens

My fiancé and I are having trouble finding the right visa to help her to be able to work in the US. I play professional baseball and have a work visa from the team but my fiancé is in need one one so we can be together. What would be some places to start? Which visas would she be eligible to apply for?

If you have a Green Card then you can apply for K-1 for her. if you only have a work visa, then you are not eligible to petition for any kind of visa for her, unless you two are married. And even so, it depends on which work visa you have, some might not be eligible to apply for a work permit for a spouse.

No. Fiances of permanent residents cannot get K-1

Shoot, you're right. Only USC can petition for K-1.

So they need to be married to petition for anything...

She can just come as a Canadian visitor.

She can apply for B2.

She needs a work visa, not travel visa. As Canadian citizen she doesn't need a visa to visit the US. OP was asking for a work visa for her.

OP never said that she wanted to work.

First line of his post: "My fiancé and I are having trouble finding the right visa to help her to be able to work in the US"...

Loffy - what visa are you on? Does your visa have a derivative visa for a spouse that allows her to work?

Next question - does she possess needed skills for the US work force (does she have a university education)?

Good luck

She doesn't apply for work visas. Her potential employers immigration lawyer does. What is her field of work?

TN visas are the easiest for Canadians to get. She if she qualifies.

I think I have a B2 working visa is that sounds correct but I'm not sure. She just finished the first of schooling to become a paramedic but any job would work at this point. So the only way is if we get married?

B2 is for visiting not working, What visa are you on.

[Teddy B 17,252]

Probably a "P" visa.

No such thing. As for your girlfriend, doesn't sound like she has a chance at a work visa, sorry.
