Is your girlfriend a USC?

If you go through the proper process and get married, then you can do all the things you wish to do. I sincerely hope she lives in Indiana or is open to that idea, since you want that.

What are your qualifications?

[Kieron Stewart 0]

I'm a fully qualified chef and have 24 years experience and have been in catering management for 13 years 

[Roel 7,192]

Not good enough for the work visa. There are maaany chefs in the US already.

Well, after your divorce is finalized you and your girl can either pick fiancee or spouse visa and go from there.

 

Do not start those, until your divorce is final.

I don't think you have any other ways to legally stay and work in the USA.

Well I'm prepared to work in any job eg stacking shelfs or factory work not confine myself to the catering business 

[Roel 7,192]

Doesn't matter, you can't get work visa for stacking shelves or similar jobs.  Every US citizen can do that.

So what are the requirements for a work visa if my qualifications and experience are worthless ??

[Roel 7,192]

They are not worthless, but US employer needs to show that there is no other US citizen that can do your job. There are many chefs in the US, so I doubt an employer would go through the trouble and expenses with the work visa.  You should read about it first https://www.uscis.gov/working-united-states/temporary-workers/h-1b-specialty-occupations-dod-cooperative-research-and-development-project-workers-and-fashion-models 

 

There is also a limited number of work visas per year. And its a temporary visa.

Get a divorce first and have your fiancée petition for K-1 visa.
