Typically you get an H1B visa and then they sponsor you from there.

Still a long way for the green card my friend. IF they want to sponsor you, you will be getting a work visa, as the last poster said, this visa is an H1 or so and after you get the visa and have been living and working in the US for a couple of years, you will be available for adjustment of status. It's you who has apply for the green card after being a work visa holder for a couple of years, I'm not confident on this but as far as I know is 5 yrs but I might be wrong. Just marry your sweetheart and wait no more than 1 yr :devil:

You can adjust status through your employer (they will have to sponsor your application just like a USC would sponsor his/her immigrant spouse) BUT it's a very long process that CAN last 5-6 years. I could have done the same thing myself through my employer, but since I met and married my husband who is a US Citizen, I decided to go through AOS this way. Much easier and quicker! :)

05/12/04 => Arrived in the US under L1 status / work visa

03/05/05 => Met the love of my life

07/02/07 => Married my wonderful USC husband

______AOS JOURNEY________________________________

10/03/08 => Package sent to USCIS

03/03/09 => Interview in Chicago, IL =>> APPROVED!

______REMOVAL OF CONDITIONS JOURNEY______________

12/03/10 => Package sent to California service center

03/02/11 => 10 YR GREEN CARD RECEIVED!!

______CITIZENSHIP JOURNEY_________________________

01/20/12 => Filed N-400 for Citizenship

06/21/12 => Citizenship interview: Approved!

07/25/12 => Oath Ceremony.. DONE WITH USCIS!!

[

new question: my gf in thailand. I want to get f-1 visa. I applied for school here usa - short course 2 weeks. Question is : is this too short , so US consulate will probably not approve , because of length.

Description in F-1 : is for full course length. Therefore , should I not do this application for 2 weeks. Should I only send i-20 to Gf for longer time. Catch 22, is you have to pay school first before apply i-20, then is risk to lose money
