Hi Folks!

A sister of my co-worker who is a resident of Singapore for about 20 years plans to move in the USA with her family for good, kids are 7 and 11yrs old). They have properties both Singapore and Philippines, the husband has a stable job is Singapore but willing to give it up when they pursue their plans of living in the USA for good. Next year, their family plans to visit USA(tourist visa) for couple months. My question is, what if an employer here in the USA wants to hire and sponsor work or immigrant visa to either of them? can either of them process the work/immigrant visa while here in the USA(under tourist visa)? or either of them should leave the country and do the processing in Singapore? They just want to know the easiest option. Any insights or has anyone experience this? will appreciate your response. Thanks in advance

You can not obtain a US Visa in the US.

getting someone to hire a foreigner and sponsor them isn't as easy as coming here and finding someone to hire you. First, you cannot get an immigrant visa from inside the US. Second, by law US companies can only hire foreign workers if they cannot find a US citizen or green card holder to fill said position. So that means your friend would have to a a VERY highly specialized degree to get a job here. If it were as easy as coming here and applying for a job, everyone would be doing it. Your friend cannot come here just because he wants to.

Admittedly the vast majority of such questions involve people who have no chance, but there is so little info that it is impossible to be certain.
